"I've always believed, and I still think it would be true - if Nokia would adopt Android, they could probably even beat Samsung."
How is his belief a reality? Even the conjecture that he uses to advance Android over WP in following paragraphs, still does not hold truth. Nokia will still have to fight all the vendors, Samsung at forefront, to gain space.
The difference is that Nokia is still very good at hardware and industrial design, while many of these companies are not (though they're learning quickly).
And Nokia also has still some value in their brand from the feature phone era, even if it eroding rapidly. They're now at position 19 of global brands, and dropping fast.
