Nokia and Microsoft Partnerships
In a potentially revolutionary announcement, Nokia has reached an understanding with Microsoft to migrate from the long-running Symbian, to Windows Phone 7 platform.This seems to be a clear shift from Microsoft's approach that the user experience belonged to Microsoft, and no OEM would be allowed to change it.
But, it seems that the rules may be bent just a little bit for Nokia. In response to a question if Nokia will be able to "customize everything on Windows Phone 7 in order to differentiate itself?", Stephen Elop, said "Yes!". However, he added that minimal use of this capacity would be made, and compatibility would be a key concern.
This is a potential win-win situation for both organizations, as Nokia gives it's dying smartphone market a boost, and Microsoft gets an OEM, that's not just an OEM, but much more.
This development is also expected to make Intel's future entry into this fiercely-competitive market that much more difficult, as it has virtually no presence in this domain.
Nokia has not announced any forecasts for the launch of the first Windows Phone 7. However, it mentioned that 2011-2012 will be the year of transition to build the planned mobile ecosystem. Also, Nokia's full-year prospects of its Devices & Services business are subject to significant uncertainties. This might be another reason for Nokia not announcing any forecast regarding the launch.
Experts are expecting the first Nokia Windows Phone 7 device by the fourth quarter this year, with Nokia's engineering teams already working hard on it. Nokia expects to sell about 150 Million Symbian based devices this year and release its first MeeGo based product later this year.
On Nokia’s blog, Stephen Elop and Steve Ballmer commented about the Nokia-Microsoft partnership, saying that Nokia plans to usher a revolution in the smartphone market and be much more than another OEM. Nokia can potentially include contributing expertise on hardware optimization, language support, customization of the software and expects to bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies.
He was optimistic on Nokia's chances of beating the fierce competition, quoting speed, determination and resource quality as some qualities that would enable it to succeed.
But competition is not nearly the end of Nokia's troubles. According to Finnish publication Helsingin Sanomat, over 1,000 Nokia employees staged a walk-out at company's Tampere office this afternoon to protest the shift towards Windows Phone and the expected job cuts. Tampere office houses nearly 3,000 employees - half of whom are said to be working on projects related to the nearly-extinct Symbian platform.
Nokia's unprecedented announcement has clearly ruffled many feathers, with Nokia planning to gradually phase out Symbian and backburner all MeeGo development while transiting to Windows Phone 7 platform. It was announced that Espoo's worldwide workforce will take a hit, and people with Symbian-focused software products would be the most affected.
In a related development, Nokia's shares on the New York Stock Exchange dived by over 14% at the time of this writing, while Microsoft prices have taken a hit of over 1%. However,both the Dow and NASDAQ indices are positive.

Well, it’s not common knowledge, but I recently started out at a Dating Website LoveID, and guess what a new app for dating enthusiasts has come up on WP7. It’s called DateSquare, and gives you a slew of features that help set you up. This comes in three variants, the basic DateSquare app, a Facebook app, and an app for millionaires (now, what’s that?)
This promises to be a free dating and chatting app on WP7, and is seen as the dating hub of all the location based services like facebook, foursquare and other various location based services.
We have below the description of the WP7 description of the app
Ever been to a bar/club and wanted to date the hottest girl/guy across the room?
Then DateSquare for Facebook is for you. This app shows you all Facebook & Foursquare users available for a date and checked in to your location or a nearby place. It shows you matches – (when criteria for both you and your potential date matches based on your profile & preferences set in the app) in a separate view so that you don’t waste time hitting on someone who might not be interested in you.
The FREE app let’s you:
1. Ask for a date by sending an instant message with your profile displayed on your partner’s mobile
2. Get instant response to your date request
3. Instant chat with someone you might be interested
4. Look for potential dates located anywhere in the world by using our innovative Map search. The map plots pictures of people on the location they are checked in at real time. It makes real easy for someone who wants to decide on a location to hangout where all the hottest girls/guys are currently partying and are available for date.
5. Dial your date directly once he/she confirms your date and call request. No more asking of phone number required.
6. Get directions to your date, once he/she has accepted your date request.
7. Check in to venues powered by Facebook places.
8. View all your recent/past dates or messages.
9. Get notified instantly when there is a match available nearby your current location. This way you don’t have to keep checking your app for possible dates. Simply check in to a venue and we will let you know as soon as your match is near by.
What to do next:
1. Install this FREE app
2. Login in to the app using your Facebook credentials (DateSquare does not store your Facebook password).

Download this app now and never spend the evening alone.
