They also tweeted this:

Dear @instagram , make our fans' dream come true... 2InstaWithLove – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog #2InstaWithLove pic.twitter.com/E7RKYNyRSD

This has to be a PR stunt

I too thought it was a stunt, but seeing this makes me think otherwise

Seeing this makes me feel even more confident that it's a marketing stunt. Why pay for ads which tell the world that the phone you're trying to sell doesn't have support for one of the biggest social networks?

But liquid daffodil tweeted to instagram saying theyll develop the app for free if instagram allowed it
makes me think insta isnt interested at all

At the end of the day I think of Instagram as a fad. As soon as something better comes along or they do not self-implode than people will leave in droves. From a business perspective; by isolating a potential user base due to arrogance (at least this is what it sounds like) self-implode seems to be the route they will take.

Of course Instagram will eventually disappear, but a platform has to support what's popular right now. It's really not about Instagram but about a service which is available on iOS and Android but not on WP. The must have services will change over time, and a mobile OS has to be able to support them relativity quickly or they will become irrelevant IMO.

Not sure it has anything to do with anyone 'hating' anyone.

And doesn't Facebook own Instagram? Facebook just bought an online advertising platform, Atlas, from Microsoft. So maybe there's not too much hating going on. Too bad MS didn't negotiate an Instagram app for wp8 as part of that deal, there's a lost opportunity. Facebook snags Microsoft's Atlas to boost ad sales | Microsoft - CNET News

Facebook did, but when Facebook doesn't even have a Facebook app for WP, it doesn't give my confidence that they will bring Instagram over.

This is exactly it.

Kinda looking more likely this now, with Instagram even deleting photos...

This looks to me like a marketing ploy to build momentum for an announcement of a Nokia-exclusive Instragram app coming SOON!

don't hold your breath...
