Well at least someone has got a few brain cells not hating Elop on here .

Nokia is far too big an important and probably the most established mobile hardware manufacturer on this planet at the moment so there is not a chance in hell Microsoft will allow them to sink.

Elop is a VERY smart guy or he simply would never have got the post he did !.

That pre-Elop line up of whatever those asterisks mean sold more than all Apple and Samsung handsets combined. And given that that line of whatever those asterisks mean has been abandoned, there will be no Nokia 2 years from now.

If I read the articles about the results from Finnish media correctly, the only reason the results were positive was a one-time patent royalty payment of 430m€, probably from Apple.

If after this the profit was 391m€, you can do the math. Last year, without patent payments, profit was 660m€.

it's one-time payment and royalties. so it will still pay to some extent in next Q if the payment is indeed from Apple.

ouch, man apple saved nokia.
this is why u should never feed the patent trolls :P. though i guess a fellow patent troll knows when time to feed.

smartphone grow its comming from used to be dumphone users.

not many converts, so what ever nokia losing now to iOS androd, blackberry and BADA (YES BADA is outselling wp7) , its not coming back ever.

nokia probably in talks with the devil because wp7 have to be bigger than jesusphone.

According to one "analyst", those payments could be about €50 million per quarter from now on. Nothing to write home about.

So is Microsoft going to buy Nokia or just buy the phones that Nokia can't sell?

If first one, will Microsoft then buy all the phones it makes in order to stop sales of Nokia branded phones from sinking?
