I'm not denying NOKIA had problems, ugly outdated hardware with slow processors, tiny droplets of RAM and no gpu but their problems were not insurmountable until they exclusively adopted a third-party OS that had already failed in the market place.

Why will it do well? What's different to previous Lumias?

I also think the Ashas have a limited future but because of J2ME rather than S40. At this end of the market Meltemi/Qt (or even Symbian) would have been a better solution than Android though.
