Windows Phone Staying is Staying Out of the Ring Next Week

Android is looking like it’s going to be the front running OS next week at mobile world congress. All the prime players (LG, Samsung, Sony and Acer) will be poised to unveil their latest and greatest devices. In a somewhat puzzling move, Nokia, who employs primarily windows os on its devices, is holding a separate press conference where it will reveal its brand spanking new Nokia X. Nokia X will be the first premium smartphone built by the company that uses android and not windows.

Nokia is the biggest partner for windows in the handset market, but they aren’t the only manufacturer.  Heavy hitters Samsung and HTC both make windows phones and neither of them have prepared anything for this event using a windows OS.

I guess I’m just surprised. Windows phone OS has made drastic improvements and I do enjoy the UI very much. It’s odd that for one of the biggest trade shows for handsets this year that they would have nothing in competition for best in show.

Thanks for reading and be prepared to be slammed with news and coverage from MWC next week! I’ll try to minimalize my excitement to just the important stuff! Any questions or comments you can leave them below. Thanks again!
