Such a shame trojan horse Elop tanked the company by partnering with Microsoft, I'd have loved to see more of their Linux based phones, I've still got a Nokia N9 which has to be my favourite handset so far.<p>I hope Ubuntu for phones can gain at least some traction.
This is not a comeback. This is a once-famous name being reused, it seems.<p>Imagine if Apple went out if business and then "returned" with an Android phone.
Yeah...the name nokia has been licensed to a couple of different consumer devices. the only remnant of the old nokia that still exits is a networking device company that makes infrastructure for data and cell networks.<p>these are not the droids you are looking for...
Nokia has only themselves to blame for the downfall of their brand. There was a time then a Nokia phone was a status symbol. Now it's a gimmick at best.<p>If they didn't jump on a DOA platform and instead concentrated on the high-end Android market, they would still be #1 or #2 in Europe at least. Now they now collect paltry licensing fees on a yet another Foxconn phone, which judging by specs is obsolete anyway.
They're not coming back. Being a smartphone OEM is a massive money sink with little upside unless you're the #1 or #2 player in a market. Wearables, VR, health, etc are the next targets for Nokia.
It's good to see they have Android 7. It shows a lack of product management savvy at most OEMs that they don't get that delivering up-to-date Android might be a key advantage in selling Android phones.
This looks like another "Alcatel" phone, a classic brand inside comoditized hw.<p>I would pay to have android running my Nokia lumia phones. (like someone manage to get onto the lumia 525).
