This is how corporate world runs. I am android phone user now, but would never forget how my previous Nokia phones were. It's a sad day for us who loved Nokia for it's innovative approach.

        flop/Elop is a terrorist or a trojan horse.
        Shareholders must not agree to sale the company .
        the price is too low .
        WAZE company of 15 employees was sold at the price of one billion dollars.
        I wish Elop terrorist a lot of losses under the name Microsoft and remembered as the man who destroyed Nokia and one big failure.

                I don't know about others but being from INDIA i am sure Apart from the younger generation that has started owning a mobile only recently, everyone else once surely owned a Nokia phone. Better known for its flawless hardware and outstanding quality.
                FAREWELL NOKIA .
                The "mother" of all the "innovations" that we today see in the mobile industry.

                    Dear Nokia,

                    The only way to win market share is make an android phone. It will boost your market. Please wake up and dont be blind to peoples request and reality.

                          disaster, 04 Sep 2013this news is a 20 richter scale earthquake in whole interne... more"Trojan Horse"?... Is not true!
                          This company has made so many mistakes in the past 5 years, as a minimum invest and expect too much, mostly because of its name "Nokia"
                          Most fans did not even know it, blinded by its own brand name, the Nokia all around so issued.
                          For 5 years, I spoke here on GSMArena, Nokia going to Death, but no one believed me. Now is true!

                              We lost the diamond of the mobile industry. I bought Lumia 925 just because of Nokia, means there's quality behind it. As a Nokia fan, i want Microsoft dead. I'll never forget this day. I'll never ever buy any Microsoft phones no matter if Nokia will be written on them and i suggest everyone to do the same. I replaced my Windows 8 OS with Ubuntu Linux today. Nokia 925 will be my last Nokia phone.. Stephen Elop, you just destroyed the most famed company. I hope you go away and never be seen.. Nokia, we will miss you. You were the first one to give me a phone in my hands which is still in perfect condition. Yes, i am taking about the infamous Nokia 2310. You innovated so much in this mobile industry that no other company can. Goodbye =(

                                    Ah well, guess that's the end of my love affair with Nokia. My 920 is likely going to be the last Nokia branded device I own.

                                    Hopefully Jolla will be widely available by the time my 920 is outdated, otherwise it's Apple for me.

                                    F*ck Microsoft.

                                      New times new changes! For me I'm looking forward to the change, with a new budget let's see what Nokia and MS can do since it is Nokia intelligence behind the new phones from MS! I'll certainly buy the new phones from MS!
