Sad day. Now both Ericsson and Nokia are gone, and so are their patents...
But really, when they sold their HQ, we should have seen this coming

Wow, Microsoft did a really good job at destroying the most powerful mobile phone company, to take down such a big company in just few years, well done...

So they won't use the Nokia name?? Oh dear
They can use the Nokia name on feature phones due to the 10-year licensing agreement:
but the "Nokia" mark will remain property of the Finnish company, and may only be used on feature phones under a 10-year license agreement.
So we will never see a Nokia Lumia again, not after Q1 2014 if the deal goes through.

Sad news indeed
My first two phones are a nokia. I could never forget my 6230, it was the phone with the best keypad I had ever used and the most responsive during those s40 days.

Nokia company still exist but can never use lumia/asha. I'm thinking that they wll still produce low end handsets like the 1200, which are mighty 3310's successors
in fact Nokia is always my first choice for a second (lowend) device as they were the toughest I've known. plus that 2 week battery life which is a feat no smartphone can ever achieve.
What I didn't get is that is Nokia not allowed to produce
any Smartphones that are not WP? like Android or Firefox? or Ubuntu?

Yep. You know what though? This just proves and reinforces just how ruthless Microsoft are, no shame in their game, they will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Well done to them, I must say, Google with the Motorola deal are looking like idiots right now compared to this.

I wonder if now original Nokia classic devices will now become collectors items and sell for big money?? Sad day but I wonder if Samsung seen this coming with their lacklustre willingness for WP. @Tsepz_GP I thought the deal had gone through?? I thought Nokia had accepted the deal?? This needs to be out to shareholders too

The deal still has to go through regulators and so on, it will only be finished in Q1 2014, if it doesn't go through then MS have to pay Nokia a $750million termination fee.
