At this point, it looks as if two drowning mobile efforts are trying to save each other. Will they go down, or help buoy each other?

 O?O

The quarter was about as bad as it gets for Nokia. Net sales of €9.275 billion were down 7% compared to a year earlier, and the company reported an operating loss of €487 million. A year ago, it reported an operating profit of €295 million.

I didn't like the Microsoft-Nokia relationship because it sounded more like a bribe than a relationship. Now look what happened. Discuss.
