It's really weird how people have started to anthropomorphize these corporations and their products...why do this? If you could raise billions you could start a new endeavor?

Nokia isn't an old friend of yours. There's nothing to "save". Raise your billions and hire some of their designers if you like the work that they do.

Nokia's brand premium is worth quite a lot to some people, representing (at the very least) a quicker path to making money since you technically don't need to educate everybody about a new brand.

> There's nothing to "save".

To be fair, there's a lot of intellectual property at stake.

Nokia kept all its intellectual property.

Well if it worked that way someone already would have done that wouldn't they?

1) There's $12 billion in cash in Nokia, representing 42% of their market valuation

2) There's a lot of intellectual property

3) There's a global brand

4) I think it's safe to assume there are a lot of excellent people that still work for Nokia

There's a lot to be "saved." Whether Nokia could be turned around on its own is another matter.
