Rumors that Microsoft will buy Nokia's Smartphone Division
So, if the rumors turn out to be true ... a good move for Nokia?  I'm not too sure, if all they have left is the dumb phone product line is this the end of Nokia?     How about on the flip side, a good move for Microsoft?   Does Microsoft aspire to be like Apple (closed mobile ecosystem) or like Google Android (across multiple vendors).

The Wall 
All good points.  However, I think Nokia needs this in order to ensure they can enter the apps market.  Not so crazy since Elop is from Microsoft.  Not so crazy since we are moving into the cloud environment, which can and will eat into Microsoft's software licensing business.

If they sell the Smart Phone division to Microsoft, they won't need Apps ...

If they sell the smartphone divsion, they have essentially sold Nokia.  Nokia's business is basically cell phones.

At the moment their dumb phone sales top their smart phones sales, but not sure of the value of this product line.  I'm sure Microsoft is not interested in the dumb phone product line.
