Well, at one time Microsoft did push in some cash in a struggling company, ending a patent feud.

Not going to name the company, but it may just be that Microsoft now regrets both helping out, and later selling the share they got from it.

He seems to be overly excited by moving from the Nokia identity to being another MS OEM.

yeah, this is where Steven Elop, current CEO of Nokia stated that he wishes that HTC and Samsung will be successful with Windows Phone.

As all of you know, d) is the correct answer.
Nokia has a huge problem.

GreatGonzo already posted a link to "My Nokia Blog".

Here is the direct link to the video of Elop's keynote address:

Elop's comments regarding HTC and Samsung being successful with Windows Phone start about 17'30 into the video.

Interesting talk, and I think he is a good speaker. I also think he sounds like a MS executive doing the best he can to promote Windows Phone. I have a hard time to believe he is a Nokia manager trying to do the best for Nokia.

Not even CLOSE - well by magnitude anyway.

Look at the chart of ABK during the GFC.

Now THATs a crash.

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning
 

Poor Nokia.

The share price is in free fall, Nokia lost almost 50% value in the last 5 months. The handset business is essentially valued as 0. And even Microsoft is not interested in taking over Nokia as it would complicate their dealings with other handset makers.

When will it end?

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning
 

Here is the speculation (pardon me if I am not being original):
The Microsoft may take over the Nokia at any point now. The question arises: what are they waiting for?

The answer is that they are targeting the market with WF as an OEM product. This means they want to compete with Android/Apple, and for that they need Nokia, HTC, Samsung, LG and Chinese to start producing WF based devices.

If this is the case than buying Nokia officially is a bad move at the moment, because that will repulse the HW manufacturers.

My guess is that the Nokia is unofficially M$ already. This was not announced, but I believe that the shareholders of Nokia have
closed a deal before Elop came to Nokia.

The trade may not have been done publicly, but it would be worthy to investigate if major Nokia shareholders have somehow gained some stocks from certain other companies at that time.

The crucial message M$ is sending to HW manufacturers is:
We don't want to crush you, we want to crush Google/Android.

There is also the unspoken: We don't want to crush you (now), we will do it for later, once we crush Google/Android.

I wish I could follow stocks in realtime.

Nothing new since yesterday there.
I think CTO departure will further dent the stocks.
