'Ditching' and 'drop' suggest more of a negative disassociation with the Nokia brand. I thought MS were only allowed to legally use the Nokia brand for a year following the acquisition, thereby not really suggesting MS had much of a choice in the matter. Semantics probably, but it bugged me anyway =]
If the quality/value stays the same they still have my business under which ever name they use.

I don't think they should really bring Microsoft into it at all. Dropping Nokia is fair enough, just continue with Lumia.
and I got roundly flamed for suggesting on these forums that Nokia was dead and would cease to exist 3 years ago!
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
So Nokia phones are going from being known as "bricks" and "most reliable" to become "MS bricks" and "least reliable" :{
Seems a logical move.
For me Windows phone OS is so much better than Android or IOS, more integration/compatability with the desktop OS would be welcome.
So what about their non-smart phones? Will the Nokia 301 suddenly become the Microsoft 301?
PLEASE don't use Americanisms like "Holiday season" - yuk!
Sorry, double post.
Well there already is a Lumia Tab, which garnered generally positive reviews, the 2520 . Should you desire an RT 8.1 with 32GB, Full HD screen and 4G, then under £310 will secure it for you...
. Personally I'm jealous as hell, 'cause my wife's been issued a Surface Pro...
