What I'm talking about is the original decision not to merge their top of the line phones with the full Android OS, something that Nokia reportedly considered doing before accepting Microsoft's bribe and making the fateful move to the Windows Phone disaster.

So if Nokia had made better business decisions, they'd be in better shape?

Interesting spin to try to blame MS there.
I get characterizing negotiations as "bribes" and "leaning." It's transparent, but to be expected.
But even if we allow that, it's a very bold move to try shift all the responsibility of ACCEPTING a bribe fully onto the people who offered it! What a great out that would be for every corrupt official in the world! "It's not my fault, your honor! They offered me MONEY!"
