RIP Nokia was in 2011 (Elopcalypse). It just took a while to bury the corpse.

My question is this. How can the board accept a low price like this? They are the once to blame. Elop did well. Sad but true.

Can anyone clue me in: how can Microsoft buy Nokia for $7.2 billion, if the current market cap for NOK is $14 billion? How does acquisition of publicly traded companies work?

hate it, we may but i have a feeling this Nokia + MS marriage will actually be successful. maybe not successful enough to be #1 but definitely successful enough to hurt Apple and Google so that they feel pain.

MS has a lot of R&D which they have problems getting out the door (commercializing) in a good cadence. Nokia has cool R&D (not as many as MS) which they manage to get out of the door.
They are pretty good at this acquire and destroy business but cannot hold on to HW business.

Nokia understands the mobile industry (and consumers) more so than MS could ever do in the next 10000000000 years.

NSN is where the money in NOK comes from.

The only sad part to this is that now Microsoft owns all the Nokia mobile patents and they WILL start doing whatever they can to squash Android, Sailfish, Tizen...basically any linux based mobile will now be on their radar. Get ready for a slew of lawsuits against these linux based OSs...
