    Sounds good to me, I've always loved old-skool Nokia phones!

    I love their phones. They are basic, but work well.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    I wish Siemens would make phones again. I had a Siemens candy bar phone it was awesome. Also had a Nokia one as well but the Siemens was built better.

    To anyone who don't know; Nokia is owned by Microsoft.

    MS didn´t buy Nokia. They bought the Lumia brand and the related phone business.

    I believe M$ was allowed to use Nokia branding until the supply that went with licensing agreement were sold. Then M$ could not use Nokia branding. Nokia for it's part agreed to exit the cell phone business for 2 years. Then Nokia was free to reenter the cell phone business. At the time I thought it was quite a haul of $$$ for a 2 year hiatus from the cell phone business for Nokia.
