> Nokia engineers wanted to move to Android
I don’t believe the engineers spent thousands man-years developing in-house Symbian, then significant time working on (mostly) in-house Maemo, then some day they said “screw that, let’s throw away everything we’ve developed and move to Android”.

Likely done by a completely different team vs. the Symbian people, though somone else probably knows more of those details. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_X_platform https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_X_platform
