Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) price target lowered to $5.00.

Analyst, T. Michael Walkley, said, "We are lowering our estimates ahead of Nokia’s Q1/12 earnings report as our checks indicate weak Symbian sales, seasonally soft feature phone sales, and a slow ramp in Windows smartphones. Due to our expectations for a sharp decline in Symbian smartphone sales during 2012 combined with our belief that a competitive smartphone market will result in a steady but slow ramp in Windows smartphone volume, we believe 2012 remains a challenging transitional year for Nokia."

Walkley lowers FY12 EPS estiamte from $0.05 to (0.03) and FY13 from $0.54 to $0.40.
