Oh, oops. Guess it's clear I didn't read the article!

I looked at getting a 5G router and I’m not surprised to see the whole thing not kicking off given how insanely expensive they are

I'm using one and it's pretty good all round. That said I don't know anyone else with one.

The article is referring to cellular network equipment not mobile phones.

Perhaps I should pretend I have a piece of Nokia cell network equipment. I still don't know anyone else with one.

Nokia doesn't make smartphones either, they licensed their brand name to HMD Global.

(In case you might find that curious)

Nokia hasn't actually made a mobile phone since 2014 after they sold their phone division to Microsoft, they just licence the name because it still sells.
