Nokia is pretty much alive.

As for what Elop did, in case you missed the news, he only did what the Nokia board themselves asked him to do, and even gave him a bonus for achieving it.

Did that include having secret negotiations with Steve Ballmer that the board was unaware of? For a true accounting of what really happened you can find it all in Operation Elop.

Thanks for the link,

If the board hadn't had such bonus (24. The bonus brouhaha boils over) as Helsingin Sanomat discovered, the outcome would be much different.

As someone that used to know the Espoo HQ from inside, Microsoft is not the one I blame.

What's is Nokia up to? I'd love to know they are doing interesting things.

With the money from Microsoft's deal, they bought Siemens part from NSN, merging it back into Nokia.

They got back many of the former mobile division employees via the partnership with HMD, currently having one of the best deals in Android devices.

Ah and Bell Labs now belongs to Nokia.

Well, they just split up their Health division back into Withings. https://health.nokia.com/event/nokia-withings

I only know that because I have one of their awesome scales (https://health.nokia.com/gr/en/scales). I was shocked they were Nokia when I found out about them. They're absolutely awesome, highly recommend them.
