  • Cash reserve is still  4.2 billion euros ($5.2 billion) which is good considering Analysts’ worse expectations.
  • Lumia sales exceeded Analyst’s expectations at 4 million units.
  • EUR 400 million pre-payments from existing IPR licenses.
  • Nokia filed more patents in the first half of 2012 than any previous six month period since 2007.
