Looking over your shoulder or looking foward is a choice Nokia has made. Adopting Android, and all the constraints, both in design and software implementation, that will bring is looking over their shoulder. Adopting MeeGo is looking forward.

Many of the complaints some people have about Symbian^1 are true also for Android. It is slow, quirky, inconsistent. This is the way forward? There is a reason 7/8 of the people buying smartphones do not choose Android.

Control of the OS is paramount to offering unique devices. Apple understands this. Nokia understands this. The tight integration between OS and device is what makes the iPhone4 such a sought after device by people who do not feel a need to tinker with their phones. MeeGo can have the possibility of offering that same tight integration and the ability to "look under the hood". Android, by design, offers a commonality among devices.

Going Android gives control to Google. Going MeeGo gives control to Nokia. Who has the deepest experience in buidling phones?
