Here comes the other shoe…and of course the resultant conclusion: Nokia sucks therefore sell Qualcomm....and buy Nokia?

LONDON (CNN) - Nokia chopped its first-quarter revenue growth forecast on
Thursday and lowered its estimate of worldwide handset demand.

The world's biggest mobile phone handset maker lowered its first-quarter sales
growth expectations to about 20 percent from an earlier estimate of 25 to 35
percent.

Nokia also cut its 2001 worldwide handset sales forecast to 450 million-to-500
million, down from its previous estimate in January of 500 million-to-550 million
phones.

The Finnish firm kept its first quarter earnings per share target of 0.19
($0.17).

The announcement follows recent gloomy predictions from the firm's chief
rivals, Sweden's Ericsson and U.S. firm Motorola (MOT: Research, Estimates).
Just like its competitors Nokia blamed the slowing U.S. economy for the
industry's problems.

Shares in Nokia rose 7.5 percent to 26.40 in Helsinki after the
announcement.
