Elop believes a Surface Windows Phone from Microsoft would 'stimulate' the ecosystem
All is rosy between the ii chaps at the Lumia 920 proclamation
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop appeared to welcome the idea of Microsoft creating its own Windows Phone in an investor call today. Elop has previously declined to acknowledge or confirm such a project was underway at Redmond, just we later covered news that Microsoft does indeed have its own Windows Telephone in the works.
The response from Elop is directed at questions on whether a potential Surface phone would be viewed as competition and damage the partnership the visitor has with Microsoft. The CEO went onto say:
"We're encouraging of HTC and Samsung and Microsoft or whomever to have devices in the market and to exist making any investments that helps spur the ecosystem on."

It's clear that Microsoft is currently undergoing a shift in focus to a device and services visitor, which is something that has been reiterated with the Surface Windows 8 tablets. Microsoft entering into the hardware side of Windows Phone would put the company in straight competition with Nokia and other OEM partners. What we could see from Microsoft is a unique feel that offers that special spark for fans of the Bone.
Elop showed trivial business organisation over possible disruption to the Windows Phone ecosystem, adding further confidence in the company's Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 smartphones.
"Nosotros're very proud of the unique differentiation that nosotros are bringing to the Windows Phone platform. Information technology'south not something that'southward easily replicated or reinvented or anything like that."
What Microsoft plans to achieve with such a smartphone is unclear, but with the investment it has made in Nokia, as well every bit the refreshed relationship with HTC, some would exist taken by surprise should the company release Windows Phone 8 hardware of its ain. Could we see possible customisation, or would Microsoft produce a 'pure' Windows Phone feel?
