Wedbush maintains a 'Neutral' on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) price target lowered from $4.50 to $3.25.

Analyst, Scott Sutherland, said, "We continue to believe 2012 will be a crucial year as Nokia continues to manage its transition to Windows Phone (Nasdaq: MSFT). While we are lowering our estimates as we see modest demand for Nokia’s current smartphone lineup and encroachment by low-cost competitors in emerging markets, we believe upcoming Windows 8 devices will be a critical determining factor of Nokia’s success in its turnaround. Until then, we maintain our neutral stance."

FY12 EPS estimate lowered from (0.19) to (0.21) and FY13 cut from $0.09 to $0.05. FY12 revs lowered from $42.3 bln to $41.5 bln and FY13 from $42.6 bln to $41.4 bln.
