Today, following plenty of rumour, Nokia has announced plans for a partnership with Microsoft that’ll see Windows Phone being used as Nokia’s main smartphone platform.
Symbian will become what the company describes as a “franchise platform”, with plans to almost double the current base of 200 million Symbian owners to around 350 million in the next few years. MeeGo is becoming an open-source mobile operating system project, although Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product this year.
