  • No AOSP version available, no possibility to install own roms
  • Visible "NOKIA" logo in lage font
I agree partially. I do agree that it is likely to be a cheap Chinese look-alike. Yes, UI/app customisation will be non-existing beyond plausible excuse for first device because of time-to-market and pressure to launch in early 2017. However, having worked with Arto Nummela, I doubt he will go for just any industrial design. Arto has worked on industrial designs for US operators and some of them were much sexier than the stuff we did for the rest of the world such as Nokia Lumia Icon (if I'm not mistaken).

It would be more realistic to ask for a Maemo UI/Community mode in Android OS than asking for Harmattan to make a comeback. Foxconn/HMD will not to do it. There is no money in doing such a thing IMHO (Jolla tried, and tried, and is still trying burning cash).

Well, I liked the tweet anyway.

1 - HMD, the company who has the global rights to the Nokia-branded phones, is a FINNISH company;

2 - Nokia holds a seat on HMD's board and has the ultimate saying on pretty much any phone made. It controls designs, quality, technology, consumer experience etc;

3 - the manufacturing will be done in partnership with Foxconn. Which is exactly what pretty much everyone else is doing, from Apple to Sony, including Microsoft itself (Foxconn builds the Xbox One in case you didn't know that).

4 - HMD's CEO is an ex-Nokia veteran. HMD's employees are ex-Nokians. HMD will be using Nokia patents for the phones.

I would, but I do not have a Twatter account and do not intend to create one just for this. So I am liking at least your post

When and IF it's out - talk to me. Currently it's speculation topic with promises and nothing more.
