Nokia and Microsoft have entered into a strategic agreement under which mobile phone manufacturer goes to the operating system from Microsoft. Such a solution, Nokia has adopted, having failed to renounce the amount proposed by the software developer in the $ 1 billion.
What is the benefit of both parties? , Microsoft gets a huge market for operating system Windows Phone 7. And also it is now certain that the Finnish manufacturer will not go running Android, and will use on their smartphone OS Windows Phone 7.Although for this and paid the sum of $ 1 billion, but it is worth noting that some of the money meant for development and promotion of WP7-Nokia smartphones on the market.
What kind of future awaits a company Nokia? Almost all analysts have expressed their bewilderment by the agreement. The company's shareholders questioned the success of our strategy and have already fallen substantially in value of the shares of the company.
The company Nokia will pay royalties to Microsoft's each sold a smartphone, but she hopes that this does not strongly affect the cost of the final product, as well as the use of Windows Phone 7, Nokia will reduce the cost of software development.
Well, it is too early to assume that something, perhaps a new alliance of two major companies will allow them only to enrich.
