the decline in North America seems worrying at 400.000 devices.. they need to get that up before nobody cares about them in North America anymore.. they can't afford not having a presence there..


Maybe.  But I think the real growth market for all phones is now outside of the West to be honest.


It's a tough call. NA would be tough competitive climb against entrenched Apple and Samsung. Developing markets like Africa or india have more room for growth, but are also more price-sensitive and therefore liable to be less lucrative and more susceptible to being undercut by white box manufacturers with microscopic margins.

At any rate, it's looking like Nokia has a decent chance of surviving this transition. They may never reclaim their crown as the king of mobile, but it least it looks like they might have a place in the new world order. Wish I could say the same of RIM.
