Confirmed: Nokia not making an Android phone, Linux job listing was only for HERE Maps

According to the previous reports, “Nokia was looking for a “Principal Software Engineer, Embedded Linux Middleware” which went on to spark off rumours that the Finnish giant might be turning to Android". But now it is confirmed that the company is not looking at hopping onto the Android bandwagon anytime shortly. According to the Nokia’s Doug Dawson, "Nokia’s plans of not shifting to the Android OS and the Linux Job posting was only for an engineer to work on the company’s recently announced HERE Maps for other platforms, including Android and iOS". We all are aware that Nokia has some backup plan if Windows Phone OS fails, it is to be highlighted that it has not happened and the Android ecosystem is already crowded with several OEMs. Those users who eagerly want to see the combination of Nokia’s hardware and Google’s Android OS, for now it is just a wish which is not going to be fulfilled anytime soon.
