MKM Partners reiterates a 'Sell' on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) price target of $1.50.

Analyst, Michael Genovese, said, "We found yesterday’s introduction of the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 models to be disappointing due to fairly undifferentiated “me too” smartphone performance and a lack of specific details about launch timing, carrier partners and pricing. We maintain our negative outlook on Windows Phone demand, as we see little happening to make high-end consumers want to own Windows Phone products."

Genovese believes NOK will end up negatively pre-announcing by the end of the month. Also, cash burn rate will probably move higher (from EUR400M to EUR500M) in Q3 vs. EUR13M in Q2.
