Nokia CEO Elop: the future is possible with Android smartphones

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has talked in an interview with the leading Spanish daily El País about the future of Nokia and also not ruled out future use of Android.
Currently Nokia is completely in smartphones on Windows Phone 8th Unlike Android manufacturers can find the program interface does not change easily and set up a brand's style, usually differs just the hardware. Elop sees the unique features of its smartphones, but in the large number of Windows Phone apps and the exceptional camera. In fact, currently only offer the Lumia devices to a car navigation, as Microsoft does not offer its own navigation for mobile platform.
When asked whether Android would not have been a better decision for the Finnish group, he advocates the same path, of course. For the future, however, he is much more open. You always think about the next steps. Although they currently sit on Microsoft, but anything is possible.

In the current ecosystem wars we are using Windows Phone as our weapon, but we are always thinking about what's coming next, what will be the role of HTML 5, Android ... Today we are committed and satisfied with Microsoft, but anything is possible.

The next goal for now Nokia is to regain a double-digit market share. In the long run with Windows Phone 8 a balance with Android and iOS are made. Until when these goals are to be achieved is not yet determined.
So far, one of Nokia has never been so open-ended comments regarding the use of Android belongs. Rumors or questions about this issue have so far always strictly negative. This interview, however, could indicate a turning point in the attitude of the former world leader and perhaps the very best hardware can be controlled even in a few months of Android.
