Somewhere along the line I think Nokia bought, then sold the company.
It's an unfortunate situation, but I don't think Nokia has ever bought the company. Navicore was a relatively small Finnish company. It was bought in 2007 by Wayfinder, a Swedish company. Wayfinder was then bought in late 2008 by Vodafone.

In general I don't think Nokia generally goes around buying and then quickly selling companies. At least I'm not aware of those kind of examples...
