Nokia's Licensing Its Name To Microsoft, But It's Free To Keep Building Hardware, And Could Even Dial Up To Mobile Devices Again By January 2016

30 birthday cardAmidst the "sadness" of today's news that Nokia would be splitting up, selling its Devices & Services division to Microsoft for $7.2 billion, there is a little silver lining for the Nokia fanboys in the house. As part of the 1.65 billion ($2.2 billion) licensing deal (which also includes "reciprocal rights related to HERE services"), Nokia gives details of how Microsoft will license Nokia's brand. The description indirectly indicates that Nokia may still end up making hardware sooner rather than later, and it may even go so far as to start producing mobile devices again in 30 months, by January 2016.
