Nokia seems to  be willing  to sell Vertu , a division dedicated to delivering handcrafted luxury mobile phones .

In back is the Financial Times, citing a source, that Nokia would have appointed Goldman Sachs as an advisor for the sale of the English branch even if the negotiations were at an early stage. It would not have been given more value to society even if the annual turnover is estimated at between 200 and 300 million euros.

Vertu have attracted the attention of private equity groups and may be of interest to many working in the field of luxury brands.
