Dude, every corporation is out there to make money (and I don't see why that makes a corporation automatically evil), but there are many ways to do it, and always a difference. Maybe in your words, it could be said that Nokia is "less evil" than Apple.

However, when I go to the highlands of my country, where people still starve to death daily, and I see a cell phone tower with a ground station, that the people use to call outside, and coordinate the shipments of food and medicine, and when I climb said tower to discover that it was donated by Nokia, then yeah, my respect for them grows a lot.

Edit: Oh, and if you are wondering why I was there in the first place, well, the corporation where I work donated 10% of our quarter quota for us to go there and help with the relief work, and we were forbidden of doing any publicity about it. So yeah, all corporations are evil, right?
