The rumour is widespread in the market and claims that the Microsoft has offered Samsung a massive USD 1 billion to continue work on Windows phone device.
The source of rumour is Mobile Review’s Eldar Murtazin who has claimed that Microsoft is in negotiations with the South Korean giant for making Windows Phone devices and is ready to pay a whopping $1 billion in return for the favour.
Ugh do we really need Samsung on windows phone side. Their Cheap products are horrible and overrated in my opinion.
I would rather Microsoft pay that to HTC or even zte or LG.
For 1B per year what can Sammy bring to the table that MSFT doesn't already have? Except for the original Focus none of their WP's have done very well.

Well Samsung would help WP8 but it would crash Nokia if ever Samsung gives full blown promo.
That's called an opinion, as it is Windows Phone wasn't looking too healthy on the OEM front. ZTE make handsets that look, feel and are cheap, more so than anyone else and LG are focusing efforts on Android.
As for HTC, they are in dire financial difficulties so why would Microsoft sink money into a black hole like them, at least with Samsung they won't have a fear of losing their money and will get a ROI.
Of course this is if this rumour is true.
