Above the fish it says Nokia Ltd in Finnish, and below the fish in Swedish. More information on what a "osakeyhtiö" is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osakeyhti%C3%B6

Aktiebolag is swedish for "joint-stock corporation" (literal translation pretty much) which is in Sweden what Ltd is in the UK

"Nokia Limited Stock Company" in finnish on upper part and swedish on lower part.

"Nokia Ltd." would propably be how that would be written in english.

Here's more info;

Nokia (NOK) is looking to collect a 1%-2% patent royalty -- worth around $6-$12 -- off each iPhone sold, according to a note from Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster.
Apple's (AAPL) iPhone unit sales to date are around 34 million, so it would owe Nokia between $200-$400 million if Nokia is successful. Munster notes the $12 figure is unlikely.
Nokia has apparently been talking to Apple about this for over a year now.

What? The iPhone DOESN'T cost $99? How can this be?!

Not a bad asking price on Nokia's part. Probably a bit high to some people, but that sounds like a suitable number.

Now the fun math: 7-8million iPhones at $6 each means how much revenue for Nokia? Just enough to fun another Maemo device exploration

The irony of both paragraphs is killing me.

very nice strategy from Nokia, they are introducing the new X6 capacitive Nokia and the Maemo to the game but where is the advertising?

this also reminds me of the long battle between Qualcomm and Nokia =/

lol, yes payment on every iPhone sold and OVI services integrated
