I think they have a LOT bigger issues than their idcc problems. Perhaps to clarify...I would say that IDCC lawsuit to them would be like you fighting your electric bill for the month...you don't want to pay the high rates that the electric company charges you and might fight it, but at the end of the day your electric bill is not going to bankrupt you. Be carefull that your power doesn't get shut off however.

no way the stock is getting hurt because an impending ban or a payment to idcc is antipcated!!! if that were the case, why isnt the positive of that affecting IDCC?

it is getting hurt because the company has products that no one is interested in buying. there was a brief interest in the lumina this year, but that has waned and no one is interested in using their phones or holding on to their stock.

stop with the rose colored glasses

mickeybritt: NOKIA's decline in share price is NOT THE RESULT OF a huge disbursement of cash to IDCC or any anticipation of a ban.

It is the result of continued decline in sales, cheaper products being brought to the market with smaller margins, and many bad decisions by the prior administration on the direction of the company.

IF I were Nokia's Elop, I would ramp up production of their phones for import to the USA. I would manufacture millions and millions of their best phone lines and ship them to the USA before any ban is implemented (if implemented at all).

I don't think a 'ban' could stop the sale of existing invnetories already in the USA; rather, it could stop importation of additional phones as of the date of the import ban.

Once on the shelves of AT&T, Verizon, WalMart, Best-Buy, and other retailers, I doubt whether they would pull them off their shelves and stop selling the Nokia phones.

By the time the import ban would be in effect, NOKIA would be manufacturing a new version of the phone, probably under a 'partnership' with some US company, and labelled under their name. or not using IDCC technology!

Wishful thinking. Nokia's stock rose on expectations and dropped on performance results...plain and simple.

Any thoughts on this as I kind of believe its the pending ITC determination, could be wrong.
