On a general basis, it's a great time to buy stocks when a nowhere-near-bankruptcy firm delivers short term bad news. There's bound to come some good news at some time.

In Nokias case, their strong footing in all developing markets says they can fail as much they want to in smartphones and still be the world's strongest cell phone firm. Maybe it takes a CEO or two, and a Symbian rewrite or two, but Nokia is going nowhere. They're selling loads of phones.

I agree with Volt. Nokia has coffers full of money and they still make profit and pay regular dividends, even in these very bad times and mediocre set of products. For short term there is nothing to help, but they are making progress. On longer term, MeeGo will bring something interesting and I believe that Symbian^3 and ^4 will also make Symbian user experience more tolerable. Therefore it might not be a bad idea to invest in Nokia.

The n900 got better battery life than the Nexus and 3Gs too i think. Camera is better than most of the competitors. Resisitive are far better on a smartphone than capacitive (in my mind). The OS are stable and have a longer learning curve than the others.. but are more powerful.

The only lack the n900 have is a slim and flashy outer body. (Though i wouldn't mind if it was little bigger.. 4" screen would be nice.)

Since 5 years Nokia's strategy is catastrophic. Two many errors (N97, N900). They can't see that the world had changed. Make some usable interface with pretty UI! It's so simple!! I think the next N8 will not be a big success with its actual awful UI.

Google, in 2 years, had made 4 realases of Android ! 4!! With it’s next gingerbread they want to focus on UI… they know it’s very important nowadays. But Nokia no. This company is leaded by a guy who don’t understand the markets. Steve Jobs use its products! He know what features/improvements people want. OPK is just a businessman with no users market.
It’s keynote is boring, tiring.

USA is the place of the most important medias of the world. They can build or defeat a brand name in few articles. Why nokia don”t put all its strength is this market?? In all articles on the web they says iPhone OS or Android and forgot Symbian. Why? Because Americans don”t know anything about Nokia!

as you say it. one could think that amaricans are lacy, easy to buy with sweet talk but I would never say that. My point is this. US is important, but I would say Asia is the future.

stock is down again I think I will buy it for around 5.60 in a few months...

is this Rafe Blantford?

i agree with you its just a shame that "long Term" does not conpute in the techworld.. as a developer, consumer and a Nokia fan (love thier hardware) knowing that the good stuff is coming but is 1yr to 2yrs away is very frustrating.. shame they do not release high end top range 4" devices like HTC and as frequent too.

i believe in Nokia its just a shame the US own the tech media and Financial media and with no Nokia visibility in the US mindshare suffers. but Nokia is also very poor with communication

Nokia.. Japanese, right? I KNOW you get the reference. Just saying.

Delay in shipping the N8 - Q2 to Q3.

Let's just drop the flaming. Not allowed.

Not the whole reason
Developers are also deserting Nokia in droves (esp those who develop for the Ovi store) as the software platform for Nokia is unclear.
