Nokia's Android Phone expected to be out in 2014

Every time you are part of the 'best smartphone' debate, seldom you can end it without mentioning Nokia. It is a case study forever .. the market share that Nokia enjoyed, the market impact that the Finnish giant had and the fall of this Titanic on crashing the iceberg called 'Android'.

One of the reasons behind Nokia's fall was rumoured to be it's arrogance. Arrogance of not going the Google way (No Android). While one can not deny the fact that Windows OS has seen fair success in recent times but when it comes to smartphone and tablet operating system, undoubtedly android has taken this market by storm. 

Nokia + Android could have been the best smartphone that the world could not see. It would have broken all sales record keeping Nokia afloat at numero uno. 

Looks like, after being bought by Microsoft, the new thinking team of Nokia is planning to set aside differences with Google and come out with 'THE' smartphone every mobile user has been waiting for. If reports are to be believed, Nokia is working on an Android phone codenamed 'Normandy' expected to be launched in 2014. Some much needed out of the box thinking like Nokia's tattoo that connects to smartphone.

Normandy is expected to be a budget smartphone and would most likely belong to 'Asha series' of phones. However, one can not rule the option of it being a 'Lumia' series smartphone too. Few months back, Stephen Elop, the former CEO of Nokia had backed company's choice of using Windows only over Android. What caused change in plans for ex-numero uno is up for debate!

Also, the release date of the smartphone will be very interesting given that Nokia is almost on the verge of completing its handset business buy out deal as per which Nokia can neither license the brand 'Nokia' nor it can use the brand for a specific period for manufacturing its own handsets.

Do you think Nokia + Android combo can help Nokia rule market again?
