Nokia would ideally like to have an iOS of its own, either proprietary to Nokia phones or offered to other manufacturers but controlled (to whatever extent) by Nokia. Failing that, it would at least like to be "suited" again the next time it chooses a smartphone OS in a few years. Throwing its weight behind Android would make Android the de-facto standard, and that would probably close off those possibilities. (Though Android can likely make it to de-facto standard status without Nokia's help.)
