Ever since Microsoft bought Nokia, rumors suggested that the
name Nokia will soon be buried. Those rumors have just come true. In a latest
development at Microsoft, the popular ‘Nokia Lumia’ series has been renamed as
‘Microsoft Lumia’. The transition though, according to Microsoft, will be a
slow process. Nokia.com will be changed to Microsoft’s mobile website and Nokia
France will be the very first to adopt the Microsoft Lumia on its social
networks.
FYI, Nokia’s Windows Phone apps have already been renamed to
Lumia, shedding away the name Nokia. Nokia, on the other hand, will be an
independent enterprise under Microsoft and will be involved in mapping and
network infrastructure. The question that looms now is that how Microsoft will
brand the new Windows phones. The existing units have Nokia holograms on the
front and the back. So, Microsoft is now expected to use either Lumia in place
of Nokia or simply, Microsoft.
