All nokia fans now u know how Trojan hourse works..... he he poor nokia.. they trusted thr CEO...after all he was our man...

so happy to see nokia die... and only MS... yapiiee..

What's up with people wanting companies to fail, or as you put it "die"; in this instance, Nokia who is one of the more innovative companies there have been. When was consumer choice a bad thing.

So, new Lumia phones will be branded with NOKIA or Microsoft?

 

[Jonathan Piferrer]

I think that Now, all oems will run away from WP, they just can't compete with Nokia Hardware and Microsoft together...

So, the WP sales will come down.... (Sadly)

This transaction has nothing amazing. Microsoft and Nokia are working together for some years now and the Finnish firm has contributed greatly to the success of Windows Phone.

I was expecting this will happen, so no big surprise for me. Big challenge ahead of MS now.

 

[Verner]

really? You think that the surface rt just needed better marketing and it would have sold all 6 million units?

yes.

Wow, definitely big news in the middle of the night. A brilliant move by Microsoft because they needed to secure Nokia. Good news for Nokia because MS has some deep pockets. Now MS is "officially" armed with a true smartphone division.

AND ELOP FOR CEO 2014!!!

*Sniff* Since the acquisition is still pending to shareholder and regulatory approval...

ANTITRUST LAWS! FINNISH SHAREHOLDERS! IT IS NOW YOUR TIME TO ACT!

 

[ammarmalik2011]

Seriously though where do the share holders and the board of directors come into this? They can't seriously be ok with this.

 

[seemaboss]

lol..... feeling bad for all nokia fanboys... they thought we wr thr to help... but we wr to kill them and take all off it..

down go nokia... hai microsoft

 

[snowmutt]

I feel very wierd about this. All this time, I was betting Nokia would never be adopted by MS. So, wrong again, I am not sure the lose of Nokia's identitiy is a good thing for WP. I loved that Nokia was a driving force as it's own life support depended on it. Now, it is part of the slow moving Monolith that is MS.

Sigh..... mixed feelings, but worried.

 

[theefman]

Not a positive move for me. Microsoft has shown with the Surface tablets that they have no idea how to run a hardware division and the WP team have taken the word "slow" to a whole new level. All the innovation, urgency, commitment that Nokia brought to WP will now be replaced with the typical Microsoft bureaucracy, complacency and ineffectiveness that has been the trademark of the Surface devices. Doubly sad that the Nokia that stood for class leading mobile devices will now be no more. Sad day indeed.

At the moment I write this, Nokia is up 43% in pre-market trading. The biggest single day surge in Nokia's history. If that holds when the markets open, then I'm pretty sure investors are very ok with this.

Nokia-branded smartphones to be phased out following Microsoft buyout - Tech News - Digital Spy

So its true, Microsoft will no longer be using the Nokia brand on smartphones only on feature phones? That's awful. Many customers brought into Windows Phone because of peace of mind of Nokia, otherwise if it didn't matter we'd all be using HTV or Samsung, Dell, LG etc...

Dumb idea by Microsoft.

Thanks for the note.

We will continue to build great devices, although yes, the naming will likely change.
