        AnonD-34385, 21 Apr 2014i juss wanna say to nokia's management they are really cowa... moreThough they could have taken another approach such as launching Android devices as well as Windows Phone, Sticking to Meego wasn't going to help them. They needed and ecosystem and neither Meego nor Symbian had an ecosystem, so it wasn't going to be a smart move for them to stick to Meego or Symbian anymore.

        People simply prefer having their devices/computers sync seamlessly. The Windows Store is also a sign of why a good ecosystem is needed and it shows developers aren't willing or in some cases able to support many OS's. So actually they were brave enough to step out of their bubble and pride to use another OS for their devices.

        Yes, they could have done both Android and Windows Phone and that most probably would have saved them from selling out to MS but they chose to focus on one ecosystem and took a massive risk with it, they did an excellent job but unfortunately it wasn't enough and now they've lost the name, so no, there isn't anything cowardly about what they did.

          Nokia it is a great name. Micros do not care what peoples wants because they are a rich company and they dictate the market, win7 is great and non-touch screen, but they want all the people to use win8 and touch screen, not happy with this.

            a sad day when Nokia ceases to be a phone maker, i have bought Nokia since 2002,
            if the 930/635/630 are the last Smart phones with Nokia on them time to buy one.

                  i juss wanna say to nokia's management they are really cowards and stupids....
                  nokia quitted it's own creation meego for microsoft's windows phone which makes no sense at all even after noticing that n9 is more succesfull in comparision to lumia 800 even though it's more expensive and only launched in few countries which clearly proved meego's awesomeness but still ignored...
                  and after using meego personally too it's damn good u can't even think about quitting the os cz not a single os come close to it...., it's damn addictive and appealing and whenever i show my n9 to my friends and family they say what an awesome phone man..
                  meego really make me feel prowd...
                  nokia just learn something from apple and black berry and their loyalty to their own creations ios and bb10...
                  black berry is also in recession but still they are not quitting like cowards...
                  we all blame stephen elop for all this but i think nokia's management is faulty too they can easliy fire stephen elop if they want after looking at all this crap things for almost 3 years but they didn't and finally they quitted like fools...
                  really sad to see the biggest and the most respected name is going from the mobile industry...
                  juss hoping that nokia would come back again in a partnership with jolla and launching meego again....

                          let's see if "NOKIA LUMIA 930" having "NOKIA", if not, sorry.
                          it's "NO, NO, and NO !!!!" for "MICROSOFT" or whatever new name.
                          if yes, Nokia Lumia 930 will be my last high end phone from Nokia :)

                            Meh, I'll reserve my judgement until they confirm which name will show up on their next hardware. If anything, I can expect better WP8 experience as long as Nokia hardware quality is there. It's not like suddenly all next microsoft's wp8 device will be rubbish, it will be the opposite since they have greater control on software and hardware now.

                              Come on guys, you need to realize that this rumor is BS, Microsoft its a smart company, they know that no body likes the microsoft brand, and that they will fail to meet sales number by a huge margins if they change the brand name on the NOKIA smartphones. Believe me this its just a bad taste rumor mill.
