Good news for fans of Nokia because the world’s largest mobile phone vendor is likely to soon use high-speed processors made by Intel. If the news is confirm, before the end of the year will release its first mobile phone.

The second generation of intel Atom processors previously codenamed Moorestown was officially available starting Tuesday (05/04/2010) then. Intel claimed the first phone that will use these processors will be available later this year and using MeeGo platform, open source operating system based on the result of the merger between Intel Moblin and Nokia Maemo.

“You’ll see devices with Moorestown and Meego began the end of 2010,” said Pankaj Kedia, director of global ecosystem programs Intel mobile internet devices as reported by Pocket-Lint, Wednesday (05/05/2010). He was not sure whether the first mobile phone is Nokia.

However, implicitly Nokia said the same. A spokesman for Nokia said it will use MeeGo start later this year. “We hope to produce first MeeGo device later this year,” the source Nokia.

If true, Nokia will shift the LG. Earlier, during the Mobile World Congress 2010, LG is showing off LG GW990, which become as the first mobile phone with Intel Moorestown platform and Moblin. However, recently rumored LG cancel the production.

New series as the first smart phone OS based Nokia MeeGo, which makes all functions become much simpler.In carrying the N9, Nokia focused to the needs of their users: application functionality, notification, and switching between applications.

Now the User Interface (UI) has been enhanced with mobile latest gesture. Nokia hopes this new platform can meet the needs of consumers.

Based on data from Nokia Conversations quoted Tuesday Nokia N9 known team of developers has brought a new element in the field of mobile phone design, software development, as well as UI development.

Although the tablet is now being popular does not mean that netbooks have already died and the proof Asus will release a netbook that is super cool and sleek.

According to some news on the internet, Nokia announced that it would lay off 1,800 employees, most of them work in the Symbian department and service department. So some of us guess that:

1. Symbian is gradually exiting from the center of the strategy of Nokia.

2. Nokia might cut its tail for survival.

Of course, in considerably long time, Nokia will not completely give up Symbian systerm. Although it failed in the battlefield of high end smart cell phone market, Nokia still occupies a large share. This is the base which Nokia could bob up like a cork.

Symbian operation system was once hot all over the world. But swift development of iPhone and Android cell phone makes it disintegrate. Many Symbian allies quit quietly. This brand manufacturer couldn’t support the future of Symbian alone. Nokia needs to think thoroughly. Why Symbian couldn’t hold on in the smart mobile phone market.

Comparing to WM7′s fightback, Nokia cooperate with Intel, intending to take advantage of the entirely-new MEEGO to turn over. So we could conclude that how important an advanced OS is. But choosing a suitable time to launch into market is more important. Opportunity matters for survival of any mobile network company. You should be brave and smart enough and choose a right time if you want to take back all your loss.

As an old saying says, trade leads like to trade the knife. Stephen Elop commenced his assignment, so he surely will do something to demonstrate himself. His possible achievement is worth of waiting. Nokia is in the process of changing. Changing to be good or bad needs time to tell us.
