SpiritWolf, 02 Oct 2016Android? I will pass. Bring back Symbian, greatest mobile O... moreSymbian can't and won't be brought back as it is only suitable for numeric keypads. It simply can't be used fir touch screens.
Eg writing code touchscreen using Ios / Android /Window / BB 10 to perform task x takes 1 - 2 hours to do the same task for Symbian would run into the thousands of hours.
That is why Nokia went to Microsoft so Microsoft could write code for Nokia to implement features it wanted to incorporate
Nokia are now in the same ball park using Android as every manufacturer Samsung, LG, Sony are using the same OS, hence all have cross over features.
If Nokia were clever enough to design a new feature, it would only be a matter if time before others could produce a similar feature.
That is why you see ergonomics play more of a role especially Apple iPhones who sued everyone fir copying the iPhone design (Aluminium border) and the IPhones 6/6S/ 7 were designs used for years by Android phone makers
Nokia can't improve RAM management of Android nor even protect their future devices from malware except by the monthly security patches (Nokia Symbian & Nokia (Lumia) phones can't be infected! the way Android can)
Whilst I look for to the Nokia return unfortunately mid range specs in 5.5 inch screens won't work, upgrading means looking for higher specifications not 2013 specs in a 2017 phone
If Nokia wanted exclusivity to incorporate unique features and have an infection free OS it should have used Blackberry 10 ( after all Blackberry aren't using it) and avoided Android
In short if all the players are using the same "Lego bricks" expect the same design!

Welcome back Nokia! :-)
I was always Nokia user until Nokia become dead brand after purchasing by bloody Microsoft cretins. Then become Samsung user, but I hate these phones for made for short times - after two years Samsung phones are dead and need to by new Samsung Galaxy. That not for me! Also I hate integrated batteries when can't replace if phone still working, but batteries is dead. So again need to by new phone. It's nasty market by Samsung management - 'MANUFACTURING SHORT LIFE PHONES, THEN PEOPLE WILL BUY ITS PRODUCTION EVERY 1 or 2 YEARS' .
So, don't do Samsung management! Instead come to people hearts with best quality and very long life products. BTW I'm mostly care of camera pics quality, batteries and phone longevity.
Good luck Nokia! :-)

Indian , 02 Oct 2016King is still coming soon......But now competition is more ... moreThe only difference is that Nokia always comes with something new;). A thing this manufacturers you're talking about, will kind of never do;). They don't have resources for it, not people to do it. So they just build plain phones with nothing interesting, to make a quick buck, cause are cheap. This manufacturers aren't here to do something for technology, they are here only to make some money out of "just another device"...

Anonymous, 02 Oct 2016This is so sad. The once leading and innovative Nokia reduc... moreIphone it self is a cheep chinese knockof by youre mentality;). Cause apple is doing now, exactly what Nokia will do in the near future. They just design devices, and others build them ;). And if nokia are good at something, well, they are good at innovating. After they went out we can all see the nothing that has happened, people just don't want to see the truth. Nokia lifted the standards in anyway possible, not crapple or samesung, they were always falowers. From design to quality, from camera to microphones, from colors to screens. You name it, NOKiA did it first in a mobile phone! So, about who's knockof are we talking about?

And about dying, we their device technology died once they signed the contract to ms. They knew is no escape from that... But this branch is not the only one NOKIA has, so why will they die?

The weird thing is that you're refuse to die! Someone has to die in order that the rest of them should value life more.

I hope Nokia would release a N9 kind of gorgeous device with Android. Bored of seeing the android phones with similar design and hate the round corners.
Come back Nokia, show the world how a phone should look like.
