The Finnish manufacturer has recognized their losses in the first quarter of disastrous, but it is still hoped that he could extricate himself from a difficult financial situation.
How does Nokia is going to do it, even if the iPhone is earning more than their WP-communicators?
According to official figures, in the first quarter 2012 Nokia net loss amounted to 590 million euros, operating - 1.3 billion, while sales of smartphones have been halved, and in all markets at once. Also today it was reported that the Finnish manufacturer has ceased to be known as the largest mobile company in the world, and leadership caught the Korean Samsung.
Against the background of news reports that Apple's licensing of Nokia brings more money than the realization of its own smartphone, it just seems shocking. It turns out that the sale of licenses, "fruit" of the empire Nokia recently earned $ 600 million. These patents are used in the manufacture of iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S.
If Nokia can not get on the profitability of the trade WP-smart phones, the company is likely to transform your business mobile manufacturer in a patent licensor or even sell the patent portfolio, for example, Microsoft.
