MicroLumia

 

Images from Chinese regulator TENAA show a new Lumia handset with Microsoft branding at the front and rear in what appears to be a bigger version of the Lumia 530. The new device is simply labelled RM-1090 for now, but it offers dual-SIM support with what will likely be low-end specifications

Microsoft Drops the 'Nokia' Tag in the New Lumia Phones

 

These are leaked images so if it gets taken down , You haven't heard anything from me..  

 

Still looks ugly imo

 

 This new handset appears to be the latest low-end Windows Phone from Microsoft, an approach that the company is using to try and push the overall operating system market share as it struggles to compete with Android on cost and features.

 

AFAIK sources seem to be verified & original, if it's BS let me know i'll take this down ASAP.

Windows Phone Twitter and Facebook pages to be renamed Microsoft Lumia Nov. 7

 

 

Microsoft will officially rename its official Windows Phone Twitter and Facebook accounts to the new Microsoft Lumia brand on Friday, November 7 as part of the company's efforts to ditch the Nokia name, and ultimately the Windows Phone brand, from its smartphones.

 

Microsoft had already announced back in October that its Windows Phone social networking accounts will be renamed to Microsoft Lumia but today is the first time we got a specific date on when that will actually happen. Only the names of the accounts are changing; nothing else will be altered.

 

The changes are all part of Microsoft's previously announced plans to focus on the Lumia brand for their smartphones. It also shows that the company is downplaying the Windows Phone branding as a whole, and that the company could in the future simply refer to the mobile version of its OS as "Windows" as part of a unified marketing effort across smartphones, tablets, and PCs.

Do not want! bring back Nokia

[handymanshandle]

Nokia should have ran when they had the chance.

Looks like a shrunken Surface... (like the old Lumias didn't look like them)

 

If it still has that Nokia soul under that Microsoft mask, I might consider it...

Elop worked for Microsoft before Nokia, which could explain how Microsoft literally got a stranglehold of the company.

Current series of nokia phones ARE SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE. 830 costs like nexus 5 and it sucks in comparison.

I really hope Nokia manages to pick itself up after all of this and put out some really great products again. They were such a powerhouse in the mobile space for such a long time.

There's a few rumors heading around that they're going to put out an Android flagship device. Hopefully they do.

They still have 18 months before the can release one under their own name, but they could release something under a new company or another company.

for how long?

for how long?

For how long which?

[Whiskers]

Hm. I actually quite like it, superficially at least. Their newer-style logo has a very
clean and simple look to it which lends well to the Windows Phone aesthetic.

Ah, that may explain it.

As long as it isn't crap, I'm not fussed. Bring some excellent low end devices in and you're in business.
