Exactly my point, instead of Nokia putting up at least one android device, they go ahead to sing deals with microsoft for the windows mobile platform, (the origins of the new nokia CEO might give you a hint...). Actually the first devices out of this union are under development. But i still think the android juggernaut will be too much for them in the long run. Its better to have a device on both platforms and see the market response, no?
@Kinuthia, Nokia just partnered with Microsoft... I don't see them going Android, maybe Windows Mobile. Either way Symbian is now the past or in the process of becoming (the past).--

The marvel here for me is where these two sytems are coming from. iPhone OS, from the mighty Apple, sleek designs, runaway success, alleged immunity from viruses and malware etc etc, clearly the undisputed leader in the exclusive smartphone segment. Then look at Android, two yrs ago how many people would have given it a second look as a smartphone OS....first of all, open source ,who wants to try such unknowns in a cutthroat competition? But today Android is the bomb, so much so that even Nokia will soon be seeing the error of their ways and unleash an Android device in the not so distant future....those are my prophecies, just watch that space...

example on the PC market, they compare Dell & HP and the likes and at
the same time compare Windows, Linux & the likes. The only thing these
comparisons don't actually do is compare Apple, Motorola, Nokia,
Samsung & the likes since we know the agenda they are pushing - to
tell you that they have beaten Apple since its the dorminant player
right now.
