Going the Android route now has no chance of saving Nokia - primarily because they lost too many customers to Samsung, HTC and Sony that are already content with their Androids. Also, they laid off a lot of talent so it's questionable even if they have the manpower to make such a switch at this point even if money and time were not a problem. They just cannot afford another strategy shift, it's WP or bust now, with the latter being far more likely outcome.

Really!? I'm willing to bet that after tomorrow's announcement the stock price will plummet another 15-20%, but that will be nothing compared to the decline that is to follow once they release the Q3 profit warning. If they are smart, they'll strongly hint on it tomorrow, and have ~5% more stock price drop immediately, than to wait for another month and have probably 30%+ drop landing them bellow the $1 mark and probably expelling themselves from NYSE.

The only possibility for Nokia stock price to grow significantly this year is if there is a bidding war for a buyout. With their current operations and products they just don't present a viable business and the large investors are not dumb to gamble to rise their stock price.
