A cheap Chinese phone which meets Nokias quality standards, is fine to me.
a phone made in Finland would be nicer though..

Symbian S60 was limited in Touch.
There was Symbian UIQ optimized for touch screens, its 1st smartphone was Sony Ericsson P800 in 12/2002.
But UIQ was ditched in 2008, only Symbian S60 was the choice for Symbian Foundation.
If Symbian UIQ had been maintained, it would be better UI to dispute with iOS and Android in 2008-2011.
I much preferred UIQ 2 to UIQ v3. v3 had stupid animations and annoying pauses in the UI.
SE managed to kill UIQ by launching it on woefully bad hardware. IIRC the next smartphones they released ran Windows Mobile. That's how much faith they had still in Symbian.
Yet in Nokia S60 seemed to be some kind of cult that had to be fed by sacrificing all common sense on it.

I've sold my Jolla. My Sony z1c is over a year old now so I'll be coming up to something else soon. Sony have their heads up their arse currently with the X series so unless I pick up a z5c cheap or Sony does something at IFA, my next phone probably isn't a Sony.
I won't buy a Samsung and I've never liked HTC. The Nexus phones don't appeal as they never have SD card slots and I like to carry about 5-60GB of music with me, if not more. They're also HUGE.
So yeah, if they come up with something competitive with the design quality and build of old Nokia, why not?

And I agree that UIQ2 was better, more "smart". With UIQ3 they tried to reach less geeky people. But even that was miles ahead of S60. The biggest issue of P990 was lack of RAM just like on N900. P1 with double the RAM was performing much better. Unfortunately, all of UIQ3 phones other than P990 had slightly different (dumber) navigation. My P990 is still alive and kickin'.
