nsane.forums Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said in a new interview that while the smartphone maker is committed to releasing Windows Phone devices, "anything is possible" in regards to making an Android smartphone.In August 2012, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop seemed committed to the Windows Phone platform from Microsoft, saying, "In today's war ... (between) Android, Apple and Windows, we are very clear, we are fighting that with the Windows phone." Now it looks like his firm stance has wavered, just a little bit.In a new interview on the Spanish language website El Pais, Elop is asked flat out if they plan to launch a mobile phone that runs on Google's Android OS. Elop's translated response isn't a total denial:In the current ecosystem wars we are using Windows Phone as our weapon. But we are always thinking about what's coming next, what will be the role of HTML 5, Android... HTML5 could make the platform itself—being Android, Windows Phone or any other—irrelevant in the future, but it's still too soon to tell. Today we are committed and satisfied with Microsoft, but anything is possible.Nokia has gone all out in supporting Windows Phone more than any other smartphone maker. The launch of Windows Phone 8 saw several different models from Nokia released and more are reportedly in the works. Last week, rumors hit the Internet that a smaller and thinner version of the Nokia Lumia 920, using an aluminum body is in development for launch later this year.

Alanon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Nokia is a flop, and this pretty much proves it. They've already slowed down their game, and now it's only a matter of time before Samsung and no-name brands that are cheap and have Android squeeze them out.They had a real shot back in the golden days of yore with a Symbian 90 touch-screen version in 2004 (7710). Had they developed it, who knows what could've happened. Leaders of the market? The Apple of it's day? No. 1 manufacturer? We'll never know because instead of that, they went with Symbian S60, and killed UIQ3! <_< Now they have the Bada developed to a very nice visual and so-so practical level, the latest (and hopefully last!) offspring of the child prodigy/colossal mistake we all know and love/despise as Symbian, and are still trying to have their cake and eat it too, by constantly forcing Windows Mobile.People are moving on...
