Nokia and Microsoft Looks Like a Desperate Hook Up.

Ryan Kim writes: "Ultimately, if Nokia goes this route, and there’s no guarantee it would, it would show a lot of desperation. It’s crazy to think the world leader in smartphones still doesn’t have a credible answer yet to the iPhone, more than three years after the iPhone’s launch. My advice for Nokia would be to develop something in-house so it doesn’t become a commodity smartphone player and isn’t dependent on a third-party for its software. But if it can’t get its own smartphone OS plans together, something it failed to do in the last three years, turning to Microsoft might be its best play. With market share declining in the face of iPhone and Android sales, it’s clear Nokia needs to do something."
