Considering that other manufacturers are dumping the platform, Nokia are effectively owing the platform, a burning one at that.
They also had Maemo and Meego, it was a long shot, yes, but they did not have to go with Android, but going with Android would have given them the best chance at survival. As said, their hardware's always been good, and Android is well established, so you have a large population to tap into. Nobody's saying it would be easy, but then again, going with Microsoft hasn't turned out to be the bed or roses Elop hinted it'd be, has it? When you have to sell the company, I hardly call that "stabilized".
