The announcement of the new Nokia 216 device is certainly an interesting turn of events.

Earlier this year, Microsoft sold its feature phone business to Foxconn subsidiary FIH Mobile for $350 million, following reports Nokia might start manufacturing Android devices.

Since then, rumors have suggested Microsoft might be working on a new Surface Phone for launch in 2017.

As Engadget has remarked, this might very well be the last ever Microsoft-crafted Nokia device – it’s just a shame it looks so 2002. The Nokia 216 is expected to hit the stores on October 24. It will be priced at $37.
