Nokia plans comeback


Nokia is hiring software experts as we speak with the aim of testing new products and as well seeking sales partners as the institute plots its huge return to the mobile phone and consumer tech party which has been left behind for a while now.

Nokia was Once the world's biggest maker of mobile phones, the Finnish firm was wrongfooted by the rise of smartphones and eclipsed by Apple and Samsung as well as the HTC corporation . As at late 2013  Nokia sold its handset business to Microsoft and has since focused squarely on making telecoms network equipment and lots more.

Now Nokia boss Rajeev Suri is planning a comeback, a wonderful one at that. He must wait until late 2016 before he can consider re-entering the handset business - after a non-compete deal with Microsoft expires - but preparations are underway anyway.

The company has already dipped its toe into the consumer market; it has launched an Android tablet, the N1, which went on sale in January in China and days ago unveiled a "virtual-reality camera" - heralding it as the "rebirth of Nokia".

It has also launched an Android app called Z Launcher, which organises content on smartphones, more arranged and orderly,
Meanwhile its technologies division has advertised on LinkedIn dozens of jobs in California, many in product development, including Android engineers specializing in the operating software Nokia mobile devices will use.

Nokia had also planned to lay off about 70 people at the division, according to a May announcement, but a company source told Reuters that the figure had since been halved.

We should wait and see the progress indeed, its worth it because i see light at the end of the tunnel
