Nokia were far too slow on jumping on the smartphone bandwagon. Their symbian platform just didn't deliver enough, and what it did deliver, it delivered far too late. Microsoft also were late to the mobile OS game, spotted an opportunity, and threw a LOT of money Nokia's way for a deal that is beneficial to both companies. (since they are both foundering currently in the exploding smartphone market)
RIP symbian (and MeeGo for that matter. Not that many folks, or as many as would otherwise, will buy this since it's already a dead platform before it even goes on sale) I too would have liked to see a Nokia Android phone but with Microsoft's involvement, this is patently not going to happen now.
Let's not forget that Nokia still hold the vast majority of market share of non-smartphones
I feel sorry for their developers though, since loads of them will be made redundant.
