Whether the news about Nokia dropping Android completely is good or bad depends on your perspective.

    Windows Phone Store doesnt have loads and loads of apps like Android has.

    Nokia and Microsft needs to include java feature in the next Windows Mobile 8.x Update soon!! Otherwise they wil loose out big time.

      I think the reason why Nokia is failing a bit is becuase of the Windows Phone Store has got loads of apps and there no java, these are biggest downfalls.

      Nokia and Microsoft needs to lots of new apps in the store and PUT JAVA !! So we can use apps that has animations and it can function properly.

      Dont understand all Nokia Lumia Models dont have Java its bad where as thought Android has. It really put me off.

      Im wondering is it becuase of the new technology html5 which has animation code languages that run webpages that have effects in new Internet Explorer 10+ Browsers, think that might be.

        Sorry about that second sentence in the first paragraph.

        What I meant was maybe we will see Nokia making new devices and put Android in Lumia & Asha Models and others put Windows Mobile 8.x OS, like Samsung did with thier Omnia series phones.

        Hopefully Nokia will be on top as sumsung are.

            What would it be like if Nokia was running android OS, will boost the profits and sales?

            It says somewhere on the article that Nokia was working on a few projects. Dont forget its only a rumur, maybe we could have Android running on Nokia devices and become popular as Samsung.

                    AnonD-196285, 16 Dec 2013MS is the reason they survived to this day actually. MS is the reason for Nokia's decline. MS sucked them dry, forcing them to kill all their projects, and use and promote instead an unwanted OS like WP. WP is a failure more than anything Nokia has ever done before. Even Nokia can't wait to get out of the MS deal and the only way for that is to sell out their mobile division to MS.

                              Love Nokia, love Android, hate Windows Phone.

                              I would have liked a Nokia running Android, but it was never meant to be. Nokia's loss is Samsung's gain.

                                Nokia will never work on Android. If nokia starts working on android and start selling their phones samsung and other companies will go down....
                                I like their Nokia phone design, they are good but windows software sucks.
