I hope he meant the Trolltech bargain, not the factory closing.

I have still mixed feelings about this. I live in Oulu which is one of
the main places of Nokia in Finland, the home country of Nokia. Majority
of the IT workers here are in touch with Nokia in some way or another
and I have good chances to be in that situation some day. But I don't
like big companies (not even Nokia) and was shocked about the Trolltech
news.

Eventually only time will tell if this is a good or bad thing. Here is
one good balaced opinion about the subject:
