It is quite heartbreaking news Motorola recently released. According to Cristy Wyatt of Motorola, there are no plans yet for the company to be in negotiations to do smart phones utilizing the Windows Phone 7. She stated that the company does not envision utilizing the said operating system for mobile phones. The company is 100% on Android and says Windows does not offer possibilities of developing unique value. For some, this is a mistake that Motorola is not yet realizing but for the company, they do not wish to make commoditized hardware only. We can only wait till the future reveals the truth.

HTC HD2 may loose out on Android OS if this report is to be believed.. Peter Chou, the HTC CEO seems optimistic about Windows Mobile and speculates not to have any hands on HD2-Android mix. Have a look at what he said in an interview given to Forbes: About the HD2 HTC's solution is the HD2, a wafer-thin handset that combines a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a high-end processor for snappy downloads and fast Web browsing.

Views about Motorola dumping Windows Mobile HTC may be updating its brand, but it's sticking by its longtime partner, Microsoft ( MSFT - news - people ).
