You're right but the my original source is in Bulgarian...
"... CEO of Nokia Rajeev Suri said that the company will return to the smartphone market in 2016. Their contract with Microsoft restricts Nokia to produce smartphones until 2023, but they can release them under another trade mark..."

Hey, everybody who's ready to pre-order an Alcatel-Lucent smartphone please raise their hands!

Can you please tally the results? It won't take too long. :D

Dear lord that's hideous. Who would want a piece of plastic hovering over their display only to have it broken via simple mishandling? Not a smart design...

Nokia has aligned themselves with Alcatel. That makes any/all of their future offerings mid-tier at best. It'll carry the Nokia premium on price, but do we really even care? It'll invariably be Android based, thus a "me too" product.

And I am not interested in a "me too" product.

That is the old Nokia Morph Concept. Watch this video:

For example she uses that plastic thing as handsfree. If it were a real product and behaved like that in video then you would not have need to use that plastic thing

Well today, I learned something new. That's from 2008? Wow... and it also never came to fruition... imagine that.

Well are you surprised that it never came to fruition?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_Morph

The manufacturer believed that some of the device's imagined features could appear in high-end devices by 2015.

More to the point, what is it doing in the "Nokia's return to market" thread?
Is this supposed to be about the past?

Yeah, the Bulgarian media is the most trustworthy source of information the money can buy. They are famous with their high level of technical and whatnot expertise. Also, they never use google translate to borrow a publication made on some foreign website.

Well, GSM Arena is technically a Bulgarian media ;)

Not saying that his source is trustworthy though...
