Nokia just posted its quarterly results - including shipped devices - and it's not looking good. Massive losses, sales dropping, and no growth in Lumia sales in the US. The company is losing money hand-over-fist, and with Windows Phone 8 still months away, the company warns the next quarter will be just as bad.

You must have missed the part of the initial announcement of the Nokia-MS deal which said that MS will pay Nokia billions of $ over the next few years for development and marketing. Just search the internet for the Nokia-MS deal and you will have plenty of citations.

Excluding the adjustment for the asset write-down, and the holding back of some income related to the launch of its Windows 8 system, Microsoft profits beat those expected by investors.
Shares were up 1.6% after the results were announced.

It ultimately depends how you calculate profit. It is not simply money made - money lost.

Hey, strange coincidence: "Microsoft posts net loss of $492 million for Q4 2012 despite record revenue".
