Are you kidding?

I care because:

1. I have always been a Nokia fanboy (not so much after the N97 and my broken N900 usb port which Nokia refused to fix) and you always want those you support to do well don't you?

2. The more money a company makes the more money it has for R&D which means the more likely it is to make a super amazing product.

3. Nokia is not going to money hat like Microsoft did with xbox and 360 for example but if it had mad money to throw around it would mean as their new CEO said "developers, developers, developers".

4. If Nokia's profits continue to fall then real risk they focus on the dumb phones and mid range phones.

5. Unlikely, but maybe if Nokia was making mad profits it would actually have some level of customer services (and my N900 would have been fixed).

6. What if I was a Nokia share holder? Do you know for certain that I am not? In which case how well they are doing would have a very very direct effect on me.
