Optimistic Windows Phone 7 Forecast

Although it seems that Windows Phone 7 is doing very badly compared to Apple, Android and RIM it seems that the folks at Pyramid Research think that by 2013 Windows Phone 7 will beat Android. They are banking on the Nokia-Microsoft partnership whereby the mobile phone giant will be able to roll out several Windows Phone 7 devices in order to compete with the multitude of Android devices already available in the market today.

“We trust that Nokia and Microsoft are a really absolute tandem, and that will uncover in a full force by a finish of 2013,” writes researcher Stela Bokun. “Some of a categorical obstacles to a enlargement of WP to date will be removed, as Nokia helps with bringing down a cost of WP smartphones. Lower cost of a inclination will be a essential exigency for a enlargement of WP models. Nokia knows it and Microsoft knows it, and we are certain they will act on it quickly. It’s also value mentioning that, detached from Nokia, utterly a few other vast handsets vendors in a world, such as Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson are still fixation their bets on WP. With a change in a cost of WP devices, and a multivendor vital proceed of Microsoft, a categorical advantage of Android – scale – might be removed.”

However since it is already almost halfway through the year 2011 that gives Nokia-Microsoft a little less than 2 years to make that prediction come true although this is assuming that Apple or Google does nothing revolutionary in the meantime.
