Rather than that, it just open Nokia up for countless possibilities.

This is just the first step forward. Whether or not WP7 or WP8 deliver what Nokia want is unknown. They can end the alliance anytime and switch to Android or whatsoever open source.

Besides, given Nokia progress over the last 5 years, they have nothing to lose really. They will need to find the magic formulae to get customers to look at their offering again. Why did Samsung gain so much popularity with Android? They were nobody at one point. SE was damn popular with their P series and now what. Not many want to buy their smartphones.

Nokia is infested with Microsoft. A majority of people on the Lumia 800 team are from Microsoft (not to mention even the CEO, Stephen Elop was ex-MS). It's a matter of time before Nokia gets bought over by MS.

Therefore, there's no way Nokia will go back and pick to adopt another smartphone OS. Android is out of the picture. Stephen Elop basically rejected Android outright when asked about the reason they did not go with Android but instead adopted WP7. Going back to Android will be 2 slaps to the face.

Unless Nokia fires Stephen Elop. Then a Nokia Android will still have hope.

It's pathetic seeing Nokia in that Lumia 800 design story video. <Starcraft analogy>Like an infested Marine, talking with no soul, only the words of the Overlord.</Starcraft analogy>

It doesn't have to be. But with the hardware complaints about Android's OEMs, it's almost guaranteed that a Nokia Android will dominate sales. Of course we all know what happened to that possibility.

Hardware complaints? Such as being too fast? LOL... Nokia still stucked with ARM11 goes to Android for a laugh, is it?

lol Technical specs aside, there's a certain flimsy feel about Android phones. So far I have yet to play with one that has a good hardware build. They are always awesome at something, and sucky at other. If an Android looks good, there must be something wrong with it.

Take the S2. The specs is out of this world. But hold it and immediately it gives you a 'cheap' feel.
What about the SE Arc? It looks pretty. But inside it's RAM is just enough to support basic operations.

Well this is not an Android thread. So I think I should stop here. Just adding my 2 cents about the Nokia Android thing.
