A new direction for Nokia

[Paddix]

It seems Nokia will be reducing Symbian devices in the coming years and switching to WP7. What do you guys think of the transition ?

A lot of people are hurting because of the news that Symbian will eventually be fazed out.Athough they said they are going to franchise Symbian who is really going to show interest in the OS;further QT has no future in their forward planning .One Meego device will be coming out-possible at MWC 2011.We are not sure when we will see another Meego device.So Symbian^3 with all its update will be used as a stop gap until WP7 is ready which could be sometime in 2012.Maybe those who are in love Symbian will try to hold on to version 3 after it updates a while longer.It could also mean Symbian could fetch at a premium prior to cease of production.

Engadget got a couple of exclusive images of the Nokia Windows Phone devices. No word on hardware specifications yet since these are just concepts from the two companies. The devices look slim, colorful, and sexy. Photos after the jump.

The recent comments on The Nokia Blog regarding the Microsoft and Nokia partnership have been really negative so far. Do these photos change your mind a little?
