Isn't it too late to tell your audience to sell NOK? You should have told them at least a year ago if you didn't how how successful iPhone were. I hope you are not telling your paid subscriber to buy NOK while pretending to bash it here.

I agree with thethreestooges that this seems to be too late to tell Nokia investors it is time to sell. If the writing was on the wall, as you seem to be indicating in this message, then why were you not saying to sell when it recently went over $7 a share? The review also really seems to be shallow and does not match what other analysts are saying about Nokia. The Windows Community is still solidly in place in the business world and friends and relatives I know who are using the new Windows phone os are very pleased with it. Reviews of the new Nokia phones have also been very good. You also ignore other parts of the Nokia portfolio which are substantial. It really makes me wonder about your true motives for bashing this stock at this particular time.
