Last fiscal year, Nokia spent almost $4B on research. It's almost incomprehensible that they couldn't get an OS built on linux and QT out the door with that kind of funding. If Nokia believed it was truly incapable of getting this done, they should have joined the OHA and rolled their own Android build, substituting OVI services for Google's. Or perhaps throwing all of their weight behind Symbian. I could be wrong, but I don't think this partnership is going to stop the decline of Nokia.
