#2Embrace, extend, ...
But seriously: I'm very curious to see where this goes. Perhaps a way of running Android apps on Win phones? That would be a tremendous boost.

Seriously though. This is great news, good to see that Microsoft is opening themselves up. Whether or not this is because of the new leadership, it's definitely the step in the right direction for Microsoft.

Nokia doesn't belong to Microsoft. Nokia's phone division belongs to Microsoft. I imagine the actual Nokia company will begin selling Android phones in a couple of years again, too, so you can't call these "Nokia phones". They are Microsoft phones now.

#10Look at the pseudo-win-phone interface on that X2. It looks what it is: an imitation of another phone.. also it's blatantly confusing for users who will now see what appears to be a windows phone interface but be unable to use windows phone apps. Odd strategy.
