Of 18000 contracts changing hands yesterday, over 10000 were for the $2.50 put. They need the price to drop below $2.39 to break even, which is a fall of over 11% of the current price. So that should tell you where the market thinks the Nokia share price is heading over the coming week.
But Nokia didn't post any warnings. Thus their earnings will be as or better than expected..

edit. + 7.82% right now

every time I edit it goes up..
