Philip Rowney Ah, but Microsoft is heavy into the Linux game lately, as well as having their own Android lock screen, launcher, keyboard and various other odds and ends.

Philip Rowney Eh, well.. Nokia Mobile is dead, another mothballed Microsoft division alongside the Sidewinder peripherals line and the Comic Chat team (whose dreadful relic Comic Sans still plagues us).
HMD just leases the name, the same way Arvani Display leased the Tandberg brand for their televisions.

The only way Nokia will survive is with a ‘Droid. M$ learned the hard way.
‘New Technology’ was a rewrite of the kernel to make it’s service model ‘more like UNIX’.
Remember Linus just wrote a Kernel and GNU is not UNIX.
[ even though with the way Conformance works, they are all ‘UNIX’ now ]

HMD has been delivering Droid phones under the Nokia brand for a while now, to stellar reviews…
Willy André Bergstrøm indeed, the company is not dead ;0)
Philip Rowney logic gates, me thinks…

Willy André Bergstrøm you think Nokia is dead in spirit?

I know globalization has removed the spirit of many brands.
I like my Nokia 7 Plus more than I expected to.
