It's not surprising people get confused. The two sites use identical colour schemes and UI graphics. Just compare the two:

http://shop.nokia.co.uk/
http://nokiaretail.co.uk/

When I first looked yesterday, I had to check the "About" link to find out they are not just different sites to the same company.

If they didn't have some kind of franchise/licensing arrangement, nokiaretail.co.uk would have been sued for ripping off the graphics and passing themselves off as a Nokia clone....
