May I know what was their stupid marketing decision(s)?

Nokia still makes the best looking phones with best hardware and best quality control, combine that with Android and you have a company that would have long taken the lead in the mobile market.

Nokia make right decision by not getting android.And for service and support Nokia is still better than Samsung here.

Don't want to start a flame war, but after a year of using Android, I'm left disillusioned by it. Far from the perfect mobile OS. For me, the biggest mistake of Nokia was to dump Meego. But no point lamenting on that anyway.

This says otherwise: Nokia Corporation (ADR): NYSE:NOK quotes & news - Google Finance
While I had always been a Nokia fanboy, but I can't support their policy, a company needs to adapt in order to survive.

can nokia even innovate with android? can it push their innovations for the platform onto other oems?
for example, htc windows 8 phones have nokia maps in the offline mode. is this possible with android? don't think so

Why not? I mean its upto the OEMs to use it, if nokia allowed free access then any OEM could use it, or end users could download it to their devices.

haha, well it's not a surprise for me, the title said "most trusted brands", not the "top brands", and nokia phones are one of the most trustworthy and durable phones when it comes to hardware..
i currently own a Nokia 5233, no matter how much i drop it, it always survive without a scratch.. :p
Nobody thought even 3-4 yrs ago that Nokia would be demolished like this, i still remember that how nokia's demise started with the launch of the first "Samsung Galaxy S", after that phone was launched, nokia started to diminish from the hands of indian consumers.. :(
Today nokia, sony ericsson (now only sony :p) are in the position where samsung, lg were 3-4yrs. ago in indian market, before that everyone used to own either a nokia or a sony ericsson, and gosh those were the phones i miss now, great design of sony ericsson, unique looking n-series, every phone used to have it's own identity, but today every phone looks the same, a big screen with either h/w keys or touch keys in bottom... :(
Damn i miss good ol' days.. :(

Nope. More like a conscious attempt to stand out. Whatever the fate of Nokia is gonna be, It takes guts to stand out, not follow the crowd. /respect/

And by the looks of it (820/920) they might just pull it off. I have been an android user for a few months and tbh, there is no real innovation in what samsung's doing at the moment - just churn out handsets at the speed of light with bumped up specs. I like HTC for the fact that they atleast bring beautiful design into the equation. And Apple - Last year your fingers could reach 3.5 inches perfectly, this year its 4. Last year you should have been worried with the low PPI's but not this year.

im worried android will be squeezed between low end and high end
a nokia feature phone still... with symbian, has social networking, email, maps and music. windows phones can surf. don't see too much advantage with droids. just picked up 2 nokias for my parent's anniversary, could have got two droids, but I didn't. am sure at least a few other people would have made such a choice. never for a moment thought that nokia had or has gone down.
if the difference / advantage is apps, tbh, a lot of the cross platform content is on wp as well. if the content on droids is "enough" compared to that on ios, then the content on wp is also "enough"

my friend, what you've said is 100% correct. :doublethumb:
My friend own a S2, my bro owns a Sensation XE, and i have to say, HTC have really a very good build quality, as well as HTC's SenseUI is one of the most beautiful and good to use launchers out there, always hated the samsung's UI... :p
Speculations are that S4 will be having an 8-core CPU.. :shock:, they are'nt able to use even 4-cores, and still they want to increase the specs just for the sake to be in market, whether it makes any sense or not..

Totally agree with you, I use only about 20-30 apps on android and almost all of them are available in wp8, and over 50% of android and ios apps are cr@p, and most are games, which is of no concern to me. Lumia 620 looks perfect,except the bloody battery and others storage bug.

Same could be said for vodafone, arselor mittal, google and a bunch of other companies, almost every company does this.

Why not ? Android is an Open source OS, unlike WP.. Nokia doesnt have to pay any royalties for any custom modifications.. if they can introduce something like wireless charging in WP8, I dont see any reason why Nokia couldnt have done it with android

also Nokia should have focused on multiple OSes.. as Sammy and HTC are already on it
You always have a plan B that way

Well I am completely satisfied with Nokia service(there's a nokia care in kolkata which I had been visiting for over 8yrs, never any problem), never used samsung, so can't comment on their service.
