Nokia comeback to mobile market false

Washington: Week after reports claimed that Nokia was planning to make a comeback to the consumer mobile market as early as next year, the Finnish company has stepped up to dismiss those claims publically.

In a brief message posted on its website, Nokia clarified that it had no plans to "manufacture or sell consumer handsets" and dismissed the reports as "false," reported The Verge.

Nokia is restricted from using its brand on phones until Q4 2016 under the deal that it struck with Microsoft last year.
