Nokia Android Phone Rumours, Nokia Responds Nokia Sticking with Symbian, No Android Phones Planned

Over the course of the last few days there's been a wealth of
speculation hinting that Nokia are intending if not to wholly switch
from their Symbian OS to Google's Android OS to at least offer Android
powered phones alongside Symbian handsets, but, judging by Nokia's
no-nonsense official response, these rumours are wholly untrue.

The UK's Guardian initially reported that Nokia were set to turn to
Google's Android OS in what they referred to as 'a strategic U-turn' for
the company in reportedly acting to develop a new touchscreen phone that
would bypass Nokia's Symbian OS in favour of Android - a move, the
Guardian stated, which is spurred on by what they cited as being a
'relatively muted' response from consumers regarding the Symbian OS when
compared with extremely positive responses to both Apple's iPhone OS and
the Android operating system.

At the time the Guardian reported Nokia's apparent 'strategic U-turn'
Nokia were yet to offer an official response but they have now, and it's
especially unequivocal in tone.

Everyone knows that Symbian is our preferred platform for advanced
mobile devices, stated an unnamed Nokia spokesperson who added that
there is absolutely no truth to this whatsoever concerning the
Guardian's report.

So, that'll be a no then.
