Microsoft urges Nokia to offer Windows Mobile devices

[MetalheadGautham]

After , Acquiring Trolltech , i think Nokia will be more interested in releasing Qtopia based Mobile phones .

Thanks for backing up my statement. Anyway, TrollTech was bought for a proper reason. It was not just for investment. It was also not for QT. It was because Qtopia was a competition for Nokia and they decided to assimilate it into themselves. Now you can expect them to first release a few mobiles using Qtopia. Only later will Windows CE be concidered. So I think we can safely say that by the time they concider wince, version 7 will be out of wince.

qt is still free baby!if nokia tries to play smart we can expect a fork of qt for Linux !

lol

@infra, see here. Moto did buy 50% of UIQ from SE. The RIZR Z8 is based on UIQ 3.1.

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Yes dude. My point was that with these in place the chances of Nokia or SE coming up with WM are bleak

 

[hellgate]

when is Windows Mobile 7 coming out.i'm seriously thinking of getting myself a WM 6 device but if WM 7 is slated to be launched in a few months then i can wait.

if Nokia agrees to come out with WM fones then i wud like to see fones like N95 8Gb running WM and having touch screen.

u-turn

^not ofcourse!I am still not supporting it personally.but said that for many a foss devels who uses qt

I dont expect nokia to release any WM phones. They own the major share in S60, which is a major compititor of WM.

Currently, WM is a mess, not something for the general user, It is more suited for the corporate set up. This is something which even MS has accepted, and they said that we shall brig WM up to the level by WM 8, not WM7. Eventhough 7 does look good, there is still a long way ahead for WM.

Its very very messy and seems more all over the place!

 

[dreamcatcher]

Well SE ha come out with WM...lets see what they do with it..The XPERIA

 

[MetalheadGautham]

by the time WM7 is out, Android will be waiting out there. So M$ Better watch out.

 

[dreamcatcher]

Android being a new platform will tak some time to get accustomed to and gain acclaim..MS however crap it may b with its mobile operating systems is making some great partnerships...Android however willcome with manufacturers outside SE anfd Nokia whcih is a big blow

As most of the users of wm are corporates it will be better if Nokia makes wm mobiles in its E series .. i wud really like if a win mobile comes with a gud screen and nokia can do so .....



VERY VERY OFFTOPIC ::::::::::

Wait....that is not an issue?

................
wow, .net sux then, it is useless where there is a common code for both Desktop & WinMobile

Holy moley ,,, this guy has some issues with linux or is blinded by love 4 windows ....... now I am not saying that it's bad that u love windows it's a personal choice ......
But plz listen to what the dude is saying and then bash him

U saying that windows mobile has a lower hardware requirement than mobile flavors linux let alone desktop linux ..HAHAHA...... plz say this in laughter challenge for geeks ( i'm sure Japan will have a show like this)....... or u can do so on the lines of the angry german kid series on utube..

 

[MetalheadGautham]

^^nice bump

 

[Jayanth.M.P]

nokia must have some models released atlest 2-3 per year which carry Windows Mobile OS. Sometimes the plain symbian menus suck. now wait a few minutes i will also jump into the bashing arena.....lol

I hope Nokia produces phones which run Android rather than the crappy Windows Mobile.

Symbian, Android, Mobile Linux and the Maemo OS are much better than Windows Mobile any day because of their lower hardware requirements.
