The alliance between Nokia and Microsoft for the field of smart phones does not intend to materialize in launches marked by subtlety or discretion. On the contrary, it seems that the intention is to suffocate the sector with what we could define as an offensive by attrition.
And it is that according to the vice president of the smartphone division of the Finnish firm, Jo Harlow, the strategy of the new line of terminals that would be released between late 2011 and early 2012 would be to update the portfolio with new devices each two or three months. There is nothing.
In principle, these plans could have a trick. You will recall that in previous week we told that the first phones to launch Nokia with Windows Phone would be adaptations based on terminals that have already launched Symbian 3 (or Symbian Anna) from the Nokia N8, which would become Nokia W8.
Thus, throughout this year, each of the Nokia smartphones that were released (from the Nokia E7, the first to launch the range in 2011, but followed by the Nokia E6 and Nokia X7, in addition to, as we say, which we hope will be revealed throughout 2011 with the Symbian Anna system) could be reissued as part of the Windows Phone catalog.
That does not rule out that the premiere of Nokia's Windows Phone series will be dedicated to terminals specifically designed to open the line that makes clear the alliance between the Espoo and Redmond firms. In fact, when the collaboration that both companies would begin to develop this year was announced, prototypes were shown that had nothing to do with the mobiles that we are already used to seeing as part of the Symbian 3 line.
