“When we launch Windows Phones we will essentially be out of the Symbian business, the S40 business, etc., ” Nokia Inc. President Chris Weber said in an interview. “It will be Windows Phone and the accessories around that. The reality is if we are not successful with Windows Phone, it doesn’t matter what we do (elsewhere).”
Nokia is in partnership with Microsoft to develop and market Windows Phone 7-based devices. The question is whether anyone will care, and that’s still a mighty big “if.” The company is planning a resurgency in the US once Windows phones are ready to go. What’s more, Nokia has a big reach in parts of the world that still aren’t able to buy Android or iPhone devices.
