NOKIA as a company was never banned, as they do not make Nokia phones anymore, they work at enterprise level, networks and such. hmd Global licesend the Nokia devices and patents and they are also making the phones. As for that perticular patent, VOLTE works with no problem without it, so it was more of a scandal then actual problems that are worth talking about. An their devices returned quite fast in stores.

                                        You do realize that isn't Nokia right? HMD =/= Nokia. Different companies. HMD uses Nokia's name to make phones since Nokia hasn't made devices since 2014.


                                        "Oh the irony of claiming "innovations" when another patent troll did to Nokia what Nokia is doing to Oppo."

                                        Except, nothing happened to Nokia, it was HMD. The fact that you're ROFLing and acting like you are making a good argument without doing basic research makes you look like a fool. Even the comments in the article you posted tell you that it's a different company. Yikes.
