It's interesting. I was exposed in a low level kind of way to Nokia technology around 2002, working for a former subsidiary of Nokia that had been sold. Then it seemed there was a legacy of technical excellence - Nokia pcbs were instantly recognisable for their neatness and having all the components on one side. Did that get lost at some point or did I have a flawed impression?
I don’t know what happened at Nokia as I was only there for a year, but nice to hear that they had nicely laid out PCBs in 2002. Shows me that someone had pride in their work
