Micromax Opting Windows Mobile Os for Next Big Smartphones

Here is what the Micromax co founder has to say

"Do you think Nokia’s sale to Microsoft has had any impact on players like yourself? Are you planning to make Windows smartphones sometime in the future?"

It has been good for us because they have chosen to stick to the Windows operating system. Had they chosen Android, it would have been a threat for us. But now we’re certain that they will not look at Android, which means lesser competition for us. We are working on a Windows phone and you might see something from us around mid of next year."

From above statements it clear that they are working on it.But the question is how,when and what they will bring up in this and we all know Micromax always keeps their price tag low .So,this might be a great chance for all those wondering to buy a windows phone at low price with good features .
