Stealing Nokia

Microsoft acquired Nokia very recently.. and it is a steal with Microsoft paying less for Nokia than what it pays for Skype. Does this mean that Microsoft is about to kill the Nokia brand and position itself to better compete with Apple?

Although one thing Microsoft can learn from Google and Apple is that  that having a lot of money is not enough to succeed in the mobile OS wars. Another thing it can learn from Blackberry is that the enterprise mobile segment is dead.

If Nokia was purchased by Microsoft for 7.5B$, what value can be made of out Blackberry? 1$ for Blackberry, anyone?

Microsoft should get out of the premium smart phone war and focus on cheap phones where Nokia is still the market leader before Chinese phone makers dominates that space.
