It won't be hardware design and it won't be Jolla. It will be an off the shelf Foxconn piece of hardware with some Nokia software customisations through Android with Nokia branding. Just like the N1 tablet.

Jolla licencing the Nokia name is back-asswards and I would guess without the OS improving drastically, most customer's reactions would be "WTF? This isn't a Nokia".
Nokia Technologies is now almost entirely based in Silicon Valley. There will be no involvement with Russia or Jolla.

"We will look for suitable partners," he said, perhaps implying that Foxconn may not be the manufacturer of Nokia's new smartphone. He continued: "Microsoft makes mobile phones. We would simply design them and then make the brand name available to license."

Why not...?
There's still millions of symbian devices in use. And much of the so called "more current" tech is inferior.

Could be, however it does not mean it is so

People still do use Nokia Symbian devices, as business phones for example. As it happens, we currently can only get Lumia devices for company use, hence many people rather use their old real business phones than take the new toys.
