A company that once stood atop the mobile-phone market is throwing in its lot with ... another company that once stood atop the mobile-phone market. Nokia announced this morning that it will adopt Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 software in place of its homegrown Symbian. In the bargain, Nokia will contribute some of its own software and hardware, such as mapping technologies, to the smartphone operating system Microsoft launched last year to replace the failed Windows Mobile.
A Microsoft press release and an open letter from Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop and his Microsoft counterpart Steve Ballmer give the outlines of this deal.
