Even if a lot of Nokia and Symbian fan boys are dejected with their favorite companies partnering with Microsoft, it seems Nokia will be more than happy with this partnership. The Finnish giant will be getting USD 1 billion from Microsoft. Nokia is getting all this booty because MS wants Nokia to use this to promote and develop Window Mobile 7 OS for Nokia phones. This deal will last for 5 years. So how will MS benefit from this kind of set-up? Well, firstly, it will get royalty fee for every Nokia device that goes out with Windows 7 Mobile OS and secondly, just imagine they amount of money they will make on licensing given the volumes at which Nokia has the capability to churn out phones. As of now, it is not sure whether Nokia will bring Windows 7 OS on it's low to mid-range phones. Their high-end smart phones will certainly get Windows 7 but I am sure even MS must be pushing Nokia to get Windows 7 on its low to mid range phones cause that's where the volume game is and Nokia leads it.
