    It’s not.

    It’s a Chinese corporation wearing the dead skin of the former Nokia.

    They’ve lost the engineers and definitely with the change in ownership they’ve lost the values once may have had.

    Nokia used to manufacture in Salo, a city some 100km from Helsinki. I was working at a taxi dispatch center back then. Literally almost every 10 calls would have a taxi ordered to Nokia Visitor Centre. Sometimes like a third of the calls during busy hours.

    Fast forward three years the manufacture has largely moved and the city is in trouble. Fast forward another ten to now and the city is dead. No work, no housing market nothing sells, stores dead. Unemployment was 20% in 2015.

    I don’t believe it’s in any ways equivalent to the former Nokia.
