Nokia is reportedly in talks with Microsoft for using Windows phone on its future devices.
And this is only a few weeks after that Andy Rubin from Google came out of his hope that Nokia would be to switch to Android sooner rather than later.
The news appeared in an article by Eldar Murtazin of Mobile-Review, which has a strong reputation for predicting this kind of thing.
The site has it that it was Nokia's newly installed chief executive, Stephen Elop (ex-Microsoft) that has held meetings with his former company prepare mains of Windows 7 for telephone handsets, which will apparently be released in 2 quarter of 2011. The units will be sold under the brand name Nokia, the Nokia distribution channels and would sport Nokia typical features.
Slim chances for that to happen, though, because the first MeeGo phones are also expected in the second quarter of next year.
And let us not forget Nokia's bragging statements on the new Symbian and MeeGo that suggested confidence in the Finnish company's software strategy.
Could they have been just empty words? It is most impossible to imagine a company that revolutionized the telecommunications market, Microsoft provides free access to devices.
Another possibility is that this is only a temporary measure, to give Nokia more time on finishing the new Symbian and MeeGo.
Only time will tell whether Nokia will give up on their next two OS's in favour of Microsoft's Windows 7 Phone.
Nokia gave a short statement to the press, to strengthen its earlier decision to refuse to comment on any speculation.
