Do you never stop? Amazing how the naysayers remain adamant in their hatcheting of W8 phones. Let's wait and see Q3 results before getting too carried away!


Wouldn't you say it's fair to assume that D&S is having a disastrous Q3? The desperation financing and the low valuation sale would seem to preclude that this was a business on the verge of a turnaround. Even Microsoft says that it will be over a year before the acquisition is accretive to earnings.

Analysis of what remains of Nokia: ...no more potential blockbuster businesses
1.Patent portfolio... subject to expensive litigation and delay
2.NSN...in a volatile market and with a history of losing money except recently
3. Here:...a amall business which never lived up to its potential and with plenty of competition
Msft gets devises, which IS a potential blockbuster business for "cigarette money"
