        I'm using N9 and very happy with MeeGo... why can't Nokia concede making a mistake and focus on wonderful MeeGo?

                        nokia can make it without android. if they are going to develop meego and symbian. symbian and WP is alot more stable than the laggy droid phones. and meego can emulate android apps. whats the use of jumping to a lower OS if they already have the best OSes around?

                            if nokia joins android then it's gonna be the end for samsung, htc and all others. The android pureview will be the long-awaited iPhone killer. But i wish that if nokia jumps on android, they dont drop nokia os and wp all together. After all, i still think that nokia has got the benjies to produce phones of all availabke oses... Nokia still got it. And when nokia get its act together samsung gs3 will just be a cheap plastic toy.

                              Focus at one OS will make a same mistake. The world is changing. It is more wise to full fill all market segment. At all around the world.

                                      If nokia choose android,nokia is the NO.1 ANDROID vendor and also become No.1 in smartphone and No.1 in total mobile shipments,because before lumia lunch wp market is dominated by htc&samsung,after lunch nokia became No.1 wp vendor with 87%.
                                      And another example is before lunch nokia dual sim in india,it was dominated by samsung,micromax,karbonn and gfive,after lunch nokia became No.1 in dual sim with 30%,samsung-16%,micromax-12%,gfive-7%.so fear rises to samsung because it cannot competete with nokia hardware and still it has large fanbase.goodbuy to samsung.

                                        I dont think nokia smartphone running android will beat samsung galaxy series... Samsung is way superior than other android smartphone manufacturing brand... They had to look for heavy hardwares to compete against samsung galaxy... N even samsung hav sum new cool apps in the new galaxy S3 which will be benefit for its upcoming new devices as they will be getting more n more new features in their new flagship... Whereas nokia will be completely new in the market n is in bottomline where as samsung is already on the top...
