CEO Elop Hints Nokia Will Be 1st To Windows Phone 8, Weighs In On China And Android

windows-phone-8Nokia'sQ2 earnings out today reflect the big challenges for the handset maker amid what CEO Stephen Elop calls the "ferocity" of competition from Android and Apple, but here's a clue to one interesting development: he closed off today's analyst call with a hint that Nokia might be the first handset maker to produce a smartphone on the much-anticipated Windows Phone 8 platform from Microsoft.Asked at the very end of the call if Nokia would make the first phone for Windows Phone 8, Elop would not answer directly, but said: "One signal [of what is coming] is that on the number of occasions when Windows Phone 8 has been demonstrated it has been on a Nokia device. We have a close relationship that is unlike what anyone else has with Microsoft."
