Recently, Nokia put an end to the rumors, which said that it is set to join with the Open Handset Alliance and launch an Android phone.

The industry insiders, who said that the new device will be rolled at the Nokia World event in Germany in September, were cited by the Guardian. 

However, Nokia clarified: “There is no truth to this story whatsoever. It is a well known fact that Symbian is our platform of choice for smartphones.”

Under the conditions where Nokia owns the Symbian Foundation (makers of the Symbian Mobile OS), it would have been quite a departure from usual business, for Nokia to bring such a device. 

It won’t be wrong to say that Nokia would have placed Google Market in direct competition with the recently released Ovi Store, if Nokia had moved to Android.
