My interpretation as to why they went with Windows Phone:
1. The $$$, it's hard to turn down more than $1 billion dollars in a year (and probably more per device sold). Just makes the stupid gamble harder to turn down.
2. Nokia can still go with Android at anytime (and maybe they will once their exclusivity contract ends with Microsoft).
- silvestrov 14y agoBut $1 billion isn't really that much money for a company of Nokia's size (122,148 employees) when the company goes into a tailspin. It's $8,187 per employee. That's 1-2 months of wages!
- PakG1 14y agoYes, but if all things are equal, it's still enough money to fund the development of a new phone. Now, the question is all things are equal.
