Samsung Electronics Co is looking forward to rope in engineers from Nokia, as the Finnish firm is having some second thoughts on continuing with its own Symbian platform. This decision was taken by Nokia in a desperate bid to salvage their Smartphone business, which is currently in dire straits.
Nokia, the world's largest handset maker has clearly stated that they are through with Symbian and would like to avail the services of Microsoft's Windows Phone over the coming two years to bring itself at par with fast growing smartphone vendors such as Apple and Google.
Samsung Electronics Co will start negotiating with Finnish employees over its new strategy. This move can create a big furore by devouring more than 5,000 jobs in the Nordic country.
A newsletter posted by a Samsung developer on the Internet voiced its desire to add Nokia's symbian developers to its workforce. It gave an open invitation to all beleaguered employees to make bada (operating system), their new home turf. However Samsung, the world's No.2 handset maker maintained that it was not an official entry and newsletters were addressed to a group of engineers in India who turned up at the bada developers' conference.
Bada, is Samsung's proprietary operating system that keeps its gaze fixed on the low to mid-ranged smartphone market. Samsung, the biggest Android phone producer, is pitting the Galaxy S smartphone in the high end of the market to tussle with Apple's iPhone.
