Microsoft could buy the smartphone division of Nokia . From a tweet account Eldar Murtazin, editor of the Russian mobile-review.com, we read that Steve Balmer of Microsoft and Andy Lees, along with Stephen Elop and Nokia‘s Kai Ostamo will meet in Las Vegas to finalize a transfer agreement Division of the Finnish smartphone. Indeed, so far, neither Microsoft nor Nokia have managed to keep up with two big market that Google with its Android and Apple with its iPhone. At Microsoft have thought good that something must be done as soon as possible.


From the time that Microsoft will acquire Nokia’s smartphone industry, the name of the Finnish brand will disappear from its touch phones. And ‘therefore the end of the sector for Nokia, an area in which to tell the truth, has never managed to shine nor to replicate the success of its handsets.

The Redmond company will become the only smartphone division, this means that the Nokia will everything else, such as mobile phones. This does not mean the end of Nokia as a company, since his name is too important and too well known in various areas to think of an ending like that. Already last year, Nokia had decided to dispose of its Symbian operating system in favor of Windows Mobile . That is what was already the first step towards a final handover?

What happens next on the smartphone market? With the union of these two big, one may expect some interesting news. Microsoft will fight “with tooth and nail” not to lose any more ground, even to buy. Of course, the competitors will not stand to watch, as demonstrated by a few days ago Google acquired over 200 patents from IBM . It will be a good 2012.
