Nokia filed 2002 form 20F with the SEC on 2/7/03
Nokia filed 2003 form 20F with the SEC on 2/6/04


While you are mentioning "tea leaves", I'll throw some more out there --

1) NOK filed their 20-F in the past 2 yrs. during the first few days of February yet this year no filing has been made -- might NOK be adjusting their PROVISIONS for possible 3G payments in 2005 & 2006?
2) IDCC hasn't announced 4th qtr. earnings yet even thought the deadline is 3/15 -- could some 2G money potentially being received by NOK in the near future need to be booked for 2004?
3) And on 1/27/05 (interesting date) a press release from Nokia - Nokia Board of Directors will propose that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board to resolve to repurchase a maximum of 443 200 000 Nokia shares. The shares may be repurchased in order to carry out the stock repurchase plan. In addition, the shares may be repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the Company, to finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, to settle the Company's equity-based incentive plans, to be transferred for other purposes, or to be cancelled. The shares may be repurchased either through a tender offer made to all shareholders on equal terms, or through public trading from the market, including also the use of certain derivative, share lending or other arrangements.
