What if Android 2.3 was released in its current state (and with NFC support) but there was no Nexus S/Nexus 2.

And then OUT-OF-FRIGGEN-NOWHERE they release the Nexus S (Feb 2011) and it comes with Android 3.0 but the "hosting" OEM is NOKIA. And Nokia has cut a deal with Google to spread Android everywhere (due to the deep reaches of Nokia) but in turn Google has to adopt Qt in Honeycomb 3.0 and the tablet (also by Nokia) and smartphone versions are exactly the same except the UI and a new dedicated Appstore for tablets.

So developers get 2 tools for android:
-Java (which has great compatibility, easy to develop, but sacrifices speed, and is bound in legals by Oracle)
-Qt (has good compatibility, good to develop, runs decently speedy, completely open source)

Nokia gets a powerful launchpad into the North American market, stops losing (infact potentially gains) investors and now kills off S40 to be replaced by Symbianv3, stops developing for MeeGo (but not Qt) and replaces MeeGo with an earlier released Honeycomb.

Is that a better solution than NOKIA Phone 7?
