Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.

Analysts are all about "product differentiation". Everyone was Android, so the way to differentiate themselves was to go with windows.

And sometimes that's a bad idea, as seen here. Sometimes you do the same thing but do it better, like Apple and the iPod/iPhone.
