Nokia, Why Windows when we Have S60?


Sometime back Microsoft’s marketing director said that though Nokia is kinda of Symbian brand loyal they are in the process of discussion where they are pursuing Nokia to go with Windows mobile. Nokia didn’t react to this news when it was flashed by ITWire, I think now a days Nokia doesn’t react much to what media says about the company, leaking of N96 pics and specs and the German episode are good evidences for that.Anyways, getting back to where we started, Nokia didn’t react or say anything with respect to going for Windows Mobile as their operating system; suddenly yesterday, Sony Ericsson launched the XPERIA, which actually runs Windows Mobile 6 (is it that Microsoft employee wanted to say Sony Ericsson and he said Nokia). So I was wondering when is Nokia coming up with Windows Mobile handset, which was highly unlikely, given the popularity and market share of Symbian OS in the smart phone market. Now, Nokia CEO has confirmed that they are not at all thinking about going for Windows Mobile 6.0 as their OS, of course why would they go for this OS man, especially when they are coming up with S60 touch this year. Why would a winner bank on a loser’s strengths, when the winner already has his winning formula of Symbian OS in place.
