Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop said the company would remain focused on using
Microsoft's
Windows Phone software to compete with smartphone rivals such as
Samsung.
Nokia's
first-quarter results showed incremental gains in sales of Lumia
smartphones which use Windows software, while sales of its basic phones -
traditionally Nokia's strong point - plunged. That prompted speculation
the company may need to adopt a new strategy.
"We make adjustments as we go. But it's very clear to
us that in today's war of ecosystems, we've made a very clear decisions
to focus on
Windows Phone
with our Lumia product line. And it is with that that we will compete
with competitors like Samsung and Android," Elop told reporters ahead of
a shareholders' meeting.
