This will be a very niche market, but will appeal to those with large amounts of money who remember the days when a mobile just made calls and texted.

No. There are far too many makers of Android handsets that only a few will ever make substantial profit from it. And Symbian is far from ugly, its just been neglected for years unfortunately. Its quite a useful OS. And as for WP... its far from obsolete... Small market share - yes. But not obsolete. Heck - its new from the ground up over its predecessor.

Android on Vertu... Sounds like a good combination. It will never occur when it belongs to Nokia.

Nokia would be the best if they will embrace Android OS on their nice and user-friendly mobile phones. Symbian is ugly and WP is obsolete!

Permira will buy Vertu and I bet the new model will use Android :-)
