I'm not sure that was ever likely with Elop at the helm, but Nokia is now out of the phone business until at least 2016.

- bsimpson 13y agoYup: Upon the closing of the transaction, Nokia would be restricted from licensing the Nokia brand for use in connection with mobile device sales for 30 months and from using the Nokia brand on Nokia's own mobile devices until December 31, 2015. MS bought their present design team and fab facilities, but what's left of Nokia can reenter the device business in 2016.
- jpalomaki 13y agoI believe the press release only speaks about the brand. There does not seem to be any limitations for Nokia to enter into phone business. They would just need to have some other brand.
