If Nokia's going to continue to exist they need to sell phones. Windows phones aren't selling. An Android one might. They have to take the shot.
Giving away Windows Phone/RT might encourage other hardware vendors to try it. Maybe they won't. But they definitely won't if Microsoft tries to charge them for it. Again, worth the shot when they have nothing to lose. It might be crazy if Windows Phone/RT were runaway successes, but they aren't.
Windows 8 is also a huge failure. Trying to go back and make it more like 7, which most people continue to prefer, is probably for the best.

According to new data from Counterpoint Research, Nokia’s share of the American smartphone market has surged from a mere 1.4% in the second quarter of 2013 to 4.1% in the third quarter. http://bgr.com/2013/11/01/nokia-us-smartphone-market-share/ http://bgr.com/2013/11/01/nokia-us-smartphone-market-share/
