Google's Schmidt says Nokia still welcome to join Android

Eric Schmidt, now chairman of Google, seems to have developed into a permanent keynote fixture here at Mobile World Congress.  Last year, just his very presence was enough to stir up an atmosphere. This this year, in the immediate wake of the Nokia/Microsoft tie-up  - which left Google's Android the loser -  perhaps Schmidt and Google appear less the all-conquering threat and more like just another powerful player in the mobile ecosystem.

“We would have loved Nokia to choose Android and we certainly tried,” Schmidt told those assembled.  Asked what might happen if the alliance between Microsoft and Nokia failed or was less successful than anticipated, Schmidt answered: “The offer remains open for the future.”

Indeed.  The question many people have been asking here is not "Why Microsoft?", but rather why didn't Nokia hedge its bets and adopt both operating systems?  It doesn't appear that the agreement with Nokia involves any exclusivity and it's an approach other companies have adopted. Elop has also called Android "a worthy candidate" so the option doesn't appeared to have been ruled out on the Nokia side. Plus, having more or less dumped both Symbian and Meego, Nokia has the R&D resources. 

As things stand now, Nokia is facing a significant sales shortfall in Smartphones over the next 6 months as its potential users either wait for its new Phone 7 phones to appear or, just as likely and even more damaging, go out and buy an Android instead.  Then there's the possibility that, when Phone 7 Nokias do arrive,  users find themselves unexcited by them and don't buy those either. 

If Phone 7 doesn't generate big smartphone sales for Nokia and its share price tanks even further, perhaps Schmidt's offer will be taken up.

Cheapest 3G Mobiles

  Now this year 2010 is going to be the era of 3g in the field of mobile communication in India. Most of the indians have been aware of buying 3g mobiles. Mostly all of the nokia higher end phones have the facilities of 3g. But due to the cost most of us won't buy that type of phones.
  Nokia and samsung have understand it and they have introduced two entry level low cost phone with3g capability.
  At first we have to note that a 3g phone is the one which can operate under UMTS 2100MHz frequency.
  The Nokia 2730c is the entry level low cost 3g phone with 2MP camera, 30MB internal memory, bluetooth, usb and memory card slot.And this cost around Rs 4999 (approximate).
  The samsung c5130 is the entry level 3g slider phone with 1.3MP camera, 30MB internal memory, bluetooth, usb, video call and memory card slot. As it has video call feature it will have secondary camera but many of the images of this phone has no secondary camera and so i am really confused about this. The price of this phone is around Rs4904/-

 Both of the phones are really super and cool in its looks.Airtel has tied with nokia for the prom of nokia2730c and announces 100MB data free per month for 3months.
