Nokia/Android Mobile to be Launched

[john2028]

As most people will know Microsoft took over the Nokia Mobile division a short time ago. I have always liked Nokia business mobiles, as the cameras were always excellent and mostly had Zeiss lenses. However, I never really liked the Windows Mobile software, or the prices demanded for applications.

 

The new Nokia mobile, promoted by Microsoft and running on Android, with it's thousands of free applications etc. might be worth keeping an eye on when launched.

Probably 999Baht will follow this up, as and when the device is available in Oz.

 

Cheers.

My understanding is MS are just fulfilling contractual obligations and you won't see too many more after the X2 that was just released and you might be better off looking at the low end Motorola's. I run an N5 and it does most of my entertainment needs: reading, video, RSS news feeds etc so SoC and screen compromises would annoy me.
