plan A:nokia+android plan B:nokia+microsoft what about plan C or even plan D?
plan A is definitely not a smart move coz there are plenty of player in the market.plan B,yeah,nokia probably will dominant the pizza(WP7) market but look at 10 devices launched at past few months ago,total 2million sales.its even lower than a single phone powered by symbian 3,N8.
y not plan C?since symbian is very mature OS,why not continue their investment by modifying it to be more user friendly,fix some bugs and it just need a little bit improvement.symbian major problem is UI.their UI is very not user friendly compared to android,iOS and WP7.second problem,default browser,nokia/symbian have noticed the problem of browser and they promise will launch an update on the future for new browser.
look at symbian pros and cons compared to the other OS.(i point out the major factor only)
Pros
1.bluetooth is easiest to use
2.Ovi Maps and Garmin support which is the best gps software
3.plug and play,connect to pc,laptop,other electronic device is easy,fast and no need any software to sync(i feel annoying when i use sgs,iphone)
Cons
1.lousy UI which is not suitable for finger use.very not user friendly
2.internet browser is problematic,old,not user friendly as well.browser crash always happen
3.a lot of bugs waiting to fix..
so now they are adopting WP7 and abandoning symbian 3?such a giant like Nokia never keep their word?updates?besides that,i don't understand y they burning so much money in investing symbian,meego,qt in the past and now they just abandoned it by switching to another platform.it doesn't make sense.
Plan C is down trending. No business will continue selling something which is not going to sell. No business is going to spend on R&D for something which is not going sell. Things like OVI, plug and play etc will eventually be transferred to WP7. Don't you think so?

@ViRaViRa, you forgot to factor in one condition: you're in desperate need to regain market dominance, and your store has shareholders. You have invested too much in sushi (analog for symbian). While you're still formulating the 'perfect' pizza, your investors are not earning any money (you tell them you will stop selling sushi, and WILL BE SELLING pizza, means you in R&D now, not earning any money).
You tell them your pizza will work, but other stores that sell both burger and pizza give feedback that pizzas are not selling well. Shareholders lari. Left you and the pizza distributor. Pizza distributor might be distributing other products too, so they can survive. But you can't, coz your stall is ALL IN in the pizza business.
Pizza is already formulated by Microsoft. Perfection doesn't exist in this business. Recipe is already there, so R&D is minimum. Shareholders will also leave if sushi doesn't do well. The difference is whether now or in next few months.
Other stores concentrate more on burger compared to pizza. People are bored eating the same pizzas in those shops (same old model, all same "recipe"). They don't give feedback that pizzas are NOT SELLING WELL. They are just saying that burgers sell more than pizzas; and they continue selling more burger. Share holders lari or not, it depends on how the pizza sells. Like mentioned above, pizza still sells but just not as many as burgers.

It is not really a good analogy!
Anyway hope NoWin dun end up like Shakey Pizza! Anyway I hardly eat pizza!
Explain why. You don't have a reason to say that Nokia will end up like shakeys pizza unless :
1) you have a good reason which supersedes my reasoning.
2) you can predict future.
p/s : I see that Shakeys pizza is doing good too

+5.
+100.
Nokia is taking a huge gamble about this step. New things surely being hammered by critics until they prove that they can bear good fruits, then it will silenced by the success.
I really hope that Microsoft can modify the WP7 radically.
They have to gamble, for the reasons I've mentioned above in my scenario. Business is all about trying out something new to succeed. It may fail but if it did not? Imagine where will it be then
