- icebraining 9y agoNokia has been selling smartphones since before the iPhone.
- robin_reala 9y agoWay before; the first S60 phone came out in 2002[1] and the original Communicator was from back in 96.[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7650 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7650 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_9000_Communicator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_9000_Communicator
- zokier 9y agoStrictly speaking Nokia isn't selling smartphones, HMD is. Nokia itself it primarily an IP company, the Nokia brand being part of that IP. Nokias business-model is about licensing their precious IP to other companies, in this case to HMD.
- ironjunkie 9y agoNot at all. There are more than 100k employees in Nokia as of today. Nokia is a B2B company that sells most of the backbone equipment for telecom (Those 4/5G stations, every other Service Routers or core routers out there, etc etc ). The acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent in 2016 helped a lot here.
- zokier 9y agoOh, right. To my defense, I feel like NSN always has been bit distanced from Nokia proper
- kingosticks 9y agoTo be fair, there is Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies. IP licensing is a very big part of Nokia Technologies.
