>Nokia can charge $1000, but then no one would license their patents

You have fun making a phone without any Nokia patents. Just as a reminder, Nokia has patents in 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, H.264, H.265, H.266 and WLAN.

There's a reason why Nokia is not allowed to charge whatever they want. But hey, if you have an idea on how to make a phone without licensing any of Nokia's patents, go ahead.

Nokia entered into agreements promising not to charge excessive amounts, that’s why their patents were used in all those standards.

If they hadn’t signed those agreements their patents would not have been used, and hence would actually have been worth much less.
