Ten years ago Microsoft bought Nokia’s phone unit – then killed it as a tax write-off

Article note: It's weird reading about the Elop era (In which Microsoft executive Stephen Elop was hired to lead Nokia, publically sabotaged their platform projects, then returned to his former position at Microsoft when they bought Nokia's devices and services business for pennies on the dollar) as a historical piece. I had an n810 and was active on the Mameo forums while it was happening.
