Two new flagship Lumias and a new phablet!

now the question is: "will they be branded as Nokia Lumia or something else?"

They can't be branded "Nokia Lumia". Microsoft doesn't have the right to use the Nokia-brand on any Lumia smartphone that will be presented and released after the 25th of April, as per the terms of the deal with Nokia. The 930 will be the last Nokia-phone.
This has also a very logical reason: Nokia - the real Nokia, the one that still exists and has all the patents - can return to the smartphone market as of 1st January 2016. And Nokia's new CEO has clearly left the door open to that (along with the fact that the "Technologies" division is directed also towards developing things for "future devices and services").
So it wouldn't make much sense, from Nokia's point of view, to allow Microsoft to release Lumias in 2015 under the Nokia brand when Nokia can return with true Nokia devices in 2016. Not only that, Microsoft may want to *try* and make a name for themselves in the smartphone business...even though they'll live for quite a while under the shadow of what Nokia was.

Unless of course everyone just blatantly violates the deal. In which case we might see some less-friendly answers from the likes of Samsung and Google.
 
I might consider the Cityman if it will be a really worthy replacement for my 1520. So far, I'm very happy with this beast.
 
I'd like the Cityman since I'm interested in getting a phablet. I onto want to wait tat long though.

I'm hoping that McLaren is the successor to the 1020.
 
I hope TMob gets something soon. My Icon doesn't work very well on their network.
