It took eons, but Nokia is finally making the Android phones we always hoped it would make. To get here, Nokia had to lose its grip on the mobile business, choose Windows Mobile as its only smartphone OS, and then sell its entire mobile division to Microsoft. But the American software giant was unable to make anything good come out of its Nokia Lumia and Windows Phone brands, turning the acquisition into a failure of epic proportions.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is selling its feature phone business to Foxconn. And Nokia is licensing its name, which it’s buying back from Microsoft, to a company that will work with the same Foxconn subsidiary to make feature phones, Android smartphones and Android tablets in the near future.

I think it is maybe too late for Nokia to get enough buyers for its new Android phones and tablets where Nokia becomes more profitable. Many big companies like Blackberry, Sony, HTC, etc are not selling as many Android phones as Samsung, and LG.
Nokia may also have a difficult time convincing people to buy their tablets. There are too many popular Android tablet brands like Samsung, Nvidia, Amazon, and cheaper Asian brands. Nvidia tablets are becoming more popular with gamers who want to buy an Android tablet which is designed for gaming, and tablet tasks. Samsung tablets get a lot of buyers which use a tablet to surf the web, play casual games, read, watch video, and go on social networking apps. Amazon tablets are very cheap, so they attract a lot of buyers who care most about price, and getting a good deal.
Nokia's brand may also of been damaged by being a Windows Phone maker for so long which may cause people to not want to buy a phone with a reputation of being partnered with Microsoft and Windows phone for so long. I feel the boxy design of Nokia phones don't look very good compared to phones made by Samsung, LG, or Apple.
