Why nokia not opting for android

The question: did he ever regret not choosing Android as the platform for Nokia's post-Symbian smartphones? We had a suspicion of who it might be, because of the resources available, the vertical integration, and we were respectful of the fact that we were quite late in making that decision.

Many others were in that space already. This, he continues, becomes important in negotiations with carriers - who are the gatekeepers to getting a phone in front of so many people, especially in the US. But it was the right decision.
