The net gain to Nokia from Microsoft-Nokia deal worth $7.17 billion will be around $4.2 billion.

Nokia will get enough cash to run Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN). Nokia owns 100 percent stake in NSN. It is not known whether NSN will be sold at a later stage.

Nokia will retain the world famous brand.

Nokia will be free from competing with Samsung and Apple. Microsoft will play in a new turf. There will be more speculation that Microsoft could buy BlackBerry as well.

Nokia on Tuesday said it would focus on three areas – mobile broadband NS; mapping HERE; and technology development and licensing.

Risto Siilasmaa, chairman of Nokia, will be the interim CEO as Stephen Elop will be returning back to Microsoft to head Nokia devices business.

Approximately 32,000 people will move to Microsoft, including approximately 4,700 people in Finland. ( Microsoft buys Nokia devices for $7.17 billion in cash )

Nokia will grant Microsoft a 10 year non-exclusive license to its patents.

Microsoft will grant Nokia reciprocal rights related to HERE services.

Nokia will grant Microsoft an option to extend this mutual patent agreement to perpetuity.

Nokia has posted 20 percent decrease in Q4 2012 income to €8.041 billion from €10.005 billion in Q4 2011.

Microsoft is expected to become one of the top three customers of HERE.
