Purple, I think you got that right - assuming that the relative total market unit sales remains unchanged and that we have the others all signed. This would tend to increase our revenues as you suggest.

Purplengold:Are you serious?

You said: "The fewer phones nokia sells, the less the volumn discounts they get...and therefor, in theory, will pay more per phone."

So your theory of business is that selling less units at more per unit is good for the seller?

So if I sell 100 hamburgers for $1 profit each, you think that is better than selling 200 hamburgers for $.75 profit each?

No one would give volume discounts if it resulted in lower profits overall. More per phone isn't the measure, it is the overall profits achieved. And like it or not the more phones NOK sells, the more $$$ they owe us.

This isn't really a complicated financial/business concept.

If this is your theory of business, with all due respect, I would seriously consider giving my money to a financial advisor and let them make all investment decisions. No disrespect intended.
