Re: Nokia gives profit warning. Stock is tanking. They deserve it
 
If you don't own any existing shares, $8 is a very decent price **IF** they don't cut the 4%+ dividend.

Will Nokia make use of MeeGo to branch out to other form factors that MeeGo supports? (large ipad-sized tablet, car pc, dvr/htpc, etc)

Unfortunately it's easy to see why, and imo it's not going to get any better soon with Android, iPad, and products like Chromium around the corner expected to mop up Nokia's traditional terrorities. I can't see any good news until there's some major shakeup with the senior management at Nokia, and even after that it'll be a year or maybe two for new strategies to be sewn and take seed. Tough times :(

I think they really should focus right now on symbian 4 and meego. Maybe couple of well designed laptops and a tablet :D

Not all McDonald's locations, sadly. *grumble*

Correction, very,very many at 11,500 locations.

On the other hand, ALL US Starbucks locations, though.

Still, it can't stay this low forever.

I agree. i think Nokia strategy as a company is pretty good long range especially regarding ME, China, India, Africa

Will they ever break into a large smartphone marketshare in USA, not sure, but it might not even be necessary.

i think that is what most people are blinded by.

If that's the case, why are we here? Why piss off a bunch of people in the US? Better question, why were we stupid enough to buy their crap? heh

Yeah, but so far as I know, they don't offer indoor playgrounds for cabin fever-crazed kids in the middle of winter. I'm not even sure where a Starbucks is around here, so I could be wrong though.

Anyway, sorry for the diversion. Back to kicking Nokia while they're down! Ha!

@quipper8: do you think Nokia's failing grades are.. somehow undeserved?
that it needs to be blamed to some other entity?
