Nokia has confirmed its unique relationship and partnership with Microsoft is even more closer than that of its rivals.
Talk about a change of mindset – it looks like Microsoft are taking back what they said about not allowing manufacturers to customize Windows Phone 7.
Microsoft originally didn’t want their operating system to be like Android – where consumers faced update delays just because manufacturers decided to throw on their own UI or skin over the stock operating system but now it seems that things have changed. Nokia has just confirmed that they will be allowed to customize the Windows Phone 7 operating system any way they like. But they have mentioned that the customizations will be kept to a minimum and won’t affect the update process when Microsoft releases updates for the operating system. It hasn’t been made known if Microsoft will now let other manufacturers play a role with WP7 customization, but if so, we’re probably going to see a very different operating system when Nokia makes their WP7 phones. This Nokia-Microsoft deal is starting to get very interesting. What do you think of a Nokia-customized WP7 device?
