Buddy, can you spare $2 for a share of Nokia?

Why investors shouldn't wait till $1 price on share or even less for that matter?

While I hate the term "Droid," it stuck. MS on the other hand has no such luck with WP8, or any other iteration of their new Metro UI. It would take a Herculean marketing effort on the scale of Apple to make WP8 take off like the Droid campaign did.

I was trying to reply to Aeires but, my iPhone 4S won't let me (should I be on wi-fi?).

Maybe Microsoft should change the name of WM8 to Windowless 8; it might help in creating disassociation? Or, maybe Nokia should just change its' name to sLokia?

For their part, Nokia has done a wonderful job in making the transition to Microsoft OS. They were able to create good-looking handsets in the likes of Lumia 800/900 as well as the lower end 610.

The real fish kill is Microsoft's announcement of Windows 8 and the inability of current MS devices to update to the newest OS. MS is the real traitor against OEMs, I think its best for Ballmer to get himself a fish bowl and dip his shinny head.

this is the time for nokia to realise that android os is the only solution for its problems

Nokia phone+android os is a killer combination

not a chance of it happening though. Nokia would want to replace Google for default maps and probably not possible. Likewise, google wouldn't work with nokia on some of this stuff. Plus, the impression i got (from a 7 page bloomberg businessweek interview with Elop and other nokia execs - do a web search and you'll find it) is that Google were fairly dismissive when approached by Nokia back in 2010 when Nokia were evaluating meego/Windows phone/ android. So much so i even think had MS not been so happy to work with nokia, they probably would have gone MeeGo before Android.

The name is too big to fail, so if they can't right the ship themselves, somebody else will come in and do it. Some venture firm will eat it up just off brand recognition alone if Elop can't get it figured out or the board kicks him out first.

Either way, this stock is a steal right now.

Thanks, Mr. Cramer!

I am all in on buying Nokia stock. It is not just that I believe in WP (which I agree with everyone that Metro OS would have been a more fun name), and it isn't just that I think Nokia make high quality hardware and really fun apps. It is not that I think it is still a great union of two techs that compliment each other and that I still believe Nokia will benefit and recover.

Even if they get bought out, you make money on the stock.

Recovery? What exactly will they recover to? Nokia used to be a world leader in mobile phone tech. They controlled there own handset and os manufacture and had a worldwide footprint with sales and their app store. They've pretty much given all their innovative tech to ms or dismantled it. So what's left to recover to? Simply put nokia is now just Redmonds beyotch and that's all they can ever hope to be.
