Nearly 66% of Nokia revenue derived from this division and if the division is sold, Nokia will provide for losses.
If both companies agree, this will be completed by the end of 2011. Actually, if this news is true it is not surprising since Nokia was founded in the 1800s as a paper company and move times before building the first mobile phone that changes direction with their mobile phone division would sell in line with the legacy of this company.
