The people who created MeeGo are still active in the mobile industry and they're looking for licensees.
Canonical are looking for partners.
Firefox OS has a lot of backing.
Then, of course, there's Android.

Well I haven't seen the huawei ascend in any store yet. But I can get the Nokia and HTC WP8 phones. When comparing them, the Nokia phones look much better. The HTC 8S and Huawei Ascend W1 have to little flash memory and the 8X is too expensive for my taste, So that leaves the Nokia 520, 620 or 720 for me.

The Huawei looks almost identical, has a bigger battery, faster processor, lower price and, even if the Lumia has more flash memory, the W1 has a microSD card slot anyway.
Look at it from the perspective of someone who is not already a NOKIA fan.
I still haven't seen a single Windows Phone device in the wild.

On WP8 you can't install applications on a MicroSD card, microSD can only be used for music and video (at least that is what users told me).
Also the phone-providers here in the Netherlands are currently pushing the Lumia WP8 devices pretty aggressively.
I really think this range of devices is very good. If this doesn't make WP8 a success, I can't imaging what will.

Ominously for NOKIA they're saying the same is starting to happen for the Ashas. I guess it was inevitable that would happen at some point seeing as Elop killed Meltemi and left NOKIA's feature phones stranded in the past with J2ME. The decline will probably accelerate once the carriers start promoting Firefox OS devices.

I was told that Nokia pushes the Lumia series forwards and keeps the Ashas delibrately backwards in order not to affect Lumia sales...
Also haven't seen the Samsung WP8 phones in real live yet, so WP8 currently is almost synonymous to Nokia Lumia for me.
