Sorry if this has already been posted. I had not seen it:

Just a quick quote:

The facts are that Nokia smartphone unit sales had grown 7 out of 8 past quarters and declined one quarter, exactly the same as Apple's iPhone and the Samsung smartphones. The Nokia smartphone unit had been profitable every single quarter and its profitability was increasing strongly by the time Elop took charge.

Great, seems like the new chairman is all for eflop!

"Siilasmaa says he is convinced that Nokia has the right team, the correct strategy and increasingly better products, which will steer the company into recovery.

He professes pride at becoming Nokia’s next chairman and says he plans to uphold the company’s chosen strategy.

“My goal is to support the company’s leadership. Nokia’s company culture will be drawn from Finnishness in the future, as well,” Siilasmaa says.

He notes also that, since the arrival of CEO Stephen Elop in autumn 2010, the company culture has changed in significant ways.

According to Siilasmaa, he sees no need for further changes in the company as it is already in the middle of a transition process.

“In spite of all challenges, the company has a real fighting spirit. The employees are proud of the company and of its new products,” he says.

Siilasmaa spoke to journalists at a press conference prior to Nokia’s annual general meeting, which started at 2pm at Helsinki’s Exhibition and Convention Centre."

If only this happened last year as outlined in this article:

Essentially firing elop, the board, some people high up in Nokia, re instating meego as the main OS and centralising Nokia

If that would be true, the stock numbers would have been
bad even in times when there was no WP/Elop and only Symbian
which is not true for e.g. April 2008.

The drop in July/August 2008 seen here
http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=N...rce=undefined;
is a clear indication that Apple iPhone 3G (released July 2008
http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/chann...08.htm?pgno=10 )
grabbed Nokia by it's *****.

Reality:
"...Market share for Windows Phone has dropped in recent months, according to market watchers. Microsoft hasn’t shared publicly the total number of Windows Phones sold to date. One of my inside contacts said that number is around 3.5 million handsets, which, if true, is definitely nothing to write home about.
..."

For sure MS would announce the numbers if they were something
to be proud of.

That would be at 1:45pm Eastern Standard Time today. Right around my coffee time. Thanks for sharing that. (Although in fairness this should have been in the competitors area. But, since it is likely to have an effect on Nokia's stock price I guess it is OK )
