There is no plan B for Nokia. It's too late for that. If W8 fails then Nokia fails. Even switching to Android wouldn't help much since it needs time to be modified to look more Nokia like. They made the worst mistake they could in 2009 by not improving Maemo5 and setting it with the highend devices. Maemo5 needed a little more fluidity and a little better telephony to rock this world. Add to this Symbian in the middle and S40 as low end. Nobody would be able to beat that combination. Now imagine middle 2010 or early 2011, Nokia introduces tablets based on Maemo5. Have you seen a better OS for tablets? I haven't. Even now Android 3 and 4 for tablets reminds sometimes of Maemo5 but it's multitasking is a joke. A pathetic joke. We're in the middle of 2011 now, Nokia N9 is out. Everyone is amazed by the swipe UI, but there are not enough apps for it. Nokia realizes that and makes something like alien dalvik to port apps from Android to Maemo6. Nokia's on top again. 2012, first Pureview phone is out, next boom in the phone market. Then first dual core Meego phones are released. UI has no hiccups whatsoever, app store is full of apps, symbian is being slowly ditched away to make place for Meego only. Meltemi is getting ready for launch to replace S40. During that moment Nokia while still being on top has a lot of cash so they hire 10 000 people to work on new kind of batteries, in a year time Nokia phones will last 7days without charging and pureview will be minimized so it can fit in a 12mm thick body. Nokia has: best OS, best camera, the biggest amount of apps, best batteries. Now how can you beat that? No way. But it's already way to late.
