Can only be good news. It's fair to say, Microsoft have been shambolic with the Nokia brand.

The Nokia name will live on, though not under the Microsoft brand.
"Microsoft, undoing a portion of its 2014 acquisition of Nokia's phone business, is selling off its low-end phone unit as part of a $350 million deal announced Wednesday that will see about 4,500 employees leave the company. The buyers are FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of Chinese manufacturing giant Foxconn, and a new Finland-based company called HMD Global.
Under a deal announced at the same time with Finland's Nokia Technologies, HMD has exclusive rights for 10 years to sell Nokia-branded phones and tablets."

Snake was best on the 3210 & 3310, not the later Nokias or colour version
