Note I own nokia 7 plus (the phone that had this issue)

There was a fix released, for anyone with nokia 7 plus, just install latest firmware.

Also since this problem only affected 1 phone out of their line, I believe them it was a screw-up and not intentional.

It was bad screw up and PR hit, but it was not intentional.

I just hope it doesn't continue to happen, I would love to see Nokia not fail. Unfortunately bad PR like this will be uttered for years to come, some geeks are not very forgiving. We see it with Microsoft still, despite their many contributions to open source, and their openness compared to Oracle.

Otherwise I will have to stick to Motorola for my next phone, I love that Nokia and Motorola make more minimal phones. If Google would bring back Nexus as a way for manufacturers to release phones that are fully stock android, that would be great, or some sort of similar line of phones. Otherwise I'm leaning towards iPhone with all the stupid Android scandals, especially if one of the Moto phones is found to have a similar problem, enough is enough.
