[rumor] Nokia going to produce mobiles again next year

I read in german IT news from heise/ct (famous german IT magazine) that there is a rumor of Nokia going to produce again mobiles. Partially as desingers with licences but maybe also under the Nokia brand itsself. Nokia back to mobile business

Questions are for me now:

Will Jolla somehow interact with Nokia? Maybe HW designed by Nokia, usually Nokias had always a good HW reputation - together with Sailfish..why not (not telling that the Jolla Phone is bad, but maybe higher Volumes could be achieved??)

Will this affect Jolla in another way? Steal potential customers? There was no detail about the future system used, just a reference to the N1 Tablet which will be for sure outdated already.

I'm torn between liking and mistrusting that situation since I don't want that Jolla suffers from a Nokia-Phoenix.

Wouldn't it be a dream if Nokia uses Sailfish for the new phones? What do you think?
