MINYANVILLE's take on who they should buy:

Four Hot Microsoft Rumors, and Fresh Info About Google's Latest Project

3. Microsoft doesn’t want to buy Nokia, but it will anyway.
Earlier this week, various tech outlets featured a story by The Register that stated that Microsoft had been considering a buyout of Nokia in late 2011, but promptly bailed upon learning the dire situation of the target’s finances. Added on to the disproved rumors from last Friday of a purchase by rival Samsung (SSU.SG), we might expect a good deal of uncertainty in Nokia’s future.

It now appears, however, that while Microsoft may have preferred to keep things casual, it has bought so much Nokia milk that it may be forced to buy the telecom cow as well. Considering all the Nokia technology wrapped up in Windows Phone 8, trouble for the Finnish firm could risk the viability of the device. To ensure the stability of its new mobile phone, Microsoft may find a buyout to be the safest option after all.
