Don’t get too excited (like some other blogs..). According to Cnet’s Ina Fried, Microsoft and Nokia are planning a joint press conference tomorrow at 8 am in New York to announce an Office Mobile deal (I’m betting on web-based Office). Redmond and Nokia have already struck a couple deals in the past like an ActiveSync/exchange support deal, then a deal to include Windows Live into Nokia’s phones and more recently one for Silverlight mobile support in future Nokia handsets. The announcement is to be made by Stephen Elop, head of Microsoft’s Business Division, which makes the Office suite of applications, and Kai Oistamo, executive vice president of Nokia Devices. Sorry guys, no Nokia Windows Phones.

Stay tuned…
