    It would be good if Nokia or HMD or whatever name they're going to give to new phones which are coming out next year will have a totally different technology other than Windows or Android.

        I can't see Nokia making it in this over saturated market the only companies that can turn a profit are Samsung, apple and mid range Chinese brands like huawei.

              The latest Nokia feature phones are good phones for those who need or want only a simple phone. They are reliable, easy to operate and they don't need to be charged everyday. I don't think there will be any difference from what Microsoft came up with of Nokia feature phones and what Foxconn will come up with. Let there be feature phones, we have smartphones enough.

                        it is very clear that HMD will be working with the smartphone division while Foxconn is on the feature phones division, what's so not clear about that?

With the hardware, Nokia stayed always bad (processors obsolete, small RAM, bad cameras). The official excuse was "symbian does not need many resources". Interestingly, Microsoft brought identical excuse in conjunction with Windows OS.

                                The Taiwanese ZTE Axon 7 (2 SIM, SD820, 4GB, 64GB, 2k screen, fingerprint) sells now for $350. Are you willing to pay $550 for a Chinese Nokia with identical specs?

                                  For symbian, Nokia use to handle their app store, named Ovi. For whatever unknown (me) reason, nova days the Ovi store it's managed by... Opera! Yes, the guys with the opera browser.
                                  The new Ovi store it's here: http://store.ovi.com/
