Nokia and Microsoft discussing Windows Phone 7

We were shocked, as you might now, when we first heard about it.

September, rumors have surfaced again, as the Russian blogger Eldar Murtzain claim that Nokia will soon be adopting Windows Phone 7.In his weekly blog on the Mobile Review, Nokia Murtazin claims that front-man Stephen Elop has initiated talks with Microsoft, which is funny, considering he used to work for them.

As if Verizon's CDMA friendly iPhone was not shocking enough, Nokia is reported to be in talks with Microsoft.

According to the article, the two companies are not just talking about the implementation of Microsoft apps and technology exchange, they discuss creating an entire suite of Windows phone devices that can go under the name Nokia.

Both companies had closed door talks of working with Nokia-branded Windows 7 Phone devices.

Even if we find all this a little hard to believe, given Murtazin earlier hits, it does not sound so unbelievable as it did for a few months ago.

Eldar Murtazin, ex-Nokia fan and now an Android blogs, commented on Mobile Review that the negotiations took place last month between Nokia and Microsoft.

Also, given the decline in Nokia's home-made Symbian OS and MeeGo still kept under wraps-an agreement between Redmond and Espoo-based companies are no longer seems so distant.

Back in Septenber were rumors about Nokia is working with Windows Phone widespread, but the Finnish handset maker's refusal of such developments.

If indeed true, this technique can venture to see Microsoft's OS become the third largest in the world, behind Google's Android and Apple's IOS.

Nokia last month took responsibility for the Symbian platform development until after the Symbian Foundation, announced to make into a licensing body.

Nevertheless, we are not sure what good Nokia would get from the deal, although it might finally help them to make an impact on the U.S. market.

And earlier this month, shared Nokia China's senior manager Gunther Kottzieper, the iMic Presentation plans to introduce dual-core CPU savvy smartphones.

And with the new scoop on the use of Microsoft's behind the door negotiations made it a bit interesting.

Murtazin reported that the Nokia-Microsoft talked about making a new line of Windows Phone to be sold under the Nokia brand and will have some typical Nokia features.

Quite possible that Nokia will work on dual-core CPU-based smart phone that runs Microsoft's Windows 7 Phone mobile OS.

Currently, Nokia is working with the development of Symbian and MeeGo mobile platforms.

Adding Windows Phone 7 would not only require more labor, but also dedicated resources to meet Microsoft's Windows 7 Phone standards.

No more details were shared on the same, making it clear that these negotiations may still be too early.

Nokia Microsoft partnership could be a simple indication of Google's Android's popularity.

Both companies are sort of kneeling down now to unite against Android, BlackBerry and IOS.

Just in case the talks between the two companies materialize, we hear news about the same at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 next month or Mobile World Parliament 2011 in February.
