Really? Old Nokia phones were beautifully designed, as are (IMO) Lumias (not sure how much of the latter is attributable to Microsoft, though).

Pretty much all of the Lumia design mnemonics was outsourced by Nokia to Frog in Helsinki.

I don't think that's true. The Lumia design language is actually the Nokia N8/N9 design language (look at pictures of either of them and this is immediately evident), and that was designed in-house by a team lead by Axel Meyer.

(Also, Frog Design is based in Palo Alto, and their web site doesn't list a Helsinki office.)
