There are several reasons why a Nokia Windows Phone is unreasonable. The two companies are rivals in the telecommunications market. While Microsoft is mostly limited to developing the smartphone operating system Windows Phone, excluding the Microsoft Kin phones, Nokia actually plays a role in the entire market - from software, to hardware and even network equipment.
The Finnish giant has to its disposal two smartphone operating systems - MeeGo and Symbian. It doesn't make sense for the company to pursue another system, which does not even have a great reputation.
What is being discussed in the corporate tables is the probably role of Qt in Windows Phone app development. Qt is a framework that allows developers to program software using one set of APIs and one programming language, without having to make a large amount of alterations in order to port them to different devices, as the compiler takes care of that. Microsoft, on the other hand, prefers to play by its .NET framework, allowing programmers to develop in both Visual Basic and C# languages.
A collaboration in these terms would see a higher number of apps being developed, and possibly a revenue share model - but still unlikely.
The news comes from the Eldar Murtazin, who reports for the Russian portal Mobile-Review and has in the past brought countless rumours to the table, which turned out to be accurate.
Currently, Nokia and Microsoft collaborate in Office mobile apps, but the business is limited to that.
