This may sound weird and possibly make many of the android lovers happy. NewKia a new company was formed the day Microsoft, Nokia got together. Thomas Zilliacus, former CEO of Nokia came up with the NewKia idea, in fact he wanted to buy Nokia but couldn’t due to lack of funds.
According to Thomas Zilliacus many consumers are not happy with the Windows OS, moreover the number of Android users is multiplying as compared to that of Windows. Windows OS share is too small and this prevents many developers from developing their apps for the same.
He believes that Nokia has the best know how when it comes to Mobile technology and he wants to get in the best people to join NewKia. The idea is to use the Nokia technology and design / built the best smartphones, of course running on the Android OS.
To start with they would want to launch a new phone every year depending on funds and employee strength. In an interview with Zdnet, Zilliacus pointed out that in 2003, Nokia had a prototype that looked similar to the iPhone (this was 4 years before iPhone was launched). But that never happened just because Nokia thought that the market would reject the design, he still has the prototype in a drawer.
Well if the NewKia company could start-up we could see Nokia quality phones running Android OS, but will the brand matter?
Thank you for the tip – Amartya.B.

nokia+android sounds good. Nokia is a well known brand like samsung . I think newkia will be great.
my wait is over, i m waiting for nokia android smartphones its would killer than other smartphones. so thanks to nokia it will be responsible for customers coming a new choice with android os . bat rhi name ki chahe newkia ho its nokia friendsss connecting people .now is comptition time “nokia chak the phatte”.
All the best
How did this decision came from Nokia with no opposition from Microsoft? Microsoft and Nokia already had joined hands to have Windows in the
Nokia Lumia devices. It seems that eventually Nokia wants to join the Android smartphone market!
How can they (Newkia) get their hands on design capabilities and nokia technology when the devices devision of nokia is going to be sold to MS along with most of the Tech and Design patents.
And do u think MS will allow some Nokia rip off company to use the patented tech.
Also Jolla which consist of exNokia employees associated with Meego project. Any device from them is yet to be seen. So I seriously doubt if this Newkia will take off.
If they really wanna come up, the should rethink on the name. “Newkia” sounds like more like a Chinese firm which makes knock offs. I think “Kiano” is a good one, what do ya’ll say? 😉
around this times people we really saying NOKIA ko “NO” “KIA” now they should name it “YES” “KIA”
This december will end with a DHOOM for nokia lovers.
Yet another FLOP from nokia(newkia), nokia had neither best design phone nor best os yet
I believe if nokia adopted Android as its OS than Windows,it would have been revived itself just like samsung………..
Sad to know once world’s no. 1 mobile manufacturing company sold to Microsoft who is more responsibile for the present condition of Nokia, because of windows os
May be steve job got hand on that prototype.
Who knows
why dont someone actually port android on lumia device? is it that much difficult. only thing u need is drivers for nokias unbeatable hardware. and rest android os will handle.
porting android to wp8 is not possible…if wp8 runs on linux it will be possible….if you need android in nokia buy nokia n9 that runs on meego os based on linux for which developers ported android os
See the main difficulty is that Android runs on a Java Dalvik Virtual machine.And Nokia does not use the proprietary processor commands provided by Qualcomm they with the help of Microsoft write their own commands to optimize CPU usage and GPU usage so that they can get the most out of it(If you are wondering this is what Apple does with it’s chips too although they also make some hardware level changes in the GPU department adding custom commands to ARM processors another reason why their cores have to be made by Samsung they don’t use stock)
Back to the topic these instruction codes are proprietary and unless Nokia releases the drivers which they never do(Because the win8 is not under the open source Apache license) it is impossible for devs to port them.However HTC does release these codes the entire GIT actually and the drivers hence it ha been possible to port win phones to Android(check xda for further information on how to flash android on HTC win phones)
It will be a killer if released!
Well not by name ofcourse!
Same case as Jolla.
They should join hands with jolla
No no Meego bad like Firefox OS(No HTTP5 I like OpenGL)
Ubuntu and Android good….:P
welcome newkia…
no worry,, windows on phone was also gd goin… bt thing was abt variety of apps..
don’t know when the NO of nokia for android will end.
sincerely nokia&android fan
Nokia is set to be doomed. Welcome Newkia. Nice thought
wow now we will gonna get king of mobile with king of os
Bt really awesum thinking
Name seems stupid. They should consinder a different name.
Sounds grt
still they shld think abt branding themselves something else
Newkia sounds like a cheap chinese ripoff of nokia. :\
Really Exiting….!
Dont know if they make it in next year or ten..
Great news for Android lovers as well as Nokia lovers….This will be a sure “stand out”…no doubt…there are so many android users out there having nostalgic feelings about their old symbian nokia like me…Wonderful news for them…Its Party time..Eagerly waiting… 🙂
