Pretty sure they're referring to the sale of Nokia's phone division to Microsoft in the mid-2010s. It's since been bought back and is in the process of renaming to HMD.
Didn't it get resold again to a Chinese firm? Please tell me they're independent again.
Sort of. HMD licenses the Nokia name from the broader Nokia business and kept a lot of the old c-suite. Manufacturing is owned by a subsidiary of Foxconn.
ok, that's cool. and their stance on repair ability means if they make a reasonably sized smart phone before I need a new one I'll be getting one, and one of the stupid tablet sized ones anyway if not.
