Although Nokia and Microsoft already have a strategic partnership that sees the mobile device maker moving all of its operating system business over to Windows Phone 7, is it possible that there is more going on?
Eldar Murtazin, a well-known Russian tech blogger that is known for breaking stories about Nokia, has said that Microsoft is looking into buying the mobile phone division of the company. According to Android and Me,
the talks supposedly would start next week with a target of the deal
being closed by the end of the year. This would see Microsoft start
producing its own handsets as well as licensing the operating system out
to other companies such as HTC.
Despite Mr. Murtazin having a reputation for breaking Nokia stories
early, the company seems to be taking umbrage at the rumor as
demonstrated from the following tweet from Mark Squires, UK Communications Director for Nokia.
