A company’s Job listings provide very useful clues about its future plans and Nokia is no exception here. We have reported Nokia assessing a Mobile phones & Mobile devices re-entry to en-cash the Nokia brand value. Nokia accounts have also teased about some possible communication about Nokia’s future plans from 17th November.
Now, some recent job listing reveal about Nokia’s hardware & software plans. From one of the job listings,

The mention of “new category of devices products” is very interesting. That does confirm, Nokia is planning foray into more than one device categories.
One more job listing talks about “hardware design” and needs Mobile Phone development experience.
