Nokia will accept Windows Phone as its primary smartphone platform, but will keep support for Symbian, and will also out a MeeGo device by year-end, with MeeGo staying as an open-source playground...

Finally! I've been waiting for something like this to happen for so long!
Nokia = Great value for Money (Great hardware, low cost)
WP7 = Nice OS with good Apps
...
Nokia + WP7 = Perfect Phone (Though not for everyone)

Using only app count to bash a platform is a failing argument. You probably live in the US where only low end Nokias come. Nokia makes top of the line hardware. WP7 is a good platform, a good update will make it great.

HAHAHAHAH! If someone says there are nice apps, that refers to quality not quantity. Most of the apps you need are in the 6000+ WP7 has. I have seen over 30 apps in Android that do exactly the same thing. What a waste. The huge numbers don't really mean much. Android doesn't even have a Netflix app for streaming. WP7 does having only a fraction of the apps.
BTW I am not bashing Android, I love it. Even so, WP7 is quite good.

why would a failed platform was taken by the failing company, and they call this as strategy?
Nokia and Google mixed could have elimiinated the samsung,HTC and LG or Nokia would have been more respected if they have struck to Meego

First of all, you have some GREAT English.
Second of all, WP7 is far from failed. (Where do you get your facts from)?
Third. Nokia is not failing, SYMBIAN is failing, which is why they are leaving it.
Lastly Competition in the market is healthy as it causes competitiors to step up their game.

Nokia should have opted for Google's Android, as Microsoft's Windows has lots of limitations. Android grows many times more than Windows.

Nokia will break free of WP7 limitations. Otherwise they will just become a generic hardware manufacturer because wp7 is soooooo restricted.

Very bad decision... quitting Nokia. Joining the Android army. WP7 and Nokia fail.

Lol. WP7 is pretty good right now. Would you like to expound on why this "fails"?

I wonder how a N8 user feels now:). And MeeGo is D.O.A. as I expected.

This is a huge game changer. This is the first real challenge to Android taking over entirely. Apple will probably always continue to hold a small niche in the US, as they have with computers, but world wide they have always been going nowhere fast, as they have with computers as well. Huge coup for WP7. I mean, it doesn't get any bigger than Nokia.

pretty clever...
WP7 is simple and beautifull OS with a lot of potential. If they continue to develop it, Android maybe in some trouble.
