真的掰了!Nokia 将更名为 Microsoft Mobile Oy

记者洪圣壹台北报导

去年(2013)微软宣布以 72 亿将 NOKIA 手机部门外界认为微软主要的用意在于要将背后庞大的手机专利拿到手,不过从最新外电曝光资料来看,微软公司还想运营手机,不过原本的 NOKIA 品牌将换以「Microsoft Mobile Oy」的形式出现。换言之,未来「NOKIA」的品牌名可能将会消失

根据 NOKIAPoweruser 曝光的资料指出, 2014 年 4 月底将会完成 NOKIA 收购移转程序,还告诉合作伙伴将会把名称更改为 Microsoft Mobile Oy,产品名称将不会以「NOKIA」的形式推出,主要的原因是 NOKIA 的 LOGO 使用权并不在微软手上

此外,Microsoft Mobile Oy 公司总部将从芬兰的 Keilalahdentie 搬到 Keilaranta,除了持续运营现有的 NOKIA 手机业务,也将微软 Surface 装置营运与开发都将会纳入  Microsoft Mobile Oy 当中,并由前任 Nokia 执行长 Stephen Elop 担任负责人,目前已经陆续与合作伙伴、供应链等重新签署合约内容
