Would Nokia And Microsoft Come Together?

Nokia, the market leader of mobile phones in the 1990s and early 2000s, is facing a stiff ‎competition from both iPhone and Android. Nokia’s market share continuing to slide is a ‎grave concern. On the other hand, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 released recently has ‎received positive reviews. ‎

A well wisher has suggested that Nokia and Microsoft join together to promote their ‎markets together and contribute to the development of new products and applications, ‎suitable for the market, in a conflicting and contrasting environment.‎

This has lead to a development wherein the two giants have come to a common ‎understanding that says: “In addition to great device experiences we must build, ‎capitalize and/or join a competitive ecosystem.” While Nokia has scheduled an investor’s ‎meet in London on February 11th, The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona could be the ‎event when the ice would be broken on the speculation. ‎

Nokia’s share in the high-margin smart-phone market segment has dropped by 10 per cent ‎on the same period in 2009, to 31 per cent
