I wouldn't put much faith in GSMArena dong anything more than adding speculation to the original story.
the Finnish article I read said he was very cagey about giving any answer when pressed on the topic.
I'd like to see GSMArena post a link to the section of the interview....

Listen up children. Case is closed. Android is Plan B:
Nokia Plan B
I mean, it's obvious. There are no other alternatives.
Update: original source apparently. Maybe some Fins can translate for us?
That's my quick and overall translation from the video.

The facts are that besides ios and android, there is only windows left to jump on. Nokia wants to be known as the windows phone, just like Samsung is known as the android phone. Makes business sense. Meego and symbian can not compete with the big boys. In UK, operators don't want 808 because it's Symbian. Nokia made the right decision out of all the bad choices they had.

On one of their "Five Businesses"
Nokia needs to step up its location based services in the US, even on the LUMIA/WP7. I think the rest of the world they do fine. Maps here are outdated and POIs merely a quarter of what Google reports.

The way you try to turn it upside down is ridiculous, in January 2011 every UK carrier was offering Symbian phones.
I've read T-Mobile in Germany have now dropped WP7, I wouldn't be surprised to see UK carriers follow suit there too.

Apple got AT&T what Nokia couldnt, mass consumption of Cellular DATA.

As it happends, Android is soon spread so thin due to fragmentation, it is no longer sustainable. But Android and Maemo would be a fine combination.
