Why is Nokia afraid of Android?

[Huntsman]

It's something that has been bothering me so far.. What's the cause of Nokia's stubborness?
Nokia has made the first cell phone, it has also made the legendary Nokia 3310 which I also own and would prefer over any other phone if it worked properly (Hey, the phone has been actively used for like 7 years, if not more). All Nokia phones are very well known for their durability, even my X6 fell to the ground countless of  times, but it still works (the only problem is that i bricked it by installing faulty software.). Now Im thinking of getting an another phone and i would definatly get a Nokia but the problem is that it has some sort of android-o-phobia. Seriously, at first it got stuck with their shitty Symbian which was not only a laggy, but also useless and way far behind operating system. I mean, it was good for the time when it was invented, it had really great gaming expierence and it supported 3d games, but after a while it just dated.. It sucks.. And Nokia was still stubborn even when peopel were looking for Android smartphones and then Nokia decided to switch their OS, when their finances started to hurt... Yet then again, instead of choosing the most popular OS, it decided to go with Windows 8.... The heck? Who is their marketer? Someone from microsoft, perhaps? This is what's stopping me from getting a Nokia. Nokia is extremely durable handset, all of them are, however, it's just plain annoying that it refuses to allow their users to get android...

I mean.. just look at this. They're having shared launch dates now... that's fourth base right there.

I can't think of a Nokia running Android OS.
Yes, its true that Nokia's sales would make a very very big leap if they sell their cell phones with Android.. But I can't think of it anymore. They even had a Nokia Lumia running Android under testing before they were bought by Microsoft.
If I had to choose a Nokia with either WP or Android, I would go for WP. Also, the OS really suits Nokia somehow, that's what I think. It's the fastest growing operating system too.
It has started to get all the popular applications, awesome handsets (the 1020 and 1520 for example).

I love some of the new features of GDR3 too ^^.

Windows Phone is Microsoft and Android is Google, and they're the biggest competitors in terms of technology with Apple.

I think that may be the case and that's why Google never made a YouTube app for WP.

Actually, Nokia were secretly developing a Lumia with Android OS but it never got launched due to the recent sell of their mobile phone division.
