"LONDON (Reuters) - British mobile phone maker Sendo said on Thursday it had abandoned a long-awaited Microsoft-based phone and chosen to go with Nokia (news - web sites)'s rival software instead. Despite having been one of the launching partners for the Microsoft Smartphone program, Chief Executive Hugh Brogan said Sendo had given up on the Z100 Smartphone, which had been due for launch within weeks. "There will not be products based on Microsoft. There is not going to be a Z100," Brogan said." One if the reasons was the ability to customize the phone. "Brogan said one reason for the switch was that Sendo could get access to the source code for Nokia software, and therefore customize products. It could not do that with Microsoft." This can't be good for Microsoft. The Smartphone 2002 platform has been delayed quite a few times and was nearing launch in the next few weeks. Yahoo has more info here.
