Of course there are reason they shouldn't do an Android phone. Being (more or less) exclusively WP is worth a lot when negotiating with Microsoft. Also, having one OS instead of several makes marketing a lot easier.
(I know they still have Symbian, but AFAIK it doesn't sell significantly in the western markets and I don't think Microsoft sees it as a threat to WP).

Let me select Windows or Android when I boot the phone for the first time. Add in an option for a simplified granny mode. This would allow the marketing to focus on the actual hardware which is Nokia's strength and make them uniquely different to Samsung and Apple.
- manojlds 14y agoMS is a dangerous bed-mate. Nokia can market and build a brand on, say, Lumias, rather than the OS. A Nokia made Android phone will make a whole lot of people happy and will generate a huge demand.
- cpeterso 14y agoIs Nokia still selling Symbian phones? Their Series 40 feature phones are still popular in developing markets, but they are not running the Symbian OS.
