“We continue to face tough competition with respect to the high end of our mobile device portfolio”, said Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo.
He seemed however very satisfied with the free Ovi Maps strategy: “The consumer response to the inclusion of our walk and drive navigation offering on our smartphones has been tremendous. Since launching in January, 10 million Nokia smartphone users around the world have downloaded the offering.”
NAVTEQ’s revenue up 43%
Nokia’s mapping subsidiary NAVTEQ reported €189 million in revenue in the first quarter, up 43 percent against the same quarter the previous year. Non-IFRS operating margins were 21.7%.
NAVTEQ benefited from “growth in mobile device sales, particularly Nokia mobile devices [i.e. 10 million downloads of Ovi Maps in the quarter], and improved conditions in the automotive industry,” said Nokia. Obviously, in the case of Ovi Maps these are intra-company sales that do not change Nokia’s bottom line.

ze schuiven dus gewoon intern met grote geldhoeveelheden om richting de aandeelhouders de aankoop van Navteq en de huidige strategie te verantwoorden.
Zullen de aandeelhouders hierin trappen? het is toch duidelijk dat ondanks al dit hosanna gebrul dat Nokia slechter en slechter draait?
