London, Feb 11: World's largest cellphone maker Nokia and software giant Microsoft will form a broad strategic partnership, a move that will help them to fight stiff competition from rivals Apple and Google in the smartphone market.
The partnership, announced today, would see Nokia adopting Microsoft's Windows Phone as its main smartphone platform.
The two entities would form a "broad strategic partnership that would use their complementary strengths and expertise to create a new global mobile ecosystem," Nokia said in a statement.
Both companies have good presence in India.
Faced with intense competition from Apple and Google, the Finnish major has seen its smartphone market share going down in recent times.
The latest partnership move comes a few months after a former Microsoft veteran Stephen Elop took over the reins of Nokia.
