After the aftermath that is Nokia dropping Symbian support for its flagship models (the basic phones for emerging markets will still dance to Symbian though) much to the chagrin of their engineers, we could probably be looking at a Verizon handset as the result of Nokia’s venture into Windows Phone 7 territory.
Why do we say so? After all, Nokia revealed that they have been in talks with the carrier concerning possibilities for hosting one of its smartphones – rolling back the years, so to speak. This is a measure on Nokia’s part to reinvent itself and take back some of its market share, hence chatting up Big Red in the process. It remains to be seen whether other US carriers have been approached or not, but surely you can tell that the battlefield lines are already being drawn, slowly and surely.
CDMA support for Windows Phone 7 will be arriving next month, which means Sprint and Verizon will be playing catch-up with their range of WP7 devices. It is highly possible that Nokia could roll out their first WP7 model sometime this year, and a CDMA Nokia over at Verizon could very well be part of the second wave of WP7 devices, riding on Microsoft’s updated hardware specifications.
