Now that the Nokia – Microsoft deal has finally happened, if you are excited to check out the a Nokia phone running Windows Phone 7 then you will have to wait for Two more years. According to a report published by eWeek, Nokia’s first Windows Phone 7 devices won’t hit the market for another two years, and the company’s partnership with Microsoft carries some wide-ranging and systemic risks.
Here is what we think may happen if Nokia takes two long years to get Windows Phone 7 on their devices:
- Third party Nokia app developers will be puzzled as to when to start developing on Windows Phone 7 platform.
- These developers will also be confused on building a successful exit strategy from Symbian app development for high-end Nokia devices which are currently powered by Symbian.
- Within two years Android and iOS will have scaled up to new heights and will have reached a large number of users.

This is really stupid of Nokia. If it is going to take two more years, whats the point in going with Microsoft? They could have stuck with the Meego IMO.
