Nokia’s Android phone

Tom Warren at The Verge:

Nokia has been building its own Android phone according to multiple sources familiar with the company’s plans. Codenamed Normandy, and known internally at Nokia under a number of other names, the handset is designed as the next step in low-end phones from the Finnish smartphone maker. We understand that Nokia has been testing “Normandy” with a special “forked” variant of Android that’s not aligned with Google’s own version, akin to what Amazon does with its Kindle Fire line.

The real question is, can Nokia get this handset out into the world before before the Microsoft deal closes?

This is totally the phone version of the Indy Hat Roll.
