Strange, Microsoft is going to be just like Apple.

Seems strange to get rid of the entire brand. Nokia is still a strong brand name in the developing world so I'm not sure why they want to get rid of it. 

Because Microsoft > Nokia by far

Not in terms of phone brand recognition. Most people don't even know MS makes phones or even has an phone operating system. And in developing countries, the old Nokia phones still sell a huge amount. 

I remember Nokia 6600 was pretty awesome & blew my mind. Good time!
