    Why don't you just list every stock in the world? There would probably be some good bets in there some where. Reply

    David...add ANAT to the list. It is the sister company of NWLIA - both controlled by the Moody Family. Also, KCLI is another unappreciated insurer trading below book. Disclosure - I am long both. Reply

    10, 20, 50 and 200 million is more than nil, or 6 million as in the case of iPhone. ANDROID is already dead. Reply

    The problem is that out of your 200 million Symbian phones, only a small portion can actually run applications due to a lack of memory and processing power. Add in the multiple different controller interfaces (keypad and buttons), different screen resolutions and different versions of Symbian, and it's a fragmented market at best. Newer devices will surely benefit from the newfound freedom, but unless they have a more common configuration, it's still a crapshoot. Reply

    There is a stock of maybe 200 million Symbian-phones out there already and not one Android-phone. Now that the Symbian is free for all it shall obviously be more profitable to make applications for an OS that actually exists and is working than a betaproduct that as well might remain just beta. This should be too costly and risky for Google as well.

    ANDROID IS DEAD

    "I don´t see any reason for Google to continue down the Android path long term now that Nokia has made its move".

    I don´t see any reason for programmers to continue make applications for ANDROID now that Nokia has made its move.

    Tech's Most Popular CEOs [view article]
    Folks - Check out this website www.thesmartpro.org which is pretty much the same without the unwanted details. How many employees want to know the approval rating of the CEO before deciding to accept the offer?

    Smartpro is neat, it classifies the responses under categories that are important and relevant to employees. It’s free and not for profit!

    It does not have millions of dollars to promote like Glassdoor but is quietly aiming to provide newletters, jobs, reviews, ratings, industry benchmarks et al. All for free.

    check it out at www.thesmartpro.org

    Tero might be knowledgeable about Nokia. But his views over the past few years (see old thestreet.com transcripts) on Nokia are hardly objective, and historically overly celebratory of anything they do.. Reply

    > Strong iPhone sales will only further entrench 3G, driving Nokia's sales higher.

    I guess, this is a "what doesnt kill you will make you stronger" kind of argument for nokia, haha...

    The handset business is lousy - NOK is just a Europroxy for MOT. Better play seems to be the transport guys - who biggest players in the BRIC countries? is international/global telecom better played via a fund or ETF (i.e. DGG)? Thoughts welcome - Happy 4th of July to all. Reply
