Difficult at best.

Nokia will have to develop:
- a compelling OS
- a compelling device
✓ - a payment and store ecosystem (OVI, needs work)
✓ - a navigation system (HERE Maps)
- a video sharing portal (Vimeo, YouTube)
- a video telephony service (Facetime, Hangouts)
- a social network solution (G+, Facebook, Instagram)
- an email system (Exchange, GMail)
- a cloud storage solution (OneDrive, Dropbox)
- a search engine (Google Search, Now, Siri, Cortana, Bing)
- a TV connecting medium (Chromecast, AirPlay)
- a translate engine


I'm not saying its impossible.
I'm just saying its really really difficult, and probably requires a $10B+ investment.
(I would go by making $1,000 hardware and sell it for $500, partner with other companies like Yahoo, Amazon, Dropbox etc etc, and pay devs lots of money to port their Apps, and give away free gift cards to use in the ecosystem to all the customers)
