A new internal Nokia memo has leaked, providing more details on how the new Microsoft partnership will affect Symbian and MeeGo.
The Register has gotten hold of an internal Nokia memo describing today's announcements in details. While the job cuts have been known for quite some time, it has to some extent been unclear how Nokia plans to handle Symbian and MeeGo as the company moves ahead with the new partnership with Microsoft. The internal memo sheds more light on that matter.
According to The Register, the internal memo includes the following clues when it comes to smartphones:
"Symbian software development-related activities would continue within Accenture for as long as needed, as well as other mobility projects serving other Accenture clients. Nokia's portfolio of Symbian devices will gradually be reduced and eventually discontinued, in line with the ramp up of the availability of Nokia devices based on the Windows Phone platform. Towards 2013 and beyond, activities will focus on the maintenance of the remaining products on the market."
"The Windows Phone organization has started to ramp up its operations and a large part of that organization will be in place by the end of 2011, and Nokia aims to retain as many people as possible from other areas, such as the Symbian and MeeGo organizations. There will also be opportunities within the Meltemi (read: Windows Phone) organization, for personnel working within the MeeGo teams."
