Nokia and Microsoft Join Hands

Hi All,

On last Friday, Nokia announced their strategic partnership with Microsoft and the primary mobile operating system for all mid and high end Nokia mobiles will run on Windows 7 and not Symbian any more. Also Nokia made changes in their current organizational structure which would result in job cuts of more than a thousand world wide. So on Saturday thousands of Nokia employees where protesting against the strategic partnership. Because over half of the Nokia employees were working in the Symbian platform R&D and now all their future is big question mark. But Nokia management took this decision to survive in the mobile market. Since their market share dropped from 47% to 28% in a very short span of two years.

Thanks,
Ramesh Kumar Gurusamy.
