... And now would be good time for Nokia to start licensing all their mobile solutions to all major phone manufacturers and/or OS companies out there. That is, if they still own all the phone-related patents, I think they do, if I've read the news correctly.

Samsung phones With Nokia Maps/41 mpix camera? I would do that to just to screw Microsoft. LICENSE (cheap?), get some money from the patents while you still can.

After all, after a few years all the patents will be obsolete as new technological innovations will come to replace the old innovations.

As a Finn, I'm pissed, but I did see this coming a long time ago... It seemed so obvious after the burning platform memo (& the consequent ditching of all Nokia's phone OS'ses [even the promising ones] and then going all in with Windows Phone strategy).

I personally never understood one bit why the WIndows Phone OS was chosen, the phone wasn't customisable at the least! And that's something the most customers seek from a phone. I'll never buy a phone I can't change a wallpaper to.

Now, If Nokia would only invest in Jolla... Though I see it unlikely. They might stay away from the phone business some time for now... if only to catch some breath after all this.
