When you say planned, do you mean for Microsoft to eventually purchase Nokia on the cheap, or to simply obliterate them?

- AJ007 14y agoMay be the plan was just "get a competitor out of the way." Whether they end up buying them or putting them out of business and purchasing all their patents doesn't matter. Though, hopefully for Microsoft, someone else doesn't beat them out on the latter.
- vladd 14y agoSimply obliterating them kills Windows Phone for good, I cannot imagine M$ wanting such things.
- r00fus 14y agoThe plan was to obliterate Symbian and replace it with Windows Phone. Symbian probably died faster than they planned.
- moylan 14y agoi thought it was to buy nokias patents at a knock down price later.
