Dating as far back as we can remember, Microsoft was rumored to build an enterprise and productivity-focused Surface Phone. Even before Redmond purchased Nokia’s moribund handset business, Windows fans couldn’t help but picture the platform’s full work rate and potency translated on a smaller screen, perhaps with some sort of a kickstand included, definitely with stylus support, and PC convertibility capabilities.Granted, the ...

On the eve of their big London announcement, Nokia might have a problem. Once, far and away the favorite to take Microsoft on a ride of profit and swing dancing, Nokia has failed to take advantage of it’s position as Fresh Prince of Windows Phone to gain any significant market share. Windows Phone still finds itself an uber-distant third in the smartphone marketplace and while Nokia has done an admirable job making quality hardware, it hasn’t quite gotten the job done in the flying off the shelves department. Now Microsoft might have to take the reins and ride this horse to ...
