What he means, is don't hire mobile engineers that have worked at big telco provider (samsung,motorola, or carriers). It is well known that these companies just don't have good talent.
If your main reason for not hiring someone is "They worked for Nokia," then I'm not quite sure what to say, besides that it doesn't seem to be a very good reason not to hire someone.
Of course, I've never worked for any of the aforementioned companies. That being said, I know some very smart people who have (and continue to do so). People who I'd be happy to work with, if the chance ever came up at the right time.
