So the deal that should have been done 2 years ago is at lastcompleted: Microsoft MSFT -6.17%is buying most of Nokia NOK +29.74% to take control of itssmartphone destiny. Despitesaying kind words about having other partners in Windows Phone, though, this move will effectively end the Windows Phone licensing business. It will position Microsoft as a clear number three in the smartphone wars, but with a difficult decision. In combining the operating system and hardware under one roof, Microsoft’s smartphone division now looks like its increasingly go-it-alone Windows RT group and more like Apple AAPL +1.31%. But unlike Apple, the phones Nokia has been successfully selling aren’t high-margin, high-priced models. And they aren’t selling to Microsoft’s corporate customers either. Microsoft claims they are now a “devices and services” company, but this is the least attractive part of the device business. And if it tempts Microsoft’s worst impluses about its services, helping the company sell more Windows Phone might ultimate thwart what should be its larger aims.
