"Nokia also reassured investors by reiterating its forecast that more than 400 million mobile phones will be sold this year. It expects 700 million people will have a cell phone at the end of the year, a number it sees rising to 1 billion users in 2002." slacker- Well I answered my own question by reading another story on their earnings. -MikeM(From Florida)

Mike, If Nokia was a US company and 50% of their income was from Europe things would not be so rosy. If the euro hadn't devalued over 10% from last years level, diluted eps would have been more in the neighborhood of .16-.17. (Using 20% income in dollars and a 10% weaker euro vs last year. It's been a bit more, much to my chagrin.) They may employ some razor sharp currency traders which can mitigate against the possibility of some reversal of fortune of these currencies. If so, I know some US based multinationals who could use their help. -g-
