Nokia is facing increasing pressure to dump their existing mobile operating systems in favor of Microsoft's Windows 7 Phone, a move that could keep the company relevant in the market for smart phones.
Nokia has focused on developing their own operating systems, Symbian and MeeGo while competing vendors such as Samsung and LG have started using Google's Android.
According to a report from PC Pro, a number of influential analysts are piling pressure on Nokia, encourage flagging manufacturer to drop both Symbian and not yet released MeeGo OS in favor of a Microsoft link up.
This follows Monday's news that Android had passed Symbian to become the world's most popular mobile OS in Q4 2010.The sales difference was relatively slim - Nokia still sold 31 million Symbian phones, 1.9 million less than Android - but Nokia lacks a presence in West, where Apple and Android handsets are preferred.
Adnaan Ahmad of Berenice Berg Bank - the oldest private bank in Germany - have urged Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, do the following: Get rid of your own proprietary high-end solution (MeeGo) - it's the biggest joke in the tech industry right now and will put you further behind Apple and Google.

Ahmad argues that a transition to Windows 7 Phone would benefit both Microsoft and Nokia, but the platform is currently struggling to compete with the two big names.
The numbers support this view - WP7 only accounted for 5 percent of the handset market last Christmas.
Ahmad advice was repeated by Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair, who said the switch to Windows 7 Phone would address the key concerns we have about Nokia in recent years: terrible software.
Nokia is still the world's most popular smart phone manufacturer, have a market share of 28 percent last quarter, saw a potential deal could be a match made in heaven.
Au.
Ahmad seems to believe it: Two million units sold in the last fourth is not really much to write home about, given $ 500 million in marketing programs, but with Nokia on the page, you will have access to a potential 20-25 percent global share of time - and exclusivity.
