Very sad - i have been using Nokia phones for nearly 20 years (since the original Nokia Orange) and loved their simple but effective menu interface.

Windows Phone is a load of bloated pants (which i have to use on my work phone).

RIP the mobile "phone"

This is good news. Windows Phone will get better if MS can focus on their own hardware, as we all know controlling both is the winning combination.

I wonder if they'll stop the Nokdroid? Or could Andy96 finally be right about something??
