BARCELONA, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) has no plans to use Microsoft's (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Windows Mobile operating system in its mobile devices, the head of the world's largest cellphone maker, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, said on Monday.

"We don't have plans to do Windows in mobile at the moment," Kallasvuo said.

Kallasvuo repeated Nokia would unveil a version of its own operating system, Symbian S60 touch-screen platform, in the second half of 2008.

Nokia rival Sony Ericsson (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) (ERICb.ST: Quote, Profile, Research) unveiled on Sunday its first cellphone powered by Microsoft's operating system, meaning all the world's top handset makers apart from Nokia will have Windows Mobile phones.
