Microsoft reveals new Windows Phone hardware partners

Just when we thought Nokia was the only Windows Phone hardware maker left, Microsoft has announced a bevy of hardware partners slated to make new handsets in time for Windows Phone 8.1 this Spring which is really Windows Phone 9 if you consider the massive list of new features and upgrades. Aside from Nokia, HTC and Samsung (the last two which were the last non-Nokia makers to release WP devices), we see Lenovo, Huawei, LG, ZTE, Foxconn, Longcheer and a few other brands I've honestly never heard of. 

Microsoft VP Nick Parker says, "we're open for business on Windows Phone to anyone who wants to build one." Great for consumers who now have some choice to look forward to in the Windows Phone space.
