I was getting a little bored with all the amateur sleuths and stockbrokers speculating on what may or may not happen to Nokia etc.... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ighlight=stock

HOWEVER, I must apologise for being so cynical, having just happened to catch 5 minutes of Bloomberg News this morning.

They showed a graphic called ‘Patent Envy – Who has the most patents?’
Nortel: 6,000
Motorola: 17,000
Nokia: 42,000

Based on the Googorola deal they estimate Nokia’s current value to be about $20 billion whereas the value of the patents based on Motorola’s should value the company at around $30 billion.

Nokia and RIM’s shares are up 17.26%

It seemed that Bloomberg were suggesting that Nokia is ripe for a takeover!

I wonder what will Elop do in order to make the stock drop again. Maybe he'll leak some video when he's saying how much symbian sucks and how people that buy Nokia phones are stupid

No, this time he has to attack the perceived value of Nokia patents. Perhaps he will decide to "settle" one or more current patent lawsuits against Nokia?

Don't worry dude! It's not your English, it has to be something else

By the way I'm not sure... maybe it's just my bad English but I think it's called WP7.

This time he´ll give a big portion of them over to MS as a sign of "our enduring committment to the Windows Phone partnership"

However Nokia patents are not that useful against Linux anyway. Curiously the patent pledge seems to have disappeared from nokia.com, but there's a copy here.
