Nokia is floating on patents' sea.
Nokia current market cap is $40 billion, which makes it a very very big company. The company is going to be a very giant soon.
Current Nokia's cash reserve is $14 billion and ZERO debt.
I hope they can support HMD Global and concur the smartphone arena again. They can, absolutely!

    Shame on you Apple!!!! You think you are the innovator of all time, Nokia has stolen the $2billion from you Apple. Can't you imagine it??!!! The Finnish peoples are smarter than American, but just that they use at the right time when the opponent gets arrogant or weak.

        AnonD-456831, 28 Jul 2017$2b is nothing for apple but already a lot for Nokia. How t... moreI'm from that time and I know how big they were before. I know that back in the day, everybody had a Nokia. But I know that $2B really hurts Apple as their new headquarters, their biggest investment of the last years, costed $5B, and acquiring beats costed $4B. So it's not like if it was peanuts for them. They just know that it's dumb to spend all of their money at once, like almost every other big company and even I think like that personally.

          Every other news with "Apple" in the title is about lawsuits or some kind of patent dispute.

            $2B to throw away before going bankrupt once again. Yeah, makes sense.

                  Nokia signed a deal with the devil. A smartphone market monopoly player know as Apple.

                      Nice. Maybe this will make people realise that Apple are not innovators but a technology chef. They simply take the best technology in the market created by other companies and assemble it.
