You've got to kid me by saying Android stocks the best apps, all in all.

                      Nokia should adopt android os or it can make jolla sailfish os phones (earlier meego owned by nokia) as it supports android apps. And games too.

                            Live wallpapers are cool, it's a customization but it doesn't really help in saving battery, it does the exact opposite. Some live wallpapers even requests for phone calls permission.
                            You can use many launchers to change the look of your device but what if you've 512 MB RAM? It will just slow down the OS. No better optimization.
                            You can select any browser as your default one, well that's cool but most of them keeps running in the background even after quitting the browser, thus eating battery.
                            Lots of widgets is cool but it keeps running in the background, affecting user experience.
                            You can use another keyboard app if the default one isn't enough for you. It's cool.
                            Lots of notification toggles. It's cool.
                            Can you install themes like in Symbian on Android? Nope.
                            Android has cool customization but optimization of the OS is where it's weak.

                              Current Nokia and Windows Phone users would probably be against this but I'd like to see Nokia make devices running Android in the near future. I like Nokia's designs and build qualities and if they're able to deliver that with high-end specifications then they'd be right up there with Samsung. If this does happen, I can't wait to see what their UI would look like but if they can make it as nice as HTC's (or hopefully even better) then it will be a winner!

                                    The question for Nokia is whether their bottom line is better with offering also Android than getting compensated by MS for carrying only Windows. The answer appears to be no. In fact, perhaps it is instead MS that would like to cancel the partnership if it could save that compensation.
                                    The trouble with MS is that it's never first with anything and therefore relegated to catchup at extra costs such as with the XBox. (Is that what Bill G. was thinking of when he recently called MS a well managed company?)
                                    With unified Windows MS is betting on people's willingness to pay extra in order to have the same OS on their phone as on their PC and tablet. It'll probably work to some degree. But not until people have upgraded/renewed their PC and tablet.

                                      well everybody knows what is wrong with Nokia except Nokia itself. Is that something to do with Mr Flop, the CEO or is there something wrong with my spelling. oops
