Why would anyone then settle to have Android-phone, when (s)he could have both worlds at the same time (and without rebooting as with N900 NITroid/Maemo)?

Unless the experience is inferior or somehow limited, google (and allies) will not let it happen.

The worst scenario is if Nokia drops MeeGo and takes Windows7 to mobile phones. Windows7 hasn't succeeded even now, so hardly having "nokia" printed on the device would help the matter.

I think for a VAST majority of Nokia customers, it's the brand that matters. They buy NOKIAs. They don't look for 'Symbian' handsets, and most of them have probably not heard of Symbian before.

So if Nokia takes up MS' offer (and I'm sure there IS one on the table right now), they can just sell them as Nokia smartphones (Now powered by WP7!) and the Nokia sheeps (yeah) will buy it.
