Engadget reported that the hackers had managed to get Gingerbread running really smoothly on the device, and said it might even be stable enough for the great unwashed masses to try out, although Nokia is not going to like that one bit, and � disclaimer � it will void your warranty.
Analysts like Informa�s Malik Kamal-Saadi have long maintained that Nokia should be running Android on its handsets rather than the increasingly unpopular Symbian, which saw its US offices shuttered recently.
When RCR spoke to Kamal-Saadi recently, he had expressed the sentiment that Nokia was feeling mounting pressure to try Android on its handsets, which have failed to wow the smartphone buying crowds of the West.
�Symbian is dead in the water and sinking fast,� InStat�s Jim McGregor told RCR recently, despite the amount of money Nokia has invested into revamping the operating system. �Nokia is in deep trouble and I�m not sure what the firm can do about it.�
Well, Nokia might not be doing anything about it just yet, but it looks like hackers have taken the matter into their own hands.
Take a look at the video put up by one �DrunkDebugger� on YouTube:
