Actually, the phone division has been making loss for several years now.


which is why i said "was". they really missed the market with smartphones in general. i dont know their backend product line very well. i know they bought out the seimens half of NSN. What else they have, i have no idea.

In other phone-related news, Android 4.4 will be called KitKat. Google seems to have a bit of an obsession with desserts.
