Seriously there's no point telling this over and over again. Nokia's phone business is profitable. Period.

Well, I wouldn't say so. Nokia has already announced that it will not make as many models available 2010 as it has done in previous years. But there's no way it will drop it's cheap phones, since with Nokia's streamlined logistics it's the leader in that area and has invested a lot to that sector. One good example is the mobile banking service it has purchased.
