Nokia Google Android phone coming? Bye Bye N97

View Comments 06 July 2009

Some new Nokia to drool over. Did i say I’d like a N97?

Nokia is understood to be developing a mobile phone that runs on Google‘s Android software platform in a strategic U-turn for the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer.

The new touchscreen device will be unveiled at the Nokia World conference in September, say industry insiders, as the Finnish handset giant tries to revive its fortunes in the smartphone market.

Nokia, which makes roughly four out of every 10 mobile phones sold, has been losing out in the market for phones that can access the internet, send emails and download third-party applications, to products such as the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Storm. The Android software platform, meanwhile, has been gaining ground with over half a dozen handsets expected to be available by the end of the year.

    Unfortunately Nokia officially denied this very shortly after the story appeared on The Guardian.

    “Absolutely no truth to this whatsoever,” said a Nokia spokesman.

    “Everyone knows that Symbian is our preferred platform for advanced mobile devices.”
