Can you think of a single benefit Nokia get by being tied to Microsoft? No. Because... We learned that Nokia Lumia series has 13 systematic faults why it fails in all markets including the USA. We learned that the Lumia series has 101 faults when used by loyal Nokia smartphone owners (now with more Lumia! upgraded to 121 faults, get yours today!). And what does that mean? It means that the Lumia series has the biggest return rates of any Nokia smartphone ever released. The stores refuse to sell the Lumia. The very latest Kantar statistics now in August 2012 tell us that for every 5 existing Nokia Symbian customers in Europe, 4 will rather buy any rival smartphone than take the Lumia. And that the independent survey of Lumia owners by Yankee Group found that of Lumia owners in the USA, 4 out of 10 rate the Lumia as literally the worst phone possible (rating it a 1 out of 5 where 1 is worst and 5 is best). - Communities Dominate Brands: Failure Version 2: Nokia Lumia Relaunch with Windows Phone 8 is Also a Total Dud (Updated)

Can you think of a single benefit Nokia get by being tied to Microsoft? Avoiding Android where Samsung is taking all the share? At least with WP8 they have a shot at being the top dog in that ecosystem. With Android they'll always be a step behind Samsung and now Moto, owned by Google. It's not a pleasant choice; two things have to go right. WP8 has to sell well, and Nokia has to win against the others starting at zero. But I think it's better than trying to climb out of the Android hole from zero market share.
