Nokia Android Phone Will Be Released In January 2014 by GodswillAJudins(m): 10:16am On Dec 22, 2013
Nokia is secretly building an Android phone that would be released January 2014 as gotten from sources. The phone is codenamed Normandy and it would be a low-end Android budget phone.

The team involved are apparently in "full steam ahead" to get the device out as early as possible.

The phone is expected to tackle the competition its Asha line of phones are having with other low-end budget Android phones according to some sources.

Since, the full acquisition of Nokia handset unit by Microsoft isn't complete yet, Nokia can quickly make the Android phone and see the reactions that would be generated by customers out there.

Although, it is my opinion that this is something that Nokia should have done long time ago, we still think that Nokia has a better chance of
growth if it had gone the Android way rather than going the Windows OS way.

Either way, we would be glad to see a low-end budget Nokia Android phone come 2014 if Microsoft didn't take over the handset unit completely by then.

According to previous reports, this "Android phone" is an heavily modified version of Android.
Can/Should it still be called an Android device?
Re: Nokia Android Phone Will Be Released In January 2014 by Nobody: 1:45pm On Dec 22, 2013
This is a bad move by them, rather than carving a niche for themselves with their unique 'windows OS based' Lumia series, they're jumping into the already saturated android market.....

Seriously people, there is no way Nokia are going to make an Android device. If in the very unlikely scenario they do make one, sign me up.

Of course. The OS in the kindle fire was highly modified but it's still no less an Android device. Virtually all Andy phone makers tweak their OS source code to an extent to suit their preferences (hey, open source). You can only get the "virgin" Android OS version in the Google Nexus series.
