Nokia sells its HQ in Finland, to stay there on a lease - read the full textNokia's financials aren't what you'd call great lately, and as a result the company is selling its headquarters building in Espoo, Finland for €170 million. The deal is expected to be finalized by the end of the year, but the company has no plans to move out afterwards. Instead it will lease...

You say you are an S60 fan, so you want to tell us that if we were smarter we would use S60, all of us, because its superior? Wow, i usually want to try new stuff but i dont wanna try whatever it is you are smoking.

Android is superior and has the superior devices, theres no denying it, Jelly Bean and NOte 2 is the combination that is taking the smartphones to new heights, the smoothness and speed and stability is nothng less than stella, and i say that as someone who only 2 months ago said i will never buy a samsung. But guess what? I know better now, Samsung is currently the undisputed champion of cellphones and Android is the best os by far, and THATS why we use Android, and THATS why Samsung is biggest. Now look at the sales of your S60 and WP, the word "pathetic" doesnt quite cover it.

Have you even seen the difference in low light pictures ? And it cost less than ip5. Kids like you dont have strength to lift 185 gms. But isnt an iphne weighs the same with the case ? What you have done ,is that you have taken the negatives and exaggerated it . Stop it ! L920 wins in screen, camera ,maps ,build,call quality.

Whats the similarity between NOKIA and a lower-middle class family in a 3rd world country: They both sell their households and dine out at a 5 star hotel. :)

Poor Nokia...they tried to make Windows Mobile well-known as other os because less people using it, but people blame Nokia because not using Android os.. to much phone using Android os..looks like Android user dont want any other os become popular

Nokia should swallow their pride and join the Android trend. That is the only way they will bounce back to the competition. The earlier the better!!!

I think its better for NOKIA,market Andriod Phone, before this Google Owns NOKIA. Nokia must start Andriod, and why not Samsung also market Windows Phone.

I have a Lumia 900 and being a Nokia S60 fan (and not being a Windows fan) I must admit that they have done a good job. I seriously considered the alternatives.

There are some userfriendliness stuff that they went backwards on, which they try so solve one by one.

Nokia's ovi maps has directed me around in various countries and even in my own I found it to be the most reliable.

I played with Android phones and came to the conclusion they are not as user-friendly. # of us could not figure out how to install whats ap on two of these phones and gave up.

You see, Nokia phones are solid, their phylosophies are solid, they're mature and they give excellent customer service. That is their DNA.

Now, why on earth running after Andriod just because everybody else does?
