@FatSnowflakes Well, HMD still has the license to produce Nokia branded phones, although they seem to be flipping to own-brand blowers - but never say never!

[Chris Barraclough @TechSpurtVideo]

@LeeMcilwaine Yep, embargoed at the moment, and unlike our US chums, us Brits didn't get a hands-on sadly
