Nokia: The world’s largest handset 製造者 will use Microsoft’s operating system

In a screeching U-turn, the world's largest handset 製造者 will all but abandon its own underwhelming 動きやすい phone ソフトウェア and use Microsoft's operating system instead.

But the Finnish 巨大（な） lost a tenth of its value after the far-reaching 取引，協定 （機の）カム to light まっただ中に 関心s that Nokia was giving too much away to its new American partner.

The 協定／条約 is the most 劇の move yet in an 試みる／企てる to 生き返らせる the struggling Nokia by new boss Stephen Elop, who defected from Microsoft in the autumn.

It follows four years of abject humiliation for Nokia since the 開始する，打ち上げる of the iPhone, which has seen Apple snatch the Finnish group's 栄冠を与える as the 中心人物 of 動きやすい phones.

At the same time, Nokia has been losing out in the 中央の-tier of the 動きやすい phone market to handsets built using Google's Android 壇・綱領・公約. And its 最高位 in cheap phones is also under 脅し from low-cost Chinese 競争相手s.

In a sensational email to staff 漏れるd の上に the internet this week, Elop に例えるd Nokia's predicament to an oil rigger on a '燃やすing 壇・綱領・公約' 軍隊d to hurl himself into the icy waters.

The hard-hitting 覚え書き （人命などを）奪う，主張するd Nokia had fallen 'years behind' 競争相手s and 危険d hurtling into oblivion unless a '抱擁する 成果／努力' was made to transform Nokia.

Yesterday, Elop （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that it was now a 'three-horse' race in the にわか景気ing market for smartphones, which are now outselling PCs.

But 分析家s are 懐疑的な. Unlike Nokia and Microsoft, Google and Apple have developed 悪賢い and 使用者-friendly systems, spawning millions of ソフトウェア 使用／適用s.
