Might I add that Nokia is from my home country and my first smart phone was a Nokia. I don't like seeing Nokia end up this way. They should be making high end Andriod phones not be an unpaid prostitute for M$.


What do you mean "unpaid"? Microsoft paid Nokia a fortune to get them into this deal.

In Q4 2011 alone, Nokia received $250 million from MS for using Windows Phone, and it's rumoured these "platform support payments" will eventually exceed one billion. At the same time they're apparently paying far less royalties to Microsoft in return.

So a prostitute, sure, but they seem to have managed to sell themselves for a reasonable amount at least.
