Exchange 'Apple' for 'NOKIA' and 'iOS' for 'Symbian', and your comment still works.

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

The more I think about it the less I understand what Elop is talking about. Catalyzing and joining ecosystems, and Nokia needs to change faster. Nokia needs to continue with Ovi, Symbian, MeeGo and Qt, and they need to execute faster and better. Maybe the whole thing here is that Elop has lost it, or he has never gotten it in the first place. This seems more likely than anything else at the moment.

Maemo wasn't exactly heavily marketed by Nokia, and they haven't yet released a Meego phone, so arguably a Meego phone (or maybe two) will mark a change for Nokia particularly if they heavily market it as their flagship device. And "catalysing and joining ecosystems" could be executive speak for pushing Qt and making cross-platform (Symbian + Meego) development easy.

It looks like Nokia/MS have already started developing SW for Nokia phones, what's the betting that Elope going to announce an even bigger tie up of some kind on Friday?

Microsoft isn't known for throwing their own struggling products aside to jump on the opportunity to ride competitors' coattails. To do that would leave them vulnerable to the whims of others. Instead, they use their size to let them ride out failure while they rebuild their product into something that lets them control the market top to bottom.
