Nokia Continues To Dominate Windows Phone [View article]
Information about the newcomer Lumia 520 is impressive. I remember that many investors were not excited about Lumia 520 in Mobile World Congress, in February [2013], In Barcelona: they expected something revolutionary to the high price category of Lumia.
However, figures under pies in Jacob's article - (excellent again) - are showing that launching a budget class Lumia was the very right thing. In addition, when other manufacturers - unwisely - are not taking WP seriously, Nokia gets a unique advantage in WP sector. Sooner or later Microsoft will launch same kind of OS in smartphones as the OS that helped Microsoft to win computer OS markets.
Are Nokia's Supply Issues Temporary? [View article]
There are grounds to suspect that Nokia is not able to supply as many Lumia 520s as are demanded by customers. If this is the case, and I think it is, it is more positive than negative thing to Nokia - when thinking the opposite. It is possible that a lot of Lumias will not be sold, because of insufficient supply, but this should not be made bigger problem than what it is.
Nokia is on the right track. Affordable quality is most convincing marketing, bringing user satisfaction - the key to success. When buyers get more than they expected - they will become salesmen of that product.

Totally agree. Lumia 520 seems to be almost perfect in terms of quality versus price. No wonder that buyers are satisfied with it, for example statistics here: http://bit.ly/10QouNU
Lumia Strength Is Being Underestimated [View article]
Is Mr Mark Sue from RBC Capital Markets the one that knows the future? There is a wide dispersion in EPS estimates about Nokia in 2013, e.g.: - Berenberg Bank, Adnaan Ahmad: +0,36 - Needham, Charlie Wolf, +0,25 - Santander GBM, Peinador: +0,19 - Jefferies, Lee Simpson: +0,16 - Northland Securities, Thomas Sepenzis: +0,14 - Oddo Securities, Vincent Maulay: -0,28 - RBC Capital Markets, Mark Sue: -0,30 - Danske Markets, Ilkka Rauvola: -0,32 - Daiwa Securities, Yoko Yamada: -0,34 - ABG Sundal Collier, Per Lindberg: -0,48 Average of these: -0,06
BTW, last time Nokia gave a profit warning, it was a positive warning.

Statscounter's data can be used in lack of more accurate information, keeping in mind the inherent limitations of the data source. It might be more relevant to use Statscounter's Mobile OS data during this period when people are widely switching to smartphones from ordinary mobile phones.
We know that Nokia's Lumia sales have made about 80 % of Windows Phone statistics.
We also have more or less reliable estimates how popularity of mobile OS market shares are developing, and how much sales of smartphones will increase. Based on that information anybody can make an estimate about Nokia smartphone sales with ceteris paribus assumption. Statscounter's data can corroborate our estimates/conclusions.
Nice to see "life is [for] short". If you cannot win them, join them. Ethically ? but human feature to want butter on bread. Guess, harmagedon, so good luck, and be eagles gentle..
Nokia Or BlackBerry, Who Dies First? [View article]
I count on MSFT's interest to keep NOK alive whatever happens. BBRY is on its own in this respect. However, buyers of mobiles make the final decision. Thus both companies should make their best to impress the buyers - with desirable products. It is good for competition that as many mobile producers as possible will be supplying smart devices.
Both NOK an BBRY have much to win/lose in the business sector. Hre NOK is likely to strongly challenge BBRY.

Thank you for for correcting. I bought my Nokia Lumia 920 in November 2012 at 599,00 euros. Anyway, better value for money in Lumia 935 compared to Lumia 920.

Lumia 925 looks more an alternative version to Lumia 920 than the flagship of the year. It is the light (75%) version of Lumia 920 (100%); many people have criticized Lumia 920 because of heaviness. The price of the phone is more competitive (Nokias price 469 euros vs. 649 euros of Lumia 920). Then there are the technical improvements.
Like many other, I am still expecting to see the Lumia with The camera!

Nokia is a great company, because it does not make compromises: it sells quality products with great features at a price that makes a buyer feel a winner. There are reasons why Nokia's share price decreased, but Nokia knows now these reasons, and shifts gears.
