#2These are interesting comments from Nokia in the light of their partnership with Microsoft. Most likely this would mean Nokia will change the UI of the Windows Phone environment to their taste.
Secondly: According to Nokia, Microsoft will be adopting Ovi Maps to all their services in the future.

If nobody uses it, will it really be screwed?

#5Umm.. Live tiles are a huge part of windows phone dev environment. Not sure you could change much on the home screen.
Maybe rounded corners? But why bother?

#6This should be clarified as I would like to invest on the WP7 platform due to Nokia being pushing it on their upcoming mobile phones. I was expecting them to have some success if they didn't change anything at all on WP7 but this makes me think otherwise...

#7My take on this- how much can they really modify here and make sure they don't break compatibility with the 3rd party apps? If things were not so dire that they needed to dump a platform they have years invested in, is it really smart(arrogant?) to think that the OS that has actually shipped and seems to be pretty good is not good enough for them?

My take on this is that they want to differentiate it enough to make it more "Nokia-like". However, what this means concretely - is still unknown.
Also, my guess is that they will announce something on this the coming summer, well before Nokia world in September.

#9My first phone was a Nokia. My subsequent phones were Nokia too. All these phones predate the iPhone era. Nokia's phone were rock solid. One even survived a fall from the first floor with minor scratches. But their interface was one of the clumsiest; inconsistent, not very user friendly and sometimes not very usable. The only two things I remember doing is messaging and phone calls.
I haven't got my hands on a WP7 yet. But judging by my ZuneHD I'm sure the interface must be very good. So far I was hoping that the deal would bring a solid phone with a pretty interface to the market. But now it's obvious, it's going to be another superb phone spoiled by the OS and the interface.

#10> In the video Öistämö goes over once more why Nokia decided to partner with Microsoft ...
A couple $billion reasons come to mind right off the top of my head.
