szerintem is. ilyen utemben hamar eltapsolja a penzt.
In the last quarter, Microsoft paid $250 million to Nokia. Nokia claims to have shipped 1 million Windows phones. It is not known how many of these phones are still sitting in inventory and how many were actually bought by consumers. In any case, it amounts to Microsoft paying Nokia $250 per phone.
...
It appears that a large number of phones that Nokia shipped were Lumia 700 series. You can typically buy these phones for about $50 with a contract. The Lumia 710 that a consumer bought for $50 cost Microsoft $230; it’s ironic for a company that once was the king of software.
