Nokia Will Not Be Using Windows Phone 7

In an attempt to get themselves back on track Nokia teamed up with Microsoft. But surprisingly they'll be no Windows Phone 7 handsets by the Finnish company.

Nor will they be sticking with Symbian.

Instead Nokia are waiting for Window's new OS codenamed “Mango” which is set to be made available this coming October.

Mango which could be renamed to Windows Phone 7.5 will add a number of new features to the Windows OS including HTML5 support.

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has repeatedly refused to offer any timescales for the introduction of Nokia handsets running Windows Phone, saying only that Nokia expects to ship them “in volume” in 2012 and that he expects to sell 150m more Symbian handsets.

Is this the right move or should Nokia have gone straight for Windows Phone 7?
