Nokia as phone manufacturer is gone.

Nokia the company still exists. It owns the Nokia brand and has massive mobile patent portfolio (only licensed to Microsoft). Nokia is made of NSN (Nokia Solutions and Networks), maps and The Nokia Research Center.

Nokia is prohibited from using the brand to sell mobile phones for few years (ending 2018). It's completely possible that they come up with new gadgets or even phones with Nokia name.

Nokia is like one of the Japanese/Korean conglomerate where it touches everything[1]. Looking back at its stories, it got involve in power generation, TV manufacture, even forestry. I am sure that this is only part of its evolution.

That they're spun off is probably a good thing. Nokian tires are basically the best winter tires around. It's gone so far that consumer tests are superfluous. Nokian winter tires and Continental summer tires are the be-all, end-all of tires. Why the hell do I know this? I don't even own a car...
