Microsoft has confirmed that some mobile phone that uses Windows 7 Phone software, send and receive “phantom data” that suck up the cost of data network.

In early 2011 some customers complained in some forums virtual world that their phones have been automatically using data packets without sepengatahuan them.

Microsoft revealed that their investigation has found that almost all the problems were caused by a service ‘third party’ without identity. Yet they continue to look for other causes.

“We’re communicating with third parties to help them make some improvements,”said a Microsoft spokesman told the BBC.

The company also believes that problems affect only a few percent, a small number of customers Windows Phone.

The problem was first stuck out in early January when some mobile users with operating system Windows 7 Phone claims that the phone they use 30 to 50 megabite data every day without their knowledge.

Windows 7 Phone launched in October 2010 which was greeted with joy by the users and manufacturers of telecommunications products.

The software is regarded as the company’s first serious challenge to their rivals in the sector, operating systems like Apple, Google, Research in Motion, and Nokia.

Microsoft announced the availability of updated Windows Mobile operating system 7 or Window Phone. This application can be downloaded directly from your Windows Mobile 7.

For mac users, applications can be downloaded by using the connector Windows Mobile 7 for mac. These applications can also be downloaded using a PC.

Nokia finally took Microsoft. The alliance of two giants is expected to ‘save’ Nokia from the slump caused Android invasion in the last two years.

Through the collaboration, Nokia plans to use Microsoft’s operating system, Windowa Mobile Phone. Not only the operating system, Nokia also will use Microsoft developed ecosystem for future development.

Steps taken by Nokia, apparently not solely intended to polish performance smartphone which diminished during the year 2010. Moreover, through this partnership, Nokia wants to develop a new concept of global mobile ecosystem, to sustain growth in all Nokia products.

Through this new approach, Nokia apparently was targeting the consumer for the next billion mobile internet services, especially in countries emerging mobile market broadbandnya. As disclosed Nokia boss Stephen Elop, Nokia was in a critical point and must make a change for no worse off.

Cooperation with Microsoft – which incidentally is the alma mater Elop, is expected to accelerate changes that are expected, regain leadership in the smartphone segment – which had eroded by the presence of Android, the smartphone platform to sharpen and future investment. Nokia with the Microsoft ecosystem is optimistic will be able to achieve that goal.

In short, Nokia decided Microsoft will become the main platform. What about Symbian, Nokia will be left? It seems that Nokia will not mencampakan granted. However Symbian still has a market. Currently there are around 200 million which brings the Symbian Nokia phones. Symbian market potential is still large, there are about 150 million units.

Nokia is still going to take care of MeeGo which will be developed as open source. Even Nokia makes the operating system in collaboration with Intel and AMD will become a long-term project to support development of devices, platforms and new experiences of new users. Nokia itself will release a gadget platform MeeGo.

There is then speculated that MeeGo will be the Nokia tablet platform. Moreover, it has been used in Fujitsu’s OS for netbooks and Nokia itself plans to release a tablet.

So, what would digaet Nokia from Microsoft? Nokia seem to be aware of changes in the cellular industry today. The main cellular players admit even this late in anticipation, so that the platform developed difficult to pursue open source platform that was booming at this time, including the synergy between a widespread application in the realm of open source.

Naturally, if through a partnership with Microsoft will happen differentiation and innovation. Thus, Nokia is able to do the optimization of hardware, platform customization, that the more extensive language support, as well as an increasingly large scale to the smartphone.

Nokia and Microsoft also will create synergy between applications. In this case the existing applications and content on Ovi Store – apparently, will be integrated into the Microsoft Marketplace. The goal, there is widespread market applications and content that has been developed through Ovi Store.

Nokia itself also will supply Microsoft Marketplace with applications and content. This is possible after Microsoft provides developer tools that will facilitate the development of content and applications at Nokia, to develop products compatible with the Microsoft platform.

While some smartphone platforms increasingly showing its dominance, Nokia have been the king of mobile phones even more dim. Nokia’s latest financial report published a few days ago also showed declining profits. In terms of brand, Nokia dropped dramatically to position 9.

What is it Nokia? Maybe that’s the right question. Almost no definitive answers to these questions. But recently a memo CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop circulating on the Internet provide some answers to that question.

In the memo, confirmed that Stephen Elop will maintain Symbian Nokia is not alone and will change its strategy. He said Nokia was on fire and should immediately jump to find survivors. He said that Nokia should develop or encourage the ecosystem that can compete or even join the existing ecosystem.

This led to speculation that Nokia may be holding the Microsoft. Steps taken by Nokia has begun to be kissed by the analysts of technology out there. Nokia reportedly will soon announce their agreement with Microsoft. Technology site Engadget hinted the deal would bring MicroKIA name, a combination of two names Microsoft, and NOKIA.

Many analysts expect Nokia previously reluctant to use Android, so most likely will work together to produce smartphones based on Windows Phone 7. The deal makes sense because the current CEO Stephen Elop Nokia is a former Microsoft executive. Now with the adoption of Windows 7 Phone Nokia no longer means running with Nokia platforms have been the mainstay.

This cooperation appears it will benefit both parties. However, the biggest sacrifice is on Nokia. They must be willing to burn their own platform which is still widely used by consumers to join Microsoft. For Microsoft, the arrival of Nokia would like to obtain windfall for Nokia with a magnitude in the realm of mobile phone is guaranteed.

Let’s see the announcement of cooperation whether it will really happen on Friday (02/11/2011) in London, when Nokia will report its strategy the company or if not in the arena of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2011 in Barcelona the middle of this month.
