‪#‎Microsoft‬ has decided to rename Nokia phones to Microsoft ‪#‎Lumia‬

The Nokia was my first phone, which was the size of a brick in 2001. But it will always be the most special mobile for me.After almost 6 months since Microsoft acquired Nokia’s devices division, the company finally announced that they will drop the ‘Nokia’ brand name and use ‘Microsoft Lumia’ instead.



It’s not yet clear though what will appear on the company’s smartphones – whether ‘Microsoft Lumia’ or ‘Lumia’ alone. It might be just Lumia though which actually sounds better than the first one.

The company has been slowly removing the Nokia brand name from several apps in the past months. Even some press releases don’t use the Nokia brand anymore for Windows phones.

This might have a negative effect on the sales on Windows phones since many people buy them because of the Nokia brand. However, it will also help prevent confusion because Nokia is still alive with its HERE Maps product as well as other networking technologies. 

 RIP Nokia !!!! 

Share...Love...Joy...!!!
