Nokia choose Windows for a simple reason : Samsung

Almost three years ago, Stephen Elop made ​​a decision that almost no one understood it. Nokia CEO came in front of a crowd of reporters along with Steve Ballmer and announced a partnership with Microsoft , among others, was reflected in the Lumia series terminals. In a time when it seemed the obvious choice Android and Windows Phone was just an experiment in which no one believed, one of the world's largest handset manufacturers showed signs not to be turned in the direction.
It's been a long time, and Windows Phone is starting to look increasingly better. In terms of global sales, has already surpassed BlackBerry , but in the subconscious of many of us remained the question of the current CEO of the Finnish decision. Why Nokia deal almost exclusively of terminals with Windows Phone?Because of the dominance that Samsung managed to impose its terminals Android universe, especially the series Galaxy S. Stephen Elop was very realistic when he described why he preferred to take the risk of relying on a new platform instead enter an endless race for supremacy in the crowded market with Android gadgets.
"I had a suspicion about who might be because of the resources they have available and vertical integration in the market. I respect the fact that I was late in making the decision. Many others already working in this space. " 
At the time, I never understood why Nokia assumes an unnecessary risk with Windows Phone. Now, however, the quality of products and engineering efforts invested in Lumia series terminals appear to be sufficient to increase the popularity of both Microsoft platform, and to increase company profits.
