Although its 2010 financial figures - operating profit down 9 percent year-on-year - weren't impressive, there seems to be a feeling of growing confidence at Nokia.
It's particularly focused on its Ovi Store, which is now ticking over at 3.5 million app downloads daily.
Nokia is also keen to point out the store's number one status in China.
Mucho love
With 250 million Nokia users in the country, perhaps that's not surprising. But the graphic below is also demonstrative of the popularity of feature phones over smartphones, although the metric of the percentage of people who 'favour an app store' seems incredibly imprecise.
Certainly it would be more interesting to see the numbers of downloads of the rival stores, as it's well know that smartphone owners consume vastly more content than feature phone owners.
