Pretty strange to buy Nokia and then get rid of the name

They did not buy Nokia... But one division of it.

And if I'm not mistaken, part of the deal was to be able to use the "Nokia" name for a certain amount of time only.

So this is perfectly expected :)

Yea thats what I ment loll, sorry for the confusion

But hmm, if it was for a limited time only, thats a bit of an interesting deal, I guess all of the cost went into R&D stuff then?
