Microsoft pays $8 Billion USD to buy Nokia - Ultimatum - 09-06-2013
It seems the giant and original phone-maker and producer, Nokia, from Finland has turned into the hands of super-giant Microsoft for a hefty price.
Then again, Nokia has made little advancement since the releases of iPhone and Samsung. The speed of technological advancement proved too swift for "brick-old" Nokia to catch up.
What do you guys think?

I really don't see the reason of them buying Nokia. Hopefully, they have somewhat of an idea of what they're doing...

Probably, like Bin4ry said, to rid more competition.

LOL, what competition. Nokia wasn't competitive at all, plus, Nokia doesn't even sell phones. Only the OS's which the new Nokia's were using.
