Thanks for demonstrating the spirit of optimism, unfortunately it doesn't directly address the issue of bottomline that I (and apparently all other Nokia's shareholders) are asking about.

High profit = enough gap between the selling price and the costs (not just the cost to produce, but also to operate the company). Just take a peek at iSuppli's parts breakdown reports. I really doubt Nokia's profit per unit can be anywhere near as well as you alluded.
