I think that Android has quite low loyalty and that in fact a goiod expereince at retail could have users walking oiut with Windows phones.

Do you think the customers are asking for an Android phone at that price range or are they asking for *a* smart phone that looks and works well for them? Considering the different skins different EOMs put on their Android phones, they all look somewhat different, so retail availability, marketing commissions to retail staff, the looks and brand name may be more important than whether Google Maps are now replaced by Nokia’s Maps.

If Nokia can put active devices at retail demo stations instead of dummy devices, the interface of WP is more intuitive for a user browsing different phones than Android skins with tons of pages of “desktops” with favorited and temporary files along with endless pages of bloatware apps. It may be able to persuade many Android developers to support its devices even if slight modifications are necessary. That sounds less burdensome than developing for a completely different OS using a different SDK.
