Wall Street Journal reports on market rumors that Samsung, of all
companies, is preparing a bid for Nokia. Asked for comment, spokesmen
for both companies have said they will not be interrupted on market
speculation, but it is standard operating procedure.
Nokia's
debt recently was downgraded on two levels, citing the tough transition
period for Windows Nokia Phone. Suddenly, the company issued a profit
warning also crashing stock price, and carry current market
capitalization of $ 24 billion.
Samsung, by contrast, is out
some popular gadgets like the Samsung S II Galaxy and Galaxy tab 10.1,
so I see a good strategy setting where we look at this. Of course,
Samsung will acquire all of Nokia's patents, which will demand easy to
fight Apple, but Samsung's CEO has already said it will not be "legally
problematic" as it is.
If Samsung is preparing to make an
offer related to Nokia, would be for participating in the Nokia Siemens
Networks (NSN) risk, not the mobile phone division. The Finns are
reportedly looking to spin off anyway, though CEO JKShin and said they
had not considered a purchase NSN. Once again, it's all rumors and
speculation, a source named. Eldar Murtazin already sold the division
of Nokia mobile phones to Microsoft for 19 million not long ago, and
later claimed that the Finns were asking $ 25 billion, while CEO
Stephen Elop called the rumors "baseless."
Who knows, it might
be brewing something about Nokia, after all, and all these rumors may
be part of a diversion plan, said the conspiracy theorist. The haste
with which they move from Nokia to WP7 was announced a year before
actually going to produce anything of substance, and the profit warning
that crashed the price of the further actions are in his favor.
