Nokia and Microsoft made a joint announcement today that they are creating a strategic partnership which includes (among other points):
- Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its principal smartphone strategy
- Nokia will help drive the future of Windows Phone, contributing its expertise on hardware design, language support, etc.
There is much more, covered in depth here, but this is a significant announcement for Windows Phone developers and certainly one we’ll all be keeping a close eye on.
