This is Nokia renting out their name and performing contract design. This is NOT a Nokia product.

Nope. Not according to what Nokia says, nor what the analysts write. This is definitely a Nokia product -- first in a line of new Nokia products that Nokia will use in their bid to re-enter the market. Smartphones will be coming in 2016.
I'll requote the following ...

IHS analyst Fogg notes, “For Nokia, the advantages of licensing are considerable. Nokia can enter the mobile device market without needing to worry about manufacturing, supply chain management, stock control or hardware distribution. And, by selling its former devices unit to Microsoft, Nokia has freed itself from historic baggage, restructuring costs, and can start afresh.”

And I have no clue what you mean when you write that Nokia is "supplier to Foxconn," unless you meant to turn that around.
You'll also note that you do not go to Foxconn to get information about the Nokia N1, you go to Nokia's site.
