Nokia/Microsoft Partnership - What do we want!

Speculate all you want - the Nokia - Microsoft partnership is a good thing for the mobile phone industry.

It was sad to see such a manufacturer heavyweight like Nokia stubble to its knees over the past 3 years with bombed smartphone products and glitchy, substandard operating systems. It wasn't always the case because Nokia had led the field for such a long time with well made, easy to use mobile phones but they just couldn't cut the mustard with the new kid operating systems in town aka Apple, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile (to a certain extent).

So what do we, the end user want from this partnership?

Nokia's world class, durable, well designed and built handsets with Windows Phone 7 operating system with plenty of free applications but most importantly at a reasonable cost with no pointless million megapixel camera's and features that we would just never use.... oh and a battery which will last more than a day!

Too much to ask?

If the partnership is to succeed then they should focus on the mid range handsets and build device(s) which everyone loves. High end devices are now plentiful and that market is crammed.

Lets see what they offer in the up and coming months
