They'll have RIM build them instead once they buy them out.

I like my HTC mozart. It's built well. The only other company I'd probably switch to would be Nokia. Microsoft already have good quality partners. Why break that?

Another scenario: Rim builds them after buying out Nokia (depends on who implodes faster and has the most fools for investors).

It doesn't have to. It already owns Nokia.

NO XPHONE 720?

Wasn't there a report saying MS gave the middle finger to HTC regarding WP 8?

 

[dreadlokz]

Well, they should.

Don't want another Zune on their hands.

"We have a strong ecosystem of partners that we are very satisfied with," = LOL!!

There just no strong ecosystem of sales.

I think the MS Tablet will be Zune 2.0...

Nokia is struggling... but they are far more stable than RIM.

After taking 2 years to introduce their WP7 device, and losing a staggering $2-billion last quarter, I am amazed that you can claim Nokia is more stable than RIM.

The windows 8 metro style is because ms is trying hard to increase its mobile marketshare. I hope MS will remain at this marketshare, because i want them to focus more on PCs, and make great windows editions.
