As for devices sponsored by Nokia - they're definitely "owned", not "loaned". At least, that was the case for 74 devices already assigned. I doubt, that it will change for last 26 ones.

As for rules - AFAIK, rule about"can"t get same device type, if You won it from other program already" was only valid for Community Awards. Last time I checked (was while ago) - it was up to Coding Competition, *not* Council, to decide how devices will be assigned by Coding Competition.

I'm certain, that Nokia haven't requested any changes to it (in fact, it's hard to get *any* contact with them, lately), so it's still up to CC Masters, to decide. Council role start and ends by sending list of winners to Nokia contact.
