This is said to be Nokia's first quarterly loss in over a decade.This is mainly due to a goodwill write down for Nokia Siemens Networks (1.17 Billion Euros). Nokia's devices and service division's profits were EUR 785 million, up 3% from the previous quarter, but down 50% year on year. There has been a 20% drop in sales year over year mainly due to recession. This loss highlights the fact that Nokia haven't been able to bring better handsets faster to the market than it's competitors. Another problem is the lack of trust of the brand in North America where Apple has captured a huge market share with the iPhone.  Nokia is seeing great growth in Europe and Middle East. Asia saw 30.5 million units being shipped and this is the Finnish handset maker's  stronghold. They shipped 4.5 million Nokia Nseries phones and 4.4 million Nokia Eseries phones during the third quarter 2009, down from the combined 9.3 million figure in Q2 2009.
