Frankly I am a little bit disappointed that Nokia hasn’t considered yet launching Android phones. Sure you’ll tell me that the Finnish company already has its very own OS. But is Symbian good enough at this point? While we’re waiting for the Symbian Foundation to create a totally new Symbian OS, other companies are getting an impressive Android market share. Android is getting hotter and hotter and we’re going to see lots of new gadgets powered by Google’s OS.

Nokia is finally seeing the big picture. It’s being rumored that a Nokia Android smartphone is in the works and it will be unveiled at the Nokia World conference in September. Nokia is looking to increase its market share in the smartphone business. Although it’s the number one cell phones manufacturer in the world Nokia is losing terrain in the smartphone sector. The company has lost 16% market share in 2 years. Compared to 2007 when it had 47% market share for smartphones at the end of 2008 that number dropped to 31%.

Is Nokia preparing a new flagship phone? Would you buy a N97 Android Nokia smartphone? We’ll have to wait a couple of months to find out if Nokia is indeed thinking Android thoughts.
