Finland concerned about Nokia

While the US company Apple is posting record sales of the new iPhone the price of shares in mobile phone producer Nokia has dipped to its lowest level in twelve years. The daily Savon Sanomat expresses concern about the Finnish enterprise: "Nokia really has little time to come up with a 'big hit'. If Apple maintains a steady lead it will be hard if not impossible for Nokia to catch up. The statements of Nokia experts are remarkably superficial. The company has retired to its own little private room. Behind the scenes researchers and product developers are without doubt making a huge effort. But will it be enough? ... Nokia's collapse would be a severe blow for the Finns. It would mean the disappearance of thousands of jobs. So there really is cause to be concerned about the future of our crown jewel."
