Update: Just a bit of trivia, Nokia sold over 10 N95’s per minute in 2Q 2007.
The following updates below are from the conference call, which I’m listening to right now and you can listen to for yourself at this link once it is over.
- 5 million Nokia 6300’s were sold in this quarter!
- 50% of devices sold this quarter cost 50 Euros or less. If we assume that half the devices sold cost 50 Euros than to maintain that 90 Euro ASP the other half of those 100.8 million units had an average selling price of 130 Euros
- Nokia thinks that 4 billion mobile subscribers will happen in 2010
- Nokia is the 5th most popular brand in the world (they were number 6 last year)
- 3Q and 2Q product portfolio will be largely the same; this doesn’t mean no new products will be announced in 3Q, it just indicates that they will not be available in mass until 4Q most likely
- OPK: “This is a very competitive industry, just because Motorola is down it doesn’t mean they are out. They are a very active player in the market place.” (paraphrased)
