While I may sympathize with your point, we can't tolerate personal attacks or insults here at WPC. If it's too absurd, ignoring it may be a better tactic ;-)

You're quoting a document that was discussed during the "Extraordinary General Meeting" in September. That's 8 months prior to the actual closing of the deal, after the legal parts had been worked and reworked more times than one can count. Furthermore, that document neither confirms nor denies the general usage of the Nokia brand for Microsoft. The mere fact that neither Stephen Elops nor Greg Sullivan denies the possibility of Nokia branded Lumias should give you a hint as to their legal rights in that field. Whether they actually will do it is completely different.

[QUOTE="DJCBS, post: 2582338, member: 208681"]1 - Nokia's social network teams got the wrong info. That often happens with these things, specially when the social network employees aren't neither lawyers nor people connected with the governance of a company.[/QUOTE]

Ah, but of course you [I]are[/I] a lawyer and/or a person connected to the governance of Nokia and therefore know these things...
Microsoft are in control of the Nokia Twitter account, and their statement hasn't been withdrawn or corrected. The official spokespersons are being vague on the matter of branding future Lumias "Nokia" not because they know they legally can't do that, but because they don't know if they [I]should[/I] do that.

[QUOTE="DJCBS, post: 2582338, member: 208681"]Microsoft will use the Nokia brand in S30, S40 and X mobile devices. They will not use it on Lumia devices. They can't and they didn't bother to get a license for it after the original deal either. He answered it, you're probably just not smart enough to read what he said between the lines.[/QUOTE]

No, my telepathy is clearly not on par with that of yours. Tell me; how do you know the 'X series' will have the Nokia brand on it when it's not a feature phone and therefore not included in the "Extraordinary General Meeting" S30 and S40 part of the contract? I'm willing to guess you don't.

The bottom line, and take home message for you here DJCBS: You know exactly as little about this as the rest of us. You're just being a massive D-bag with a superiority complex.
