The Nokia X phones
that Microsoft discontinued this
week blend two rival operating
systems, but leave out the best of
each.
As a result, the devices didn't
become a runaway hit as Nokia's
low-cost answer to serving
emerging markets.
Nokia X phones were devised to
be a gateway to the company's
pricier Lumia phones. The
operating system that runs the
phones was to blend the core
technology found in Google's
Android system with services and
designs found in Microsoft's own Windows Phone system.
Nokia looked to Android as a way to sell phones with locally
tailored apps unavailable on Windows.
But Microsoft completed its deal to buy Nokia's phone business
in April, and Nokia X is gone less than three months later.
