Re: Google Android
Nokia are still very respected for their hardware and build quality, pretty much all their critisms were software aligned. Combine that with a windows 7 interface (don't forget windows 8 has a very similar interface so it'll be very familiar) and I think you'll see that MS/Nokia are a bit of a dark horse and may well sneak back into the race.
I'm not a particular Nokia fan, but I've done a *lot* of research into the phone makers around things like reliability, build quality, component quality (this is where brands like Samsung & HTC fail). Apple I dunno, it's possible with Mr Jobs out of the picture, that history may repeat itself like the last time he wasn't around, apples star may be waning or about to. I think we'll know for sure in the next two years abut them. When their current and 'in development' projects are done.
In short MS & Nokia are definitely 2 contenders to watch closely over the next 6 - 9 months.
