Nokia Evaluating Hardware Partners for 2016 Reentry Into Phone Business | Re/code

Tangentially, Microsoft Brings More of Its Lumia Smartphones to the U.S. (Re/code)

"As Re/code reported in April, the company has no plans to resurrect the manufacturing and sales apparatus it sold to Microsoft. Instead, the company hopes to use its design know-how and remaining brand cachet and let another company do that heavy lifting. Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri confirmed those plans in an interview with German business magazine, Manager Magazin.

“We will look for suitable partners,” Rajeev Suri said in the interview, according to Reuters. “Microsoft makes mobile phones. We would simply design them and then make the brand name available to license.”"
