It is a telling sign of Nokia's desperation
that their press release goes into great detail
on how they are being reimbursed by Microsoft's
"platform support" money, but mentions nothing
specific about their expectations for their
actual future sales and upcoming products. It
looks as if the support from Microsoft is the
only income they can be reasonably sure of
maintaining going forward.
Their statement "the $250 million quarterly
payments are expected to total in the range
of billions over the course of our deal with MS"
says absolutely nothing more than "we expect
our current deal with MS to last for at least
somewhat longer than a year", which is really
not a lot more than it already has.
Sad. Really sad. When will Nokia implode?

> minimum software royalty commitments.
This allows Microsoft to claim WP7 licence 'sales' even if the phones haven't
been made.
The next question is: does the 'platform support' only cover WP7 or is it for
WP8 as well ?
