Finally! Nokia has seen the light and made some Android phones!
They're low-end models, they're made to look like Windows Phones, and
they have a watered-down version of Android with a Nokia app store
that's as empty as the Windows Phone software shop, but it's a start.
Because they have all the Android drivers built in, it shouldn't be too
hard to make custom ROMs with the full Google Play Store and all its
apps and Google syncing options.
Back when Nokia wouldn't even
look at Android there was a CyanogenMod port for the Nokia N9, but that
phone got abandoned real quick. But the new Nokia Android phones should
have a longer lifespan, and maybe Nokia will add a few better-specced
Androids later on?
Nokia hardware with the flexibility of Android... sounds like a promising alternative for when your Samsung needs replacement.
Update: Done! Nokia X rooted and filled with Google apps.

Better late than never. Finally the giant has kneeled down to super giant. But the question is, Microsoft being the biggest stake holder of Nokia, will it allow Nokia to continue with android?
