This is probably for the best. Any Android phone without Google Play services (targeting a user base primarily in North America and Western Europe) is bound to be DOA. Minimal OS differentiation but a sizable gap in the app store when it comes to "must have" apps.

I should rephrase that to say that if the Android phone isn't in a market where local apps can possibly invalidate the need for the top tier apps in Google Play, for example Weibo in China, then the AOSP phone isn't going to fare well (I'm looking at you Amazon Fire Phone).
- Touche 12y agoThat's a lot of qualifiers and still doesn't have anything to do with these Nokia phones.
