And a less polished Android device would have sold better? Meego wasn't an option - perhaps they'd have sold more, but they'd have spent massively more money in the process and done nothing to further next year's platform.

Who knows? Nokia was famous for its hardware quality, there was a huge brand loyalty (in Russia, at least). Quite a lot of people would have payed a little bit extra to get a reliable good-looking phone.

Hell, a lot of people in Russia were still buying Symbian-based smartphones when Android had already been available.
