        Nokia of Finland will be remembered as the all time greatest Innovator and developer of the smartphone technologies. HMD Global is not the true Nokia as we have grown up with over many years past. The Nokia N95 I miss those days. 😀

          Nokia should continue licensing patents but stop licensing its brand name

            Nokia must have some really cool/innovative patents for Samsung to be continuously licensing them for almost a decade despite having the cash to R&D themselves. Just goes to show what a brand Nokia was, really sad.😥😥
            @#$% Elop & MS!!

              This video patent probably already been used in China without paying any fee. I remember a well known Meizu brand can't even pay MP3 license at an international fair so embarrassing.

                Yes

Finland have great potential and their national treasure its not santa as many of us may think but people themselves.

Past trolling you can't go right? So why bother learning? I know, this days is easyer to let mouth loose, instead of researching and learning of the past and the present, so to not be an ignorant.

                        SuuperBaka, 11 Mar 2021He was a Trojan Horse Elop will go down as the #1 CEO any company wants to stay away from.

                        Selling Nokia practically ended up making Microsoft lose more money and killed WP in one shot.

                        Also, we lost a big and important player as consumers and we ended up with just Samsung/Apple in a lot of markets in the world for several years.

                          Well, another patent that makes others to close to nokia.

                              Nokia...is kinda dead in smartphones from time when Elop become their CEO. In the end of that they "need to" sell phone division to Microsoft (his former place of work).
