That's why it'll be titled a "Surface Phone" and not just "Surface", the same way just "galaxy" is a phone and "galaxy tab" is a tablet...It brings a unison and erases contrast in branding between phone and tablet...not saying that it's the right or wrong thing to do..just saying that it wouldn't at all be nonsense to name the flagship Surface Phone..and everyone talking about how the Lumia name is so big...that's not true here in the U.S... everybody has heard of a windows phone ( and Nokia) but not too many common people know Lumia, and the U.S would be the main target for Microsoft's flagship anyway, since the other countries like India where Lumia is popular are all the main buyers of the budget Lumia's.....just sayin
Surface doesn't make sense on a phone besides the galaxy tab is a tablet not a phone. Just like the other company's have it
Apple , Samsung
Apple iPad : tablet
Apple iPhone : phone
Apple iPad mini : smaller tablet
Samsung Galaxy s : phone
Samsung Galaxy tab : tablet
Samsung Galaxy note : phablets and tablets with styles
Msft lumia xxx : phone
Msft surface pro x: high end tablet
Msft surface x : affordable tablet
As you can see each company has a clear distinction of what each product line is why should msft change their flagship phone to a surface. To me it doesn't really make sense. Also if I may add I'm in Cali going to college and when I get asked I get questions to me saying " is that a lumia or a lumia phone " I wouldn't go as far as saying lumia isn't a name but it's getting there.
