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

"Our broad strategic agreement with Microsoft includes platform support payments from Microsoft to us as well as software royalty payments from us to Microsoft," Nokia said in its results. "We have a competitive software royalty structure, which includes minimum software royalty commitments."

"According to Nokia's Q4 results, which were released this week, Microsoft paid Nokia $250 million to use Windows Phone 7. Described by Nokia as a "platform support payment," this isn't a one time thing. According to SlashGear's Chris Davies, who was first to pick up on the figure, there will be more payments made by Microsoft. The eventual figure is thought to be more than one billion dollars."
