Will Nokia have additions to WP 8.1 as they do with WP8 GDR2 + Amber or WP8 GDR3 + Black?
When the deal is closed (this month) "Nokia" is going to be a part of the WP team. Software and hardware will be built to match each other perfectly. So, from now on, I don't think there are going to see any more updates like Nokia Amber or Nokia Black. "Nokia" phones will just use the main version of WP because they will be (helping) developing it!
not actually. Nokia was in development. but due to circumstances they stopped releases.Nokia stopped development for Symbian at the Belle update. Now, Nokia will technically stop development at the Black update.
It seems Nokia can update anything past the letter B! I just find this a little amusing :smile:

all people make a common mistake.I think the Nokia deal will go through. When Windows Phone 8.1 is launched, Nokia may need to release firmware to go along with this, or they may not. The firmware, while it may contain enhancements to cameras and whatnot, generally consists of drivers to make the hardware work properly with 8.1. Even if Microsoft has absorbed Nokia by then, there won't have been any time for the two companies to start working as one, so Nokia will still need to release their drivers separately. They may already have 8.1 and are working on the firmware, but no one has said anything for sure.
