A Nokia Android phone running a Windows Phone interface and Microsoft services might not be as outlandish as it might initially sound.



From All About Microsoft:

More leaked images of the alleged Nokia 'Normandy' handset have been hitting the Web as of late. The most recent, posted on January 16 by @evleaks, shows an operating system that looks very much like the Windows Phone interface grafted onto Android, as one of his screen shots above indicates.

The thinking, supposedly, is Normandy would be a good entry-level phone for emerging markets. Tom Warren at The Verge said he's heard from one source that the device will sport a 4-inch display, a Qualcomm S4 processor, 4 GB of storage and 512 MB of RAM. I've heard from one source of my own that Normandy is running a custom version of Android built on the Android Open Source Project code base. The screen shots from @evleaks make it appear it will run Nokia's Camera, Here maps, Skype and other Windows Phone services.
