It's the shape of things to come in the cell phone industry... Huge growth is over and production now is for replacement units.

The Khoisan market has yet to be saturated.

Made in China now?
Article says production going to Romania, which might explain some of the backlash.
(That and the fact the Germans already gave Nokia 117 million dollars!)

Woah. Overwhelmingly 95% of Romanians I know are the type who would see a leaky gas line, put duct tape over it, and walk away as if it's not their problem. This should be fun!
(Hey boys and girls! Uncle Hedge doesn't think all Romanians are bad peope, or even any Romanians for that matter! The afforementioned people are all good people, and as such I like 'em! They just drive me crazy as bat sh** to work with!)

German politicians on TV every day saying what they're doing to 'deal with the problem'. What problem? If the German government is so clever and great, why aren't *they* building our phones? They can buy the Nokia facility and get right to work.
Germany is getting exactly what it deserves: capital and industry flight. And this thread is solidly off-topic.

I have my own thoughts, having been there and done that, but dare not share them.

Labor cost is a problem all technocratic societies are facing. Germans also recently got a shock when Volkswagon announced their first major cutbacks.
But if Nokia wants to compete an innovative player in the emerging PID and communications market, better PR wouldn't hurt. Apple seems to do this aspect better.

"BERLIN (AFP) - Anti-Nokia anger in Germany for closing a factory is growing with politicians publicly ditching the firm's phones and joining calls for a national boycott in Europe's largest economy...."
