The upcoming Nokia Normandy could very well be an Android smartphone headed for the lower cost Asha line. While hardware tech specs are not available yet, reports indicate that it may be using a forked version of Android that won't use Google Services. Perhaps, Nokia will incorporate their own services instead or perhaps some of Microsoft's but doing so would still allow for full smartphone apps. While it has been leaked by serial leaker evleaks, there is still no news when or for how much the Normandy could arrive in Malaysia. Microsoft could just as easily shut this move down and implement a free version of Windows Phone instead so stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
