the "Smart Phones are only for big business and the rich" was a critical error for sure. They really need to turn it around and i'm not sure commiting to the windows system was the right choice unless of course gates is going to buy the company

Nokia are in trouble, but it won't go out of business simply because they aren't selling a model in the US. The majority of their business was always based in Europe. The biggest problem is not having a great OS. Symbian started out as cutting edge, but was overtaken some years ago and never caught up. Nokia's problem was not admitting this and then compounding this error by not jumping on board the android operating system as Sony did. Using two different operating systems is messy and Symbian is well behind. App based telephony is now a runaway train and Nokia have missed the train. That is why they are losing money.

Finnish handset maker Nokia Corp. (NOK) Friday said it will defend itself against a class action suit brought against the company in the United States.

The class action was filed by U.S.-based law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP on Thursday, at the Southern District Court of New York.

In a statement, Robbins Geller said Nokia has misled investors by claiming that its transition to using Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows Phone operating systems for its smartphones would halt the company's deteriorating position in the smartphone market.

"It did not. This became apparent on April 11, 2012, when Nokia disclosed that its first-quarter performance would be worse than expected," Robbins Geller said in the statement.

Nokia said its reviewing the suit, adding however that it believes that the allegations "are without merit" and that it will defend itself against the complaint.

Robbins Geller said it seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Nokia's shares.

It will be danger for ay business if this rather silly class action succeeds. Why would any business take a step forward if it was at risk of being sued? Litigation happy society is not healthy in the long term. Investing in shares is a risk based investment. They can go down as well as up, a fact that was not understood in the 1930's and an act that these lawyers fail to understand now. If companies are not allowed to take leaps forward then you will see very little further growth in the technology market as much is untested. There is no such thing as a 'no risk' strategy.

I don't know, but when I'm back in the Philippines, I'm going to be picking one up. Nokia is huge there. I'm sad it hadn't been released yet, as I was just there for the past month. I like nokia. I like my iPhone too, but you'd have to be dumb to walk around with one of those everywhere there. my E72 and my N8 needs a good partner. I really want this phone.

Same here. I'm not even bothered about the Phone feature, but just for discrete HQ snapping.

It's obvious, IMHO: They don't want to sell too many of them before they have transferred the technology to a phone that runs a less antique operating system.

Let us not forget, however, that Nokia is rumored to be working on next-gen Windows Phone 8 devices of its own. One of these devices is said to be codenamed Nokia Prodigy, and rumor has it that it will be far superior when compared to Windows Phone devices of today.
