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.

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2012That's funny because you seem to be capable of reading but ... moreThat's funny because you compare Samsung and Apple to Kias and Hyundais. In the US Nokia sells their Lumia 920 for $449, it's actually $399 now WITHOUT CONTRACT, YET while it's so cheap they still can't get rid of inventory. While the Samsung Galaxy S retails for $599-699 depending on store, the iphone 5 retails for $649-799 depending on storage yet both seem to run out and sell a lot more. Care to explain this? Both are older devices than the Lumia 920. Again how is Nokia Mozart? Mozart makes beautiful pieces. Nokia has one design. They're the new Motorola. Motorola RAZR anyone? LOL.

The R Kelly comparison is purely subjective and while you may see them this way I see them more like Leonard Cohen who's pleased in letting kiki mimaj or titer take care of your teenagers(and speaking of teenagers I bet many don't dream at kias or hyundays)

          AnonD-12210, 06 Dec 201214 yrs of sheer dominance . How would u explain that ? But ... moreLOL, again. 14 years of dominance because there was no competition. You can tout "glory days" or "glory futures" all you want but that wont' be happening. Shows how weak nokia is, they balk and buckle under any sign of pressure. LOL lets compare then shall we? Nokia in it's "glory days". Funny how you accuse me of "coming up with explanations", yet that seems to be what you're doing constantly. "Wait until next quarter", "wait until the Lumia 1020", "wait until windows phone 8.5". Haven't you heard that even analyst are changing their predictions of Windows tablets. Nokia is basically giving away their Lumia devices, including free wireless changing plates, yet sales are so piss poor. I'm not a hater, I own the 920. I like the device but the OS ruins my experience with it.

U would come up with a lot more hate explainations. And comparing previous yrs sales with that of today is wrong. Those days smartphones sales were less as compared. Btw people would still like the N95 anyways.Nokia is the mozart of smartphne world and no Justin bieber or Psy can match it.

                  AnonD-85625, 05 Dec 2012WP will never pay off. It won´t help NOKIA to survive... moreYes, your suggestion is a good way out for Nokia to survive and rise again to the TOP, even if Nokia doesn't want to use Droid.

                  Nokia cannot depend solely on WP8 and must give it's costumers several choices (no other way): WP8, Nokia OS formerly Symbian, Sailfish, & other OSes that Nokia wants, and people will still buy Nokia's products. That way Nokia will survive. This is a simple remedy for Nokia. Just immediately renew the Management and excecute the plan B. Never too late.

Just because Nokia is the oldest, mozart it makes them not. If anything they're just R Kelly, an old washed out singer with one of two hits under his belt trying to hang with the younger generation.

If getting rid of WP8 is what you want, instead of Lagdroid I would choose meego again or Jolla Sailfish

                                        Well they were warned, and warned again.... but yet they still went through with the deal with MS...

                                        I gave them 5 years of survival 2 years ago, I really hope they last 3 more years!

                                        Nokia if you're reading this....

                                        Go back look at the N7 and esp the N700 designs, stick a linux based distro and gain 25% growth in only 12 months!

                                        If that means supporting android, do it! if you don't you're going to be back to a corner street where you probably began.

                                        Get a linux based OS, if Intel have the guts to do it, team up with them, reclaim the market and and then sell WP's as inferior seconds.
