They are called HMD now.

I actually think this could be it. Nokia has always been a little adventurous with their operating systems, and I think they are eager to claw back their old reputation.

It's not.

Have a friend who works at a decently high position here in Finland and they actually are considering exiting the smartphone market all together because the margins are too small and they make easy more money on other things, like 5G equipment. They kind of want to move past being associated with phones basically.

Nokia just extended their existing contract with HMD for several years. Doesn't seem like they're going anywhere in the foreseeable future.
