Nokia reveals Net loss of $1.2 bn Double than expected

The world leader in the manufacture of mobile phones, Nokia of Finland, reported a quarterly net loss of 929 million euros ($1.2 billion) in the first quarter of the year was far beyond the loss of 554 million euros broadly expected by analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires.

Sales fell by 30 percent on a 12-month comparison to 7.354 billion euros, and this figure was in line with analysts' expectations.
Shortly after the results were announced, the price of shares in Nokia was showing a gain of 1.0 percent in an overall Helsinki market which had advanced by 1.2 percent.
"We are navigating through a significant company transition in an industry environment that continues to evolve and shift quickly, Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop said.
"Over the last year we have made progress on our new strategy, but we have faced greater than expected competitive challenges," he said.

The Finnish company is undergoing a major restructuring, phasing out its Symbian line of smartphones in favour of a partnership with Microsoft that has produced a first line of Lumia smartphones.
Nokia is depending heavily on the new phones to help maintain its ranking as the world's biggest maker of mobile phones as it operates in a rapidly changing landscape with RiM's Blackberry, Apple's iPhone and handsets running Google's Android platform take growing bites out of its market share.
