Microsoft kills 'Nokia', now everything's 'Lumia'

[TimeTraveller]

Microsoft will shed the Nokia brand soon in favor or 'Microsoft Lumia'.



Microsoft has been making changes to Nokia’s mobile portfolio for quite some time now. And if the initial reports are true then the Finnish handset maker Nokia will be soon rebranded to “Microsoft Lumia”.
Nokia’s website Nokia.com will soon see a transition to Microsoft’s new mobile site. The transition will begin from Nokia France which will be the first country to change to “Microsoft Lumia” for its social media accounts. Other countries will follow the same in coming weeks.

According to the deal signed by Nokia, Nokia will remain a company sans its phones business. In the mean time, Nokia will focus on its mapping and network infrastructure. Microsoft has been taking it steady with the Nokia rebranding and has shed the Nokia brand really slowly over the past year.

In countries like India, Nokia is still a household name for people using feature phones and with the Nokia brand gone, Microsoft runs the risk of losing its market share.

cant understand the logic behind the name change-
Microsoft phones no one gives a sh!t-

Nokia is extremely popular among labor class in subcontinent and even in Middle East-
its a poor man's iphone-

never let americans buying up your companies this is how disrespectful they are but Miscrosoft will fail anyways. like the name Miscorsoft already suggests this is a very bad name people think about MS about Red ring of Death or blue screen while nokia stands for reliability.
