Hi Everyone,
Just out of curiosity and discussion purpose.
Seems like all the new Lumia phones are using MS branding rather than Nokia. With the deal Nokia made with MS, Nokia cannot enter into the smartphone field until 2016. Does this mean Nokia can possibly be back in the smartphone game come early 2016 (regardless of OS - possibly Android?)?
For me, one of the main reason I used the WP platform is because of the strong Nokia branding - but i am not sure will i want any phones made by MS (although their surface is quite nice). If Nokia comes back in 2016 (which i hope they do), I will be curious on what type of phones they will make...my gut feeling is they will go with Android, just like the N1 tablet.
For the Nokia fans out there...will this sway your decision to move away from WP platform and stick with Nokia, even if they go with Android?
Thanks!
