Microsoft renames Nokia phone business to Microsoft Mobile
21 Apr 2014
In an email to registered users, Nokia has confirmed the change of name. “With the completion of this transaction, a Microsoft Finnish affiliate* assumes responsibility for your personal data and the contractual relationships for the products and services related to this business. Microsoft cares deeply about your privacy and the protection of your personal data and will continue to collect and use your personal data in the same ways and for the same reasons as Nokia, and you should experience no difference as a result of the sale,” the email says. The contact details at the end of the email reveal the new name, Microsoft Mobile Oy, just as expected.
Get ready to bid adieu to hearing the name Nokia and smartphone in the same breath. If a leaked email from Microsoft is to be believed then the handset division of Nokia will be renamed Microsoft Mobile once Microsoft’s Nokia takeover is complete.
