I cannot see this in a thousand years.

This is Eldar pulling the chain of all the blinkered American "tech" blogs who cannot understand, see, or believe in anything that did not originate in the USA. Therefore, the concept of dumping a OS such as Android or WP7 on nokia hardware gets those blogs creaming with excitement, because they do not understand Nokia's ideas.

Apart from anything else Nokia has been investing heavily in services over the last few years, such as Ovi music, Maps, etc. The future profits lies in those services, and not hardware or OS, as they are both becoming commoditised as the PC market has done.

Just look at the range and variations within the Symbian phones to see what I mean. Nokia can churn them out cheap and with countless small variations. That is a massive plus as it enables Nokia to tailor phones for every corner of the world. With the services and OS, Nokia is taking on Google/Microsoft, and HTC with the hardware. Nokia are playing a long game.

Quite aside from the fact that symbian3 has just been launched on phones in the last few months, and Meego is just around the corner in 2011. I think 2011 will be a milestone year for Nokia if they get it right, which I think they will.
