I think the biggest problem is that they charge for their operating system, which is fine for the Lumia 920, but isn't practical on low end phones where Nokia actually still has some market share. Or at least not practical at the rates Nokia is obliged to pay.

I think that was bad for Microsoft and Nokia, and indicative of old school desktop thinking on Microsoft's part.
