Microsoft might be killing off Nokia’s featurephones and Android handsets, but the company is keeping the very basic Nokia phones alive. In an interview with Recode, Microsoft’s Jo Harlow says the company is sticking with its basic cellphones. Microsoft doesn’t have any other project that can reach these consumers, explains Harlow. Despite its latest Nokia 103 handset lacking internet connectivity, Harlow believes these consumers will create a Microsoft account and become part of the Microsoft ecosystem. That’s the same line Microsoft used to justify the existence of Nokia’s X Android phones, at least until the company killed them off post-acquisition.
