Microsoft To Replace Nokia Phone Brand With Lumia

[engine]

I don't think this is any surprise. I guess it's going to take quite some time yet to re-brand everything in the market.

Microsoft started dropping hints about its plans to kill off the Nokia and Windows Phone brands last month, and now the company is ready to make it official. Microsoft Lumia is the new brand name that takes the place of Nokia for the software maker. The name change follows a slow transition from Nokia.com over to Microsoft's new mobile site, and Nokia France will be the first of many countries that adopt "Microsoft Lumia" for its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts. Microsoft has confirmed to The Verge that other countries will follow the rebranding steps in the coming weeks.Microsoft To Replace Nokia Phone Brand With Lumia [theverge.com]
