I read some articles in the past that before was Nokia bought they worked on some new os. Idk if it was based on android, but I think it might have been Linux. I don't remember. Microsoft, after the purchase, of course flushed it.

It would depend on whether you think elop was a Microsoft mole al along 😉.

By the time of the Microsoft acquisition, focus had already shifted to Windows phones.
