There are no facts to support the notion than Nokia making phones would make them a success. We do, however, have multiple companies scraping by making Android phones.
nokia, they're operating in more than 160 countries
they have a BIG marketing budget
they have the best hardware experts
their software experts made the lumia phones THE BEST WINDOWS PHONES
and they cant make a good android phone, really sad
....Guys, MSFT recently bought Nokia for around 7 billion. The way I see it, Ballmer says, hey let's buy a struggling firm to make our predicament more hapless.

They don't have the same type of budget that Samsung does. They don't have the same revenue stream, disposable. It's like you're not paying attention. Their budget is not big enough. Do you really think they could out-spend Samsung?

Nokia's US handsets are carrier exclusives because they bind them to the carrier in exchange for the carrier taking on marketing duties. If they really had a BIG marketing budget, this wouldn't be happening
Samsung is STILL BIGGER.nokia, they're operating in more than 160 countries

Nokia's main business is telecommunications. Outside of it, they are nothing.
Samsung has been a top SoC supplier for years. This is why Apple still goes to them. They can build it fast. Samsung is one of the only few companies in the world that doesn't need a partner. They build their devices INSIDE/OUT in-house. Other companies like Apple or Sony still need partners.
Just a few years ago, Samsung already became the #1 HDTV manufacturer. More marketshare than LG and Sony. Samsung was already getting BIGGER AND BIGGER even if Nokia had picked Android instead. Samsung's rise to the top was already imminent.
"Samsung is STILL BIGGER." oh yes it is!
but go back 4 years, was samsung in the same position they are today, no!(they were BEHIND nokia)
it takes some time. marketing + a great gadget = success
if nokia came to the android world, it'd take them hardly a year to easily beat LG, HTC and sony. why? because nokia has the biggest following out of these 4 companies.
and in about 3-4 years they would be above samsung.
