After all of the excitement surrounding Nokia’s move to abandon Symbian (the burning platform) and move to Windows Phone 7, there might be a long wait before it actually appears on Nokia’s phones. Windows Phone 7′s capabilities have some limitations that Nokia will need to deal with, and it may not be easy for them. Nokia had hoped to lower its R&D expenditure by adopting WP7, and maybe they will in the long run, but that doesn’t look likely in the near future. There are some problems that need to be addressed first.
For example:
Nokia developers have been discussing some of the limitations of WP7 here. Also, check out SlashGear’s analysis of Nokia’s choice of WP7.
For example:
- Devices with WP7 must have three buttons, not four
- WP7 currently supports just one CPU and one screen size
- Third party applications in WP7 can’t multitask (something that Symbian did very well)
