Seriously, Nokia's industrial design and supply chain + Android's apps would have been such a win. Strategy fail. http://bit.ly/17jKbYX
@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
