I think Microsoft bought Nokia.
Way more complicated than that. They managed to get one of their ex employees installed as Nokia CEO, then he axed Nokia's native smartphone OS in favour of windows phone (which tanked). Microsoft then bought their handset division, but nokia kept the brand and continued to operate it's other divisions. Lately it's started making handsets again, or at least licencing out it's brand.
