By going with android Nokia would have sold phones and definitely would have seen their overall unit sales increase. As we've seen of late, google itself makes almost nothing per mobile phone sold. That means any revenue/profit made off selling android units are split between the handset manufacturer and the carrier.

Instead of having a good chunk of that massive growth to 70%, they chose WP7 which lost them marketshare, and still have to split any money made with the carrier AND MS.

I don't see how this is currently a win for them atall.
