Nokia Brand To Be Replaced With Microsoft Lumia by heskeyw(m): 3:18pm On Oct 21, 2014
If you've seen Microsoft's recent
articles about Lumia you know it was
coming. The Nokia brand has been
phased out by calling the phones
just "Lumia" and redirecting Nokia
online properties to Microsoft.com.
This rebranding effort will expand
and soon the lineup will become
"Microsoft Lumia".
Lumia is already the de facto face of
Windows Phone – it accounts for
about 90% of the market. Microsoft
has been busy signing up new
vendors but they will struggle to gain
significant market share as the big
names have mostly neglected WP.
Nokia, the company, still exists but
as part of the agreement with
Microsoft it won't make new phones
for at least several more years.
Instead it has shifted its focus to
things like mapping and, with no
exclusivity to consider, it has been
bringing its software to Android.
Will Microsoft put its own logo on
the devices or will a more restraint
Lumia logo suffice? Keep in mind
that Microsoft is treading lightly, not
to annoy other WP vendors by
showing favoritism to its in-house
manufacturer.
