Nokia Completes Sale Of Handset Business To Microsoft

Nokia has closed the sale of its once dominant handset business to Microsoft, the company announced on Friday.

The deal however excludes two of Nokia's factories located in India and Korea.

An ongoing tax dispute between Nokia and Indian authorities means it would operate the Chennai factory for Microsoft as a contract manufacturing unit.

The company will also close its plant in Masan, Korea.

Some tweets posted by Nokia fans on Twitter show that not everybody is happy with the sale.

"Errr... getting an email from Nokia stating d "sale of its Devices & Services business to Microsoft" makes it really sound final and more sad," tweeted @RN1290.

As a Nokia lover, are you happy to see the good ‘ol battery and durability king gone for life?
