Don't really see the reason for them buying it, but I guess they haven't made much progress, so it's probably for the best.

The only apparent reason is that Microsoft is getting rid of competition.

They clearly wanted tighter control over the physical quality of the products they ship with Windows Phone.

I guess Windows Phone not doing great so they are looking to improve it by integrating Nokia.

I'm not sure exactly how much Nokia as a company is worth, but if I was the CEO, I'd be pretty happy to get rid of it.
