It's easier to just forget this niche Nokia target and port my apps to Android and have all the benefits of a working store, huge userbase, nice application browser every single android user has installed, and nice web frontend. Even registration is cheaper ($25 AM < €50 OS).
Android has got its own share of warts. To begin with, it is a Java-only platform (their native APIs are rudimentary). Secondly, app stores are really bad for app distribution or sales, as they tend to only present the most popular apps to the user. The rest get buried down-list, never to be found by an average user. Thirdly, app stores give you smaller share of profit than credit card processors. And so forth.
