> So what happens to the rest of Nokia?

Nokia keeps the other two divisions.

Nokia is now primarily a telecoms infrastructure company, like Alcatel-Lucent. They're pretty closely matched. Alcatel-Lucent had €14.4 billion of revenues in 2012, while Nokia Siemens Networks took in €13.1 billion of revenues.

There's also the mapping division, but that's just 10% of the new Nokia's revenues. I'm surprised Microsoft did not buy it, as Google and Apple both own their own maps. In fact, I wonder if the mapping division wasn't what scuttled the previous attempts to reach a deal.

> Nokia Siemens Networks

NSN is no longer Nokia Siemens Networks; it's Nokia Solutions and Networks now, and Siemens is no longer part of it.

The deal closed in August 2013. It would have been inaccurate to refer to it as Nokia Solutions and Networks when giving 2012 results.
