Not sure if even that would work anymore.

Pretty soon Android will scale down nicely to where S40/Asha/WhatEverItsCalledTheseDays is. It already sort of does, but those low end Androids still suck quite badly. Give it a year or two and ARM-hardware will run Android good enough even in the low end.

Nokia should just:

A) Sell branding rights for generic Android-hardware from Chinese OEMs with it's logo. Collect franchising revenue from those manufacturers.
B) continue collecting patent and IP related income.
C) fire anyone who isn't involved A. or B. Not that they have that many of those people left anyway.
