Nokia Account

Is there any reason to put my Nokia account on my new windows phone since Microsoft owns everything now?

Good question. I've wondered about that, too.

Good question. What was the reason to put a Nokia account on windows phones before they went away?

So that they could send you selected offers from carefully-chosen partners.

​I never worked out what use it was to end users - there may have been some niche sharing thing in Here. Or similar.

I don't use that Nokia account, it's actually linked to a yahoo server anyway. But I always get more useless selected offers from Google and Gmail. Maybe I'll give the Nokia/yahoo account a try, but I've had the Gmail account since before it went public, I was giving an invitation to the mail app and I also had 100 invites to send to everyone one else, so for those who I invited I'm sorry?

Same with my hotmail account, I had that for several years before being invited to gmail.
