It's a myth that if Nokia made a high-end Android phone now/recently they would have gained a massive user base. If it was so "certain" that every commentator makes it out to be, they certainly would have tried by now.
And yes, they are too late. They were doing their thing, and suddenly iOS and Android happened. But WHEN they decided to go down the MS road, they were already too late for Android. They would have ended fighting for the scraps, as you call it. At least now, they have a differentiating factor to them.

No, it's speculation. >> If it was so "certain" that every commentator makes it out to be, they certainly would have tried by now. This is far from certain, their leadership (since Stephen Elop came aboard) have been hell-bent on going MS exclusive, I doubt other options were even considered honestly. >> And yes, they are too late. They were doing their thing, and suddenly iOS and Android happened. But WHEN they decided to go down the MS road, they were already too late for Android. You underestimate the HUGE brand loyalty they had in the european market. >> At least now, they have a differentiating factor to them. And look where it's got them.
- maaaats 13y ago>> And look where it's got them. Well, compared to a lot of Android brands they are doing OK, I think. Android is all Samsung + a little bit Sony at the moment.
- Nursie 13y agoI kinda meant stock crash, major layoffs and sold to Microsoft.... But sure, Lumia might be doing better than some of the minor android players. Nokia had the potential to be a major player though. (IMHO, of course)
- maaaats 13y agoYes, that is true. They were too late from the very beginning in this era of smart phones.
