The Nokia Q2 filing is out here if anyone wants to take a look at it - http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...-16669_16k.htm

The standout points for me are.

1. All the discussion on smartphones is towards the Windows Phone platform.
2. Symbian sales are apparently "down sharply".
3. There is almost no mention whatsoever about Meego, or the N9, excluding a reference to the canned facility in Ulm pushing R&D costs down.
4. Lumia SHIPPED (correction) 4 million devices for the quarter, whereas total smartphone sales were 10 million devices.
5. The small increase in Windows Phone sales isn't off-setting the collapse in Symbian/Meego smartphone sales.

My inference from the whole report was that Nokia really going to push the coming Windows Phone 8 devices when they get released towards the end of this year. Q4 is going to be make of break for Nokia in that respect. All the eggs are in the Windows Phone basket, and if users don't adopt the Windows Phone 8 platform, then Nokia are going to be in serious trouble.
