Nokia was losing money increasingly ever since Eflop took over and they just got worse the moment he went with WP instead of Android. From there on, the path would always be down. Which was Eflops plan. Now that the exclusivity deal with Microsoft was ending, Nokia was prepared to counter-rule Eflop and move to Android. So Microsoft attacked pre-emptively to avoid Nokia ditching Windows Phone.
Now Nokia has no phone division but they also are not losing money on Windows Phone since they completely abandoned the platform with the exception of HERE maps. All of Nokia's efforts are now directed to Android. When will we see Nokia return with an Android phone, we don't know. But they can't do it before 2016 anyway...however, they're not prevented to launch smartwatches, smartbands, cameras or other kinds of consumer products before 2016. And you'll see those sooner than you expect. Except they WON'T be aimed at Windows Phone.
See, I know many people consider its all due to Stephen Elop, because he took some wrong decisions, like when Meego was introduced(as Nokia CEO, he didn't allow it to spread), so many phones which had Meego, eventually went on with Symbian updates(even when meego was a hell lot better). Also when Nokia came up with wp, it was still running into loses. I know that he came from MS to Nokia, but why plan his own company to go in loses, because that could destroy reputation of both MS as well as Nokia(if wp went into loses). Whatever it is Nokia is in profit now & at least wp isn't that bad, just that it needs more time to evolve in a market dominated by Android
