If the sale goes through, Nokia might raise some €200 million ($265 million).

Permira is a European private equity firm which advises funds with a committed capital of approximately €20 billion.

Vertu is a luxury brand which sells limited edition devices with prices as high as several hundred thousand dollars.

That $265 million won't save Nokia, but it will definitely come in handy for the Finnish giant, which recently reported a $1.8 billion loss for Q1 2012.
