Sorry and shame for Sony 'cause even with Android OS Sony can't sell like Samsung or HTC. Actually Nokia is doing good with Windows but if Nokia just make an Android Phone, even Samsung will be in trouble.

Their handset division hasn't maded any profits. Only NSN has been making profit for Nokia, that's why they wanted full control. So your logic is flawed.

            Sony did not, haha so they earn.

            Hope android makers realise this.

                            Although Sony was in a big trouble but it is growing very good , because of still great quality cuz Sony didn't lower the quality to make more profit.
