Microsoft finally confirmed today that it will drop Nokia in favor of Microsoft Lumia branding - and the MS logo will also be used on new devices



From Neowin:

We've known for some time now that Microsoft has been planning to phase out the use of the Nokia brand on its devices, since taking over that company earlier this year. There have been numerous clues of this recently, including the launch of the first Microsoft-branded phone charger, and the Nokia France Facebook account confirming that the Nokia name was on the way out this week.

And yet, despite the many weeks of rumors and clues that have pointed to this, Microsoft had this week still not acknowledged its plans to drop the Nokia name. But today, the company finally announced its plans to transition from 'Nokia Lumia' to 'Microsoft Lumia'.
