Came across this story, and I felt it was worth bringing up:
Nokia shares soar 6% in Finland on rumor of Samsung bid
Two quick observations:
1) This makes way more sense than any Microsoft buying Nokia rumor. Samsung has deep enough pockets, has a very ambitious desire to own every aspect of the markets they are in, could use Nokia's patents, and is already a worldwide hardware company that could make Nokia an efficient company. Throw in that the first steps of restructuring is being accomplished by Nokia (the shedding of Symbian, the trimming of layers of management and redundant jobs, streamlining production), and this may be unlikely, but not impossible.
2). So far, no denial from Nokia or Samsung has been issued.
Without meaning to say I think it will happen, just hypothetical: Good or bad Thing? How does WP fit into this idea? How do other manufacturers respond?
This kind of stuff opens so many avenues of discussion!!
