Ah, I thought the WP7 deal was a good one... but I think this one has gone too far! I reckon the regulators may block it seeing as they just bought Skype anyway.

I doubt it will be blocked. It looks like Microsoft have big plans to up there presents in the mobile phones market.

I have doubt they'll straight up buy the company, maybe a large share of it, but not the entirety of it

They already did a partnership with Nokia and now they may buy the mobile division of it, hmm interesting.

They already did a partnership with Nokia and now they may buy the mobile division whole of it, hmm interesting.

Fixed it, you know it makes sense.

[Jack!]

Hm, I think its highly possible that they may buy it after everything

And erm, Roumer?

Fixed it, you know it makes sense.

I could see them doing that but I was just taking it from the reports

"We can't make popular mobile software so we will buy someone who can!"

[Firehorse]

wouldn't be surprised if they did, they'd have a massive advantage owning the company that produces the hardware for their software.
