Microsoft’s Surface brand has had several hits over the last year
Uhh, such as...?
Ditching the Nokia name seems crazy to me: it's universally recognized, particularly outside the US. Any Indian slum or African village large enough to have a phone dealer will have a Nokia ad plastered on it, whereas outside our little incestous tech circles nobody has heard about the Surface.
- bobbles 13y agoI read it and thought of it as 'several hits' ie. 'taking a beating', but now I'm not so sure.
- SEMW 13y agoArticle says they're ditching the Nokia name for smartphones - more specifically, the Lumia line of smartphones running Windows Phone. Says nothing about ditching the Nokia name for the (much, much larger) Symbian-running feature phones lines, which have never used the Lumia branding. Nokia has a huge presence in the LEDC markets you mentioned, but the phones they're pushing there were never Lumia Windows phones.
