Nokia (NOK) +5.1% premarket, adding to yesterday's gains (I, II). CNET has published an interview with CEO Stephen Elop in which he says Nokia is "planning a lot of exciting things with Verizon."

Pac Crest has joined Deutsche and Raymond James in questioning the strength of demand for Nokia's (NOK) Windows Phone 8 hardware. Like others, it thinks initial sellouts were due to limited supplies, and believes AT&T is selling only 10K-15K Lumia 920 units/week. Altogether, it forecasts 1M WP8 shipments for Q4, with sell-through of roughly half that total. Meanwhile, Swedish carrier Tele2 says it has sold out its Lumia stock, but it received an initial shipment of just 2K-3K units. (Oppenheimer) [View news story]
Nokia will make a come back the pundits will always be losers and gripe about the stock in question. The shorts will have to cover pretty soon and then its to the moon Alice!
Nokia (NOK -4.3%) has given up some of last week's gains. Oppenheimer's Ittai Kidron offered mixed commentary this morning.

SA's Jacob Steinberg pointed out today net institutional ownership of Nokia has been rising. [View news story]

"With each new generation of Windows Phone, Microsoft not only closes the gap with iOS and Android in important ways, but it also differentiates in important ways," says The Verge in a fairly positive review of Windows Phone 8 (MSFT). It also declares the OS to have the best home screen of any platform, and likes its built-in Office and cloud apps. But it's not crazy about the Nokia-powered (NOK) Maps app, and says there are still "countless annoyances" that hurt the user experience. (yesterday: I, II) [View news story]

Nokia (NOK) is partnering with mobile ad exchange owner Inneractive to launch the Nokia Ad Exchange. The exchange will provide access to the 120 ad networks and agencies currently supported by Inneractive, and gives Nokia an additional service to pitch to developer partners.
