Seriously, Nokia's industrial design and supply chain + Android's apps would have been such a win. Strategy fail. http://bit.ly/17jKbYX
@Lessien not hindsight in these quarters. There are ways other than OS to differentiate. Nokia never differentiated on OS previously...

@monkbent Nokia didn't have to compete on OS prior to 2008. That lack of competence was part of their problem. Marketing also critical. -
@Lessien sure, but all the advantaged they built could have carried over onto Android. Thoughts on http://stratechery.com/2013/blackberry-and-nokias-fundamental-failing/ … ? -
@monkbent MSFT deal wasn't just about software. It came with a capital infusion. Given his options, Elop likely made a reasonable call. -
@Lessien yes, the capital infusion is a good point. Still, Nokia could have sold pieces... -
@monkbent The deal (from all appearances) is an exclusive one. So "Nokia could have sold pieces" of what? -
@Lessien pieces of the company, like Navteq for example -
@monkbent Which would have been foolish. Credit to Nokia execs for understanding that services are premium assets, and holding onto theirs. -
@Lessien that's a fair point
