Microsoft gives it the old 'it's not you, it's us'
Update: Microsoft has opened up a little about
the
transition to Nokia Lumia and revealed that a
new
Microsoft Lumia product will be coming soon.
"We are looking forward to unveiling a
Microsoft
Lumia device soon," said Tuula Rytilä, Senior
Vice
President of Marketing for Phones at
Microsoft.
"This is of course a natural progression as all
devices
that once came from Nokia now come from
Microsoft."
Speaking on the official Nokia blog, Rytilä
explained
Lumia's new standing alongside Microsoft's
other
brands like Xbox, Surface and Windows.
Changes
have already begun to appear with the
company's
apps and social media channels renamed and
product packaging in line to follow.
The transformation may be complete but
Microsoft
wisely isn't doing away with current handsets.
Rytilä
confirmed that all existing Lumia handsets will
continue to be supported by the big MS.
