Nokia, Microsoft becoming Windows Phone bedfellows | Deep Tech - CNET News

.....Instead, the companies will cooperate tightly under an agreement the companies just describe so far as proposed, not final. Windows Phone 7 would become Nokia's "principal" operating system, and Nokia would help Microsoft develop it and ensure a broad range of phones using it are available globally.....

looks like the rest of the world will be getting sandblasted with wp7/nokia marketing.

hopefully this puts a fire under MS's *** to get some updates out.

This is the jolt that the platform needed. WP7 will soon flood the market like Android except all the phones will have the same version of the OS and at least the bare minimum hardware requirements outline by MS. Ovi Maps is a huge deal for those that care about GPS. Nokia puts the best cameras on their phones. I'm pretty excited about Mango on a 4G Nokia phone in the US.

An odd pairing, but the idea of N8 hw w/WP7 = do want!
