According to a published report released on Monday, Microsoft once
considered a plan that would have allowed buyers of a new smartphone, to
choose between Windows Phone or Android after making the purchase. The
plan was discussed in a confidential document that one of Microsoft's
Windows Phone partners had written up for internal purposes.The document
also noted that the unnamed Windows Phone partner had met with
Microsoft to discuss this plan.
The report stated that after
purchasing the handset that the buyer wanted, he would make a decision
to permanently have it run on either Windows Phone or Android. To make
this plan feasible, Microsoft was planning on making the Windows Phone
hardware specs more in line with those found on Android models. To some
degree, that has become reality thanks to the GDR3 update which allows
the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet to offer a 6 inch glass, 1080 x 1920 resolution and to feature a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU under the hood.
Obviously,
the plan never went past the discussion stage and while Microsoft still
has the same goal of wanting to see Windows Phone on as many devices as
possible, this apparently will not be the way the goal is achieved.
