Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.

Yeah, I think this is more along the lines of HMD saying, "we are contractually obligated to use the Nokia branding until 2025 and we have this line that just isn't selling, let's put a screwdriver in the box and market it towards people who can't afford a Fairphone."
HMD Nokia is the company that abandoned their flagship after a year despite promising updates, and has never allowed a bootloader to be unlocked despite promising so on Twitter back in 2018.
As a follow-up, I think that came across as harsh on HMD Global. I hope this is a strategic pivot and not just a money grab for a failing product line. HMD can bring value to the sustainable tech movement through economies of scale and marketing to an audience that smaller players like Fairphone can't reach.
