If the 1020 was an Android phone, you are right, we would not be having this conversation.
If Nokia were an Android vendor, who knows whether they would be like Samsung or more like HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola. By Q3, I expect Nokia will be selling smartphones in the 9 million range, comparable to all vendors except Apple and Samsung. Among those also rans, who would you rather be? A differentiated OEM with control over their underlying OS and a chance to build a business around WP, or yet another Android vendor? I don't imagine Elop is envious of his counterparts at HTC, LG, or Sony. |
