Fix MeeGo? They failed at it, that's why they had to switch. There was no way that the Symbian sales could be replaced. Android? HTCs profit's are falling at an alarming clip, Motorola was in losses and got taken over inspite of the flagship Droid, LG reported a loss of $250 million for 2011. Nokia isn't going anywhere, it was expected that the transition would be very tough, if things get really dire, expect a bailout/takeover from Microsoft.

True, MeeGo failed. I assume this was due to mismanagement and political problems at Nokia and Intel, since Nokia's phone based on MeeGo/Harmattan [0] was well received [1].
