Nokia (NOK -2.7%) ticks lower following a downgrade to Underweight from Barclays' Jeff Kvaal: he argues "neither Lumia nor Windows Phone has reached critical mass," and claims "CES checks showed few signs WP8’s promise is converting to sustained demand." Moreover, Kvaal believes Nokia, which expects to report 4.4M Lumia sales for a supply-constrained Q4, will need to sell 10M-12M Lumias/quarter for its Smart Devices ops to break even, assuming a €225 ASP, 20% gross margin, and €2B in opex.

Looking to make its hardware thinner/lighter, Nokia (NOK +1.5%) will have one or more next-gen Lumia devices feature casings made out of aluminum rather than the polycarbonate relied on for current-gen models, The Verge reports. The site adds Nokia is working on two devices as part of an upcoming refresh; one of them, a Lumia 920 successor, is codenamed Catwalk. The 920's weight (185g) is well above that of the iPhone 5 (112g) and Galaxy S III (133g), and has been criticized in some reviews. [View news story]
I love the polycarbon on the 800. I drop it and if its scratched its still blue inside. Hope they dont compromise too much and loose what is unique with lumia

My only worry is that people will do that before I can increase my position!
"That's why I was completely awestruck when the company announced its decision to wait until long after the iPhone 5's debut to start selling its make or break new Lumia smartphone handsets."
What do you mean ? Iphone 5 presentation or launch date? You know something I dont?
A Twitter account that has been a reliable source for mobile leaks has uploaded pictures of what it claims are Nokia's (NOK) upcoming Windows Phone 8 models, due on Sep. 5. The mid-range Lumia 820 is said to feature a 4.3" display, while the high-end Lumia 920 reportedly has a 4.5" display and Nokia's PureView imaging tech. However, the 920's lens and flash appear to be much smaller than those of Nokia's Symbian-based 808 PureView phone. (previous) [View news story]
God I yelled in hope that pureview will be on the 920. It is imho Nokias ace of spades against the competition. If its featured my extremely bullish thesis will get water on its wheels....
Nokia (NOK) and Zynga (ZNGA), two tech companies having less-than-memorable years, have formed a partnership. Zynga Poker and Draw Something will be pre-installed on Nokia's popular Asha feature phones. Draw Something, the result of Zynga's ~$210M acquisition of OMGPOP, has been seeing declining user activity. In June, Zynga promised to develop games for Windows Phone hardware such as Nokia's Lumia line. Nokia +4.9% after rallying on European exchanges. [View news story]

Geron's drugs "have the potential to change the way cancer is treated," the article says, citing six potential catalysts for GERN's stock over the next year. [View news story]
I would hope articles dont have such power, even tough linked trough Yahoo finance and such ..
I love the Captain Hindsight article writers. They write what the stock price suggests they should write, and build their arguments on this. And refering to a commentator initially in a "article" just places this as a comment, not an article.
Please make more bearish posts, I want to increase my position before it rises more. Ty , keep buying high!! .........
With some help from rising European markets, Nokia (NOK +4.2%) has quietly rallied 23% this week, as value investors bet the company can stabilize. A Chinese site recently reported that Nokia will unveil two Windows Phone 8 models (previous) at its Sep. 5 Nokia World event. There are already hints Nokia WP8 devices could go on sale soon afterwards. (also) [View news story]
Moody's downgrades Nokia's (NOK -2.9%) debt rating to Ba3 from Ba1 with a negative outlook, saying its "transition in the smartphone business will cause deeper operating losses...than we had previously assumed." The cut follows Fitch downgrading Nokia to to BB- from BB+ last week. The company says that Moody's action would have a limited effect and that its cash balance remains strong. [View news story]
Shipped means sold for Nokia Corp.. If the costumer does not buy it, in direct effect it does not effect Nokia, it affects the carrier. Why does everyone keep naggin about shipped units? When did carriers get the protection where as Nokia buys back not sold phones? lol.
Nokia (NOK -3.6%) makes new lows yet again after getting hit with a downgrade to Underperform by Jefferies. The firm cites Microsoft's hardware development efforts (though no smartphone is in the pipeline for now), the inability to upgrade current Lumia phones to Windows Phone 8, the emphasizing of rival hardware by carriers, and expectations of further losses. Alcatel-Lucent's warning probably isn't helping Nokia's cause either. [View news story]
Alot of emotion from you SSGAJ. And then I checked that Alcatel story, there was alot of that there too... Hehe
