          You don't have to be an analyst to see that. Back in the days Nokia was the s*#t, now with windows Nokia is just s*#t. But with android they can make a great comeback

            Nokia phones have many good points such as pure view 41MP Camera , Clearblack display especially its durability . . . ,it will be great if Nokia has both Android and Window OS. from Nokia lover.

              But either way Nokia makes amazing phones and I love specs and am one to fight that they are important...But as well are not fully everything.

              I think they would make an amazing Android. I honestly do not understand why they didn't. They should know millions of people would go crazy over a Nokia Android flagship. Even a mid ranger.

                Even analysts troll, sometimes (many times, actually).

                If this so-called 'analyst' ever did any research, he would know that Nokia can exclusively ship WP smartphones until 2016, by the 2011 agreement with MS. The fact that he has no idea of this contract shows he's just either trolling or unworthy of his position.

                      Instead of jumping to Android, Nokia should retrieve Meego or Symbian OS. There are already many OEM's launching Android OS. Only one OS (Windows) can't help them to survive in long term.

                        To compete against the new Samsung Galaxy S 4, Note III, Sony Honami? Remember that the Android phones have custom UIs on top of the normal OS. Nokia does not have any customisation for the WP OS. If they want to go to Android, they need to employ experienced software developers for that, and on top of that they will have to build the UI from scratch, while the others reuse most of the UI from older phones. Nope, it's already too late for Nokia!

Their Symbian phones were proof to that. Nokia would lose in the specs race to Samsung. Nokia's main selling points are camera, design and quality, not specs.

                                  It may start a new product range with Android along with existing Lumia range.
