Stephen Elop has been answering questions at the Mobile World Congress conference call and one that caught our eye was one that many seem to be asking: The possibility of Microsoft buying Nokia.

Elop goes on to state that Nokia has three areas of business, the high-end smartphone arena in which Microsoft is now a partner and where we'll see Nokia Microsoft Smartphones. At the low end there is the 'Next Billion Devices' strategy about delivering internet services and low-cost tech into the emerging markets.

Then there is the middle ground, which he refers to as 'The Next Disruption', or 'what comes next, the future devices and user experiences'. While Nokia and Microsoft have a shared interest in the high-end devices market, they don't play in the low- or mid-range and this is where Nokia will be creating the greatest innovation.

He doesn't elaborate on what this entails, whether this is where he sees Symbian lying, where QT developers can make the most impact but it makes for an interesting talking point.
