AnonD-198835, 05 Dec 2013Don't just give negative comment. Nokia is not dead yet. ... moreM$FT will maintain Nokia brand at least through 2016, from where Nokia is free to make a comeback willingly. One thing is crystal clear though, there is more to this acquisition than just buyout...time is the only determining factor here

      OMG. Are you a insane> Nokia will not die. Nokia just changed his owner that's it. Just like manny others giants did it before. Look at amborghini with VW, Ferrari with Fiat, Jaguar with Tata Motors. Did all of this brands disapears? Hell no. Wake up. Nokia will be Nokia in the future too. Nobody buy Nokia erase its name. The Microsoft phones will be named Nokia too.

        Don't just give negative comment.
        Nokia is not dead yet.
        Nokia didn't grab Android for the sake of the company.
        Better review first.
        If Nokia grab Android nothing will happen to them.
        We know Android is not that REALLY open source you can't even track the next feature of this OS.
        There's NO FREEDOM at all.
        I'm not saying Android is Sh*t.
        My tablet is powered by Android.

        Only Time well tell.
        Nokia is still Nokia even Microsoft acquired D&S.
        Think first Nokia need Microsoft backing to them and Microsoft need Nokia backing to them too.
        Now that Microsoft acquired the Nokia D&S this will be the start of true Mobile OS war.!

        Only I'm thinking is that will Microsoft will able to use NOKIA brand on the mobile they will make or MICROSOFT brand.?

            So, Flop finally managed to sell a one the greatest mobile manufacture: Nokia. At a very cheap price. For those who want to do the same to other companies. Take Flop's masterpiece. If he could destroy a company name so easy, others will be piece of cake. All you need is Flop and some greedy insiders. THAT's it. No respect, no pride, no nothing. This guys will sell their mothers to. If they could...

                                I am really looking forward to this deal and along the technologies as well as success in 2014 and later on. Really exciting about the next generation products they will offer.

                                  Don't blame idiots.... Now customers have best of both the world (Hw+Sw).

                                  Now we can choose b/w msft's nokia or nokia's new mobile device.... Nokia will have enough money to buy jolla now (atleast if they want to)....
                                  Do you only need the nokia branding on your smartphone or instead their build quality....
                                  Now they can act without msft, i hope they bring back the meltemi and meego/sailfish to fight with msft....

                                    I think Elop plan to sell Nokia Maps as well, thats why he rebranded the Nokia Maps to Here Maps..But some how this did not happen. Every thing pre planned and executed quite nicely.

                                      Why you all think of failure.. What if they succeed ?? Huge success is also possible.. Dont act like being cheated on by your partner.. Its business and technology and not a male female thing.. Patience is the key.. Dont like to wait then move on cos if they succeed you all will be back forsure..SMH
