Good PR for Nokia, it was a lovely company but I don't see how they are still relevant in this time of Android and iOS.

The Windows phone, while not terrible, is completely eclipsed by the forerunners which have cornered the smartphone and tablet markets, using experience to guide them.

Windows mobile seems to still operate under the illusion that they can dictate how you use your phone, which would work, if they'd been as ubiquitous as iOS has become.



With the sale of the phone business to MS, Nokia is pivoting to mapping and connected cars: http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/09/28/top-auto-brands-tu...

Nokia bought Navteq for ~$8 billion a few years back. They're the only source for mapping data that is comparable to Google.


A recruiter from Nokia contacted me about a Android developer job. I'm not sure if this was the Microsoft Nokia or the other Nokia.
