Microsoft has apparently donated £28 million, or roughly $44 million to its Windows Phone partners which include Nokia & Samsung in order to bolster Microsoft's campaign in United Kingdom.It is also rumored that three-fourth of this amount will go to Nokia to broker the deal which would ensure that future Nokia SmartPhones will be running on Windows Phone 7.5/Mango & above.According to an anonymous source:
‘Microsoft is funding a massive campaign with Nokia across every single media you can imagine. It’s the last roll of the dice for them. They must go big, bad and boldly. Microsoft is desperate to kick the hell out of Android. If they can get across how amazing Mango is they could really crack it this time.’
Nokia is all set to unveil its very first Windows Phone devices at the Nokia World Event to be held in London on October 26th,where as Samsung is also looking forward to diversify from the Android platform probably after the launch of Galaxy nexus during the Samsung & Google Event to be held in Hong Kong on October 19th Tuesday.Samsung Omnia W is said to be the primary ficus of the Holiday season in U.K .
There are also rumors that the major emphasis might be given to the social networking features & integration,although the details are miniscule to say the least as to what we can expect during the World Nokia Event.
