Don’t take this with a grain of salt, this could very well be true and I see no reason why it won’t be. Nokia did have team which had Android running on the Lumia phones before Microsoft jumped in and bought Nokia. Keep in mind that the Nokia Microsoft partnership was to end next year and then Nokia could have very well dumped Windows Mobile and Microsoft and gone with Android. Why? Because everybody including Nokia knows that Windows Mobile ain’t going nowhere, it’s between iOS and Android as of now.
There were rumors that Nokia was on the verge of going bankrupt hence they were bought by Microsoft, but we believe that Microsoft knew that Nokia was working on Android on the Lumia phones. This was a clear signal to Microsoft that Nokia might dump Windows Mobile and go with Android. Therefore to save Windows Mobile from being an extinct species Microsoft decided to buy Nokia.
We already know a group of ex Nokia employees have started Newkia to run Android on Nokia phones, what if this was the group within Nokia which has Android running on Nokia phones. What a head start for this group.
