if only there were a definitive way of pronouncing Nokia as there is for Linux.

Nike actually changed the pronunciation of his family name to suit how consumers pronounced it.

Can I just get on my soapbox here and let people know that Nokia is pronounced "noh-kia" (with a short "o" as in "golf").

Ah, so is the medium length "o" pronounced: No-kia (as in "open", so the "No" sounds like the opposite of "yes"), or as I would say n-o-kia (as in the o from "odd" - the "n-o" sounding a bit like the start of the French "non", the opposite of "oui").
Anyway, in business calls with Finnish Nokia employees, they always pronounce it "knock'ya" to my ears, with that delicate consonant pronunciation that Swedes and Finns bring to speech.
What does it matter as long as we buy the product?
Just because you are online, doesn't mean you don't have to form a full sentence.
SEARCH! It's probably already been answered.
