high-end Windows

High-end phones, Nokia has announced in the future to use Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. This week, the company started N9 smartphone. The phone is available for Nokia and Intel's joint project, the result MeeGo platform. However, Nokia has announced that continue MeeGo development.
