Stephen Elop explains again why Nokia is not with Android but with Windows Phone

With the launch of the new Nokia Lumia 1020, the question or phrases sprouting from the mouths of a few is ‘why not Android’. The Guardian has been speaking to Mr Elop who, yet again, has to explain why Nokia is with Windows Phone as opposed to Android.

When asked if he regrets the choice, Elop says he’s very happy with the decision Nokia has made. Essentially it’s the same concern that in Android, there’s one tough competitor, Samsung that dominates Android and leaves space for no one else. As Nokia Lumia, it becomes a ‘Third Alternative’ to carriers when going with Apple/Samsung.

With partners like AT&T Elop feels Nokia is making traction and that this is the right decision.

If only this massive software company, Microsoft, took the billions of cash reserves and personnel that they have to really push the development speed of windows phone and developer relationship.

Cheers Sandun for the tip!
