      The truth is, i believe we should give them time to lapse this rebranding phase then, wait for them to launch their products.
      I however, hope they regain their stance as the leader in the mobile genre.

                I love Nokia because they are innovative and they dare to be distinct and different. I hate Samsung because they benefit from the expense of the other companies they copy. Unoriginal, cunning, two adjectives that best describe Samsung. Flashy interface, ugly-designed phones are what Android phones are.

                  AnonD-3485, 16 May 2011It's a rumor. And obviously fake.Maybe, maybe not... Truth is Eldar Murtazin was right about the Nokia/Microsoft partnership and the going down of "OVI"... Who knows, maybe he is also right about Microsoft acquiring of Nokia...

                      Smart move by Nokia, Ovi brand was a stupid idea in the first place. Especially now that they're with Microsoft.

                                I bet soon there will be no more NOKIA! Microsoft will rename it to something "Powerful and yet capture our ATTENTION!" - NOSOFT is THE BEST!!

                                  Instead of changing the font and renaming their services they should start working more on the things that need change for exsample giving regular firmware upgrades. I have n97 and after the last firmware that was ages ago and didn't solve a thing i get no more upgrades except for the Ovi store. They need to finnaly work that out and make the devices usable. I hate it that it's superior hardware does nothing with that crappy and full of bugs software

                                    Actually, the name can make a difference for many people. Of course, quality of service and consumer price are both paramount. So, it makes sense to capture customers who measure service quality AND/OR an appealing name as well. Cast a wider net, if you will.
                                    People are spending good, hard-earned money for these devices and expectations are high.
