Nokia is rumored to be in talks with Microsoft to launch a possible 7 Phone Windows-based smartphone during the Nokia brand - marks a huge change in attitude from the Finnish giant.
Nokia is rumored to be looking to develop a new mains of smart phones running Microsoft's Windows 7 Phone operating system.
Nokia is reported to have taken the initiative for talks.
The rumors come from Eldar Murtazin, who weekly op-ed in Mobile Review said that a newly formed Nokia's management had met with Microsoft last month to discuss possibilities for cooperation.
If talks with Microsoft are going, they can be misinterpreted as if the phone OS, but in fact be linked to existing alliances between the two companies, as it announced late last year to add more support for the Microsoft Office services in Nokia phones.
Nokia is currently struggling to retain its market share against competition from Google's Android, Apple's IOS and BlackBerry while you continue to use the Symbian operating system.
Nokia has repeatedly denied media reports that it may consider switching to Android OS, that it was satisfied with Symbian and Intel joint venture, MeeGo.
If the rumors are true, then it would mark Nokia's first attempt to adopt a different operating system in their smart phones.
But despite opening up Symbian to the open source community has not excited app developers in the same way as Google sponsored Android platform managed.
Nokia has effectively dismantled its once great Symbian development team in favor of expensive public relations campaigns, said Murtazin.
Together with Microsoft is a bad idea.
Nokia had a strong developer team, the company somehow decided to disband.
The proposed alliance shows the weakness of Nokia.
They look desperate and can not control the situation, he wrote.
