Nokia said it was looking for a partner who would take on the
manufacturing, sales, marketing and customer support for the
products.
The company said a Nokia mobile phone would not reach the market
before the fourth quarter of 2016 when Nokia's agreement with
partner Microsoft allows it to use the brand name again.
Nokia sold its phone business to Microsoft in 2014 after years
of declining sales.
