Why Value Investors Are Missing an Opportunity With Nokia

Mark Riddix submits: Microsoft just unveiled its new Windows Phone 7.

Nokia sold 5.6 million Lumia phones in the first quarter of 2013, the company said yesterday in an earnings call. That's a new high and a 27% increase from the fourth quarter, when Nokia sold 4.4 million Lumia phones.

Joel West submits: There is plenty to say about Nokia’s (NOK) decision to phase out Symbian in favor of the-operating-system-formerly-known-as-Windows-Mobile.

ByTiming Best Buy: Introduction

By George Kesarios:Every company experiences drawbacks and makes mistakes now and then, and Nokia is no exception. Apple (AAPL) made one of the biggest blunders in corporate history, when in the early years, they allowed Microsoft to rule the operating system space. Look where Apple is today .. who would have imagined.

By Qineqt:Research in Motion (RIMM) has seen its sales diminish over the last few quarters. As the company looks towards the BB10 to revive its fortunes, margins are consistently going down. RIMM has announced that it will invest in a developer's forum, but considering the established forums of Android and the iOS, this news may be too late in coming.

By Ron Sommer: It is hardly news to make the observation that the use of smart phones is proliferating throughout the world. Rather than trying to pick which gadget manufacturer may introduce the next blockbuster handset using any of the several mobile operating systems, it may be wiser to look at the manufacturers of the chipsets used by the handset manufacturers.

Trefis submits: The people have spoken, and Research in Motion’s ballyhooed BlackBerry Torch smartphone is officially…not an instant hit. RIM (RIMM) only sold 150,000 Torches during the first weekend after the phone’s August 12 launch.
