I'd say both Samsung/Intel (Tizen) and Microsoft (WP) have very deep pockets.There are only two real competitors for 3rd place, one has a near infinite pool of money, the other does not. Guess which survives to live another day.

Samsung is adding more and more software features, to differentiate from other Android.
...and the "creator of cyanogenmod" recently left Samsung and criticized their interface...
Just spent another week in Beijing and saw zero windows phone. All my employees say nobody wants them because there are no apps. Everyone is android or ios. When I told them Nokia tells their shareholders they're doing great, even on top, in China the answer is "and the shareholders believe them?"
No joking and no exaggeration.
im not seeing any in SE asia also yet, but I think this is partly due to them having a higher entry price than android phones (ok not a major factor in singapore)Just spent another week in Beijing and saw zero windows phone.

What if they achieved 5-10% of the Android market?
Would they be better off?
Or 5% of Android, 50% of Win8, 100% of Meego and 100% of Symbian Belle which would still be alive and kicking if they hadn't told everyone it was dead.
No it wouldn't, it was horrible compared to any other platform from user perspective at least.
They couldn't get as good deal from MS as they got if they had gone with, say, Android too.
Yes mize I think your right mostly, however symbian needed sn overhaul and although it pioneered many things that iphone users have just got and think are a revolution. ..in the end symbian just copied android.
It needed major investment and some loving. ..your right though elop lost his marbles by sending that burning oil rig memo.
I would have just loved a really high end phone to have been made with snapdragon s600 or something. ..jesus that thing would go like a rocket ship!!
