> The idea: abandon the BlackBerry OS 10 fiasco and adopt the upcoming Windows Phone 8 software instead. That’s basically the route Nokia took, opting to abandon Symbian in favor of Windows to power high-end phones.
anecdotal-y: I've seen more Nokia smartphones in the northeast (Boston-NYC-Washington DC corridor which I travel through pretty often) post-windows switch than before. Maybe it's the marketing push from AT&T that has helped them sell more smartphone units now vs. in the past
And how is that working out for Nokia?
