Nokia + Windows Phone 7

So the Greatest hardware meets the amazing software. Good to hear that Windows Phone 7 will be on all smartphone price points not just high end. Nokia is very strong in standard cell phones but definitely not a leader in SmartPhones. Nokia are good at producing hardware……they simply now produce to hardware baseline so it runs WP7. But the question is “how is Nokia going to produce magic hardware that will prompt people to buy windows phone?”  Nokia has devoted fans. They just buy whatever Nokia is selling. All these fans see something in Nokia, a cultural backbone, a design philosophy which is uniquely Nokia’s. How can they possibly maintain that backbone while depending on an OS made and designed by another company? Lets hope it will be win win situation for both. Zdnet used a very nice graphic. The product mix looks awful.
