    East or West , India is the best. Even with so many problems and evils like corruption , India is developing at a rate which is enviable to most of the countries in the world. Let's be positive. The new goverrment after this elections would surely be investment and corporate friendly and work out a better solution :)

        Simple... MS will shift as much volume as possible to the brand new plant in Vietnam... and Nokia will simply close down or sell the factory and let Nokia India as an individual business entity go bankrupt... and then tell this corrupt government to f@#k themselves

So greedy about a few million dollar tax wha... moreYeah sure when your Indian government asking Nokia illegal tax just so that the corrupt politician can get fat paycheck and get even more richer while doing nothing to help the country prosper. It's no wonder why that the other foreign company could not do business in India because of corrupt government and illiterate politicians.

But the thing that what non android manufacturers are facing is cost of producing phones where they have to develop there OSs or buy. Android users find it cheap just to only bake it. Android manufacturers are able to manufacture a phone that is relatively cheaper and capable of doing even better than non android phones. Because of this, non android manufacturers' sells turnovers are low. Think of blackberry, it was almost sold. Do you know the reason? Apple may survive because they able to manufacture other electronic gadgets. if you compare the market share of iphones in the last 4 years and now you will notice a decline in there market share.

                              But let me tell u guys nokia is dead because of it's arrogance attitude....

                              just look at phones it has manufacture with the almost same screen size,low rams and limited specification phone in diffent models.

                              Just look at all Lumia series,Xpress music series and E series almost all r same with sligth small change in specifisction and price would b huge for the each of it's phones.

                              Times keep on changing nokia should have understood the need of the todays generation...

At least in USA you don't have to pay bribes for simple things like getting a driver's license or trying to get your electricity connected.
