Yeah, this team is from Nokia Corporation the part Microsoft did not buy (essentially business dev, R&D, some creative and remnants of the N9 (Meego) team that did not leave for Jolla among others). So totally separate from Microsoft.

Good to know that some stayed. Hopefully Jolla will rejoin the mothership in 2016 :)

Yeah that would be awesome. I had an N9 and loved it. Incredible device in terms of design and OS. It was an absolute shame and a disaster that it fell to the way side for Windows Phone.

Nokia had made a massive mistake by neglecting Symbian for half a decade, but I think going with Windows Phone was an even bigger mistake. Meego really could have been huge if they just stuck with it.

Yes, although I couldn't tell how are they called. The official Nokia site lists Networks, Here (maps) and Advanced Technologies (mostly patents) as 3 main divisions.

This is from the Products division of Nokia Technologies. I am a proud employee of it!

Well, it would be nice if they would "harmonize" us enough to put us all on SocialCast! ;)

You should all move to Yammer like those of us who transferred to MS :)
