Microsoft did NOT buy the Nokia brand... Just the phone division.

Also Microsoft can use the Nokia name for 18 months only, so again, it is just normal and expected.

 

If that's the case, then it makes sense. I knew they didn't buy all of Nokia, but wasn't sure what the restriction on using the Nokia brand for phones was.
