" The only question about the Finland-based company is whether a buyer would maintain the Microsoft relationship or change to the popular Android OS to power Nokia phones." Actually, if Nokia had just entered the Android platform instead of Windows, and kept some of their massive R&D fundings, I think Nokia could have worked wonders to reshape Android even against Google's wishes. First thing would be to bring Qt, right? I'm still troubled by the announcement that they'd not bring Qt to Windows Phone (even if it's already partially there). It's clearly to not ruffle feathers. Nokia needs to ruffle feathers. Disrupt.
