Nokia: Mobile Phone Sales Falling--Fast

Nokia, the world’s top cell phone manufacturer, said Thursday that sales of mobile phones are shrinking faster than expected as consumers cut spending, Reuters reports.

“Consumers are continuing dramatically to cut back their spending,” Rick Simonson, Nokia’s Chief Financial Officer, said at the company’s investor day in New York, according to the article. “We’re facing it across the world. What’s recently accelerated is the slowdown in emerging markets.”

Analysts are expecting Nokia to cut sales forecasts further than the five percent the company has already cited publicly.
