          Nokia can comeback if they start make phones with Android and MeeGo or even Android and Windows Phone. Only a fool would choose to only system WP in those years. Very well-known brand and a rapidly growing Android..Nokia can make much faster good phones, no need to wait for udates Windows Phone, why they show so late 1520 or 1020 ? The reason was lack WP, many things they upgrade after three years. Look at it more objectively, if small companies like Alcatel can make phones with Android, if ZTE can sell phones outside Asia, then Nokia with her one of the best brand in the manufacturer of consumer goods in the world, great experience and knowledge could easily be the second, third manufacturer in Android, they can stay in the game, Nokia can be best opponent for Samsung ( especiallyafter Google buy Motorola).
          There is one more very important reason, people who loves Nokia and leave her for Android devices, they cant comeback to Nokia with Windows Phone, is totally different philosophy, many people wait for Nokia devices with something like Symbian Belle but around 1-2 earlier, wait patiently for many low/mid/high end Nokia devices with Android. But they must do it at the latest 2010-11, maybe 2012. So Elop and Nokia know about selling phone part of Nokia when he join or he really should have charge of committing wilful acts to the detriment of a company ?!
