That fee that msft charges to liscence is kicking "nope"ia's ass

Your streak of constantly being wrong when you post keeps on going...

Their shares fell because emerging markets did not buy Symbian and dumb phones as much as Nokia anticipated. Lumia and Windows phones are exceeding expectations and have sold over 2 million devices in the last 3 months.

Here is something you should read before you post again -

I think that I'm talking with somebody that's as dense as mud here.  You realize that msfts fees won't contradict any reason you are giving behind nokia's woes correct? Do you even realize that nokia's margins are going to be squeezed by this fee? Finally, are you still looking forward to owning a phone from a failure of a company? I know that you are a WP7 fan, just seeing what your plans are

When all is said and done, Microsoft pays Nokia 250,000,000 dollars every quarter to make windows phones. Nokia pays microsoft 0 dollars to make windows phones.

I don't even know why I even bother replying to you since your knowledge on this matter is severly lacking.

You realize that as of December 2011, Nokia has 12 billion dollars of cash in the bank. They could lose money like they are now for 10 years and still remain afloat as a company. So yeah, as a Nokia Windows Phone owner, I will be just fine in the near future.

Why don't you go check how Android mobile divisions for OEMs like Sony Ericson, LG and Motorolla are doing cash wise lately. They are even bigger failures than Nokia.
