Nokia Has a Billion Reasons To Love WP7

Posted by Soulskill on from the attempting-to-buy-mindshare dept.

theodp writes "A report from Bloomberg notes it ain't easy, or cheap, to outbid Google. Microsoft has reportedly agreed to pay Nokia more than $1 billion to 'promote and develop' Windows Phone devices under the agreement between the companies. Bloomberg says the agreement for the payment was 'part of a campaign by Microsoft to keep Nokia from choosing Google's Android operating system.'"

    I haven't seen WP7 though I gather from the responses to the parent that it's not so great.

    If you gather things from Slashdot's responses to MS's products... well there you go. Check it out yourself with an open mind, it's actually pretty good.
