Now that I think about this, I think Nokia made the right choice going with Windows Phone.
Back in early 2011 when this decision is made, they were already late to the Android party and had a choice of being servant in heaven or a king in hell... They chose to rule the wasteland and are now by far the market leader on Windows Phone. Of course the 1 billion dollars per year Microsoft gave them made it a no contest. They would have to sell over 10 million high end Android Lumia's to make 1 billion dollars profit.
The fact they are profitable already and Windows Phone hasn't even taken off is a good sign. Even if in a few years time WP tops out at 10% smartphone marketshare which I think is highly possible...7% will be Nokia's.
It's still a gamble that could backfire, if Microsoft ditches the mobile business entirely or pulls some other crap like goes Android themselves lol.
