Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NOK) Aiming for Research in Motion Ltd. (BBRY)

Page 2 of 2

The advantage that Nokia has isn’t just the loyalty of Windows by IT directors, but it’s also the business-friendly mobile experience with the ability to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint on the Windows phones. This can help with smooth sychronization with a company’s desktop or laptop computers in the office, which can be handy in this new BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) enterprise culture.

Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) CEO Stephen Elop was asked recently about whether the company would have interest in acquiring Research in Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ:BBRY) to strengthen its market share, he said, “When I get asked that question, my answer is ’I’m interested in their customers,’” he said at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week. “It’s a really perfect moment to go after that marketplace.” There is no reprot that suggests that BlackBerry is even for sale at this point.

What do you think? Is Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) taking the right approach to gain market share, and can Research in Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ:BBRY) – er, BlackBerry, Ltd. – withstand the attack with its new BB10 operating system? Do you think Nokia should consider making an offer for BlackBerry? (Nokia has an U.S. market cap of $14 billion, while BlackBerry is at about $6.5 billion.) Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
