Microsoft Reportedly Looking to Buy Nokia's Phone Business

[g00fysmiley]

if m$ does buy nokia I hope they don't pull an aple and onyl sell m$ branded phones knocking other copanies from using their software.. pretty sure that's hamper thier plans for WP7/8 .. personally I with nokia had bought WebOS, it made sense with thier old standpoint of not watering down the brand and they'd be the onyl ones with it... btu that isn't how things panned out. so here's hoping if this happens m$ keeps letting other oems use thier OS... and that soembody will make a new WebOS edivce... I'm gettign tired of my palm pre but nop other OS is appealing to me (still have to check ICS though but the older android versions weren't impressing me)

Won't happen, Nokia is too strong a brand to simply carve up for ownership of IP

Another one bites the dust?

MS is so cheap. They should acquire Samsung phone business instead, and rename Windows to Galaxies ;-)
