Microsoft doesn't appear very interested in using the Nokia brand, even though it negotiated the rights for the next 10 years when acquiring the Finnish company's mobile phone division for $7.2 billion. However, we haven't seen the last of the Nokia name -- not by a long shot. Last week, reports surfaced that Nokia is planning to re-license its handset brand to other interested third parties, and now the company is taking to Twitter to tease an upcoming reveal.

"We at Nokia love the feeling of a fresh start. Can't wait for what's next!, #thinkingahead," the company posted to Twitter a couple of days ago.

The Twitter post was accompanied by a closeup of the Nokia brand name etched into a black device of some sort, though it's impossible to tell from the one picture alone. However, another Twitter post today showed a little black box in the shape of a NUC device.
