Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Readying for their Launch – NOK, MSFT


The countdown has started. In a few hours on Wednesday, Nokia Corporation (ADR)(NYSE:NOK) and Microsoft Corporation(NASDAQ:MSFT) will be set to unveil the Finnish company's most powerful smartphone in a bid to take a shot at toppling the dominance of Apple and Google in the segment.

Nokia is trying to take back its position as the world's largest maker of mobile devices, a position that it lost earlier this year to Samsung.

Microsoft on its part is a new entrant to the mobile phone market and is trying to gain a foothold in a sector where rival Apple is streets ahead of it.

Nokia is set to a showcase a couple of new Lumia smartphones that will run on Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 software.

The Lumia 920 and smaller Lumia 820 will run on the latest Windows Phone operating software, which Microsoft hopes will rival Apple's iOS and Google's Android to become a third mobile platform.

If the new phones do not appeal to consumers, it could spell the end for loss-making Nokia and deal a serious blow to Microsoft's attempts to regain its footing in the market.

Previous Lumia handsets released by Nokia have received a favourable response, though Microsoft’s Windows 7.5 software has not been able to gain much traction in the mobile industry.
