Nokia sells its HQ in Finland, to stay there on a lease

04 December, 2012
The operation will help bring €170 million, which should help the troubled company in the short term.

"That Q4 report will make for a pretty interesting read" - you said it! it will be interesting to see how new overpriced platform trys to beat established ones just in 1Q :D. I bet WP8 will have like 3% of market after like a year, and then I think that overpriced Samsungs and HTC WP's get more than superoverpriced nokias. So in Q4 Nokias results there can not be anything different from what we saw before - big operating LOSS

    Am not a nokia fan or android fan. Am also not a samsung fan or apple. Am a tech fan. I'll do my homework 1st before buying them. Am using an android phone for lesst 1year now. I own 3 device made by samsung. To tell you the truth,it's a ok hardware but not the best. N frankly,google android is not that good as people said it was. Am a poweruser. So i know whrch os the best. But not android. It is always microsoft window. I can do so much more with window tablet n phone but not android. Android are laggy no matter how many core you throw at them. Google android is still a baby platform. Still cannot match the stability n fluidlity of ios n window. Am not an ios fan either. But a good os is a good os. I will support nokia not because of it best hardware. But because it running w8 platform. Anyone who own galaxy s3 or note 2,i can proof u guy it will laggy no matter it is qual core.

      If they un-able to choose Android they can't force people to use crappy Dos-like WP, They better get out of business if they're holding the technology advancement process.

      even Meizu the small Chinese company is better and smarter than Nokia.

          Love Nokia.
          But this just finalizes the beginning of the end for a company that was est. in the late 1800s.

                                  even they to the mid-low rang and no problems to announce one high end device every year beside it's main flagships from WP...
