Nokia CEO sees beating Android as primary goal

The decision to choose WP7 over Android was an easy one for Nokia, which Elop clarified when he later said "We obviously made the decision to go Windows Phone. We made the decision for a whole variety of reasons, but to understand it more, you need to understand how Microsoft viewed this opportunity to make sure there were more than two ecosystems." Which then led him to say "A decision to go with Windows Phone creates a very different dynamic [as opposed to Android]. Windows Phone is a challenger. It becomes a three-horse race."
