Farewell Nokia, welcome Microsoft Lumia

With deep feeling of nostalgia, we regret to announce the soon to be departed Nokia brand in the modern world of mobile telephony.

Yes, you read it right, the feeling of nostalgia is what greeted many Nokia fans at the news that Microsoft is finally about to rebrand it high end Nokia devices to Microsoft Lumia, implying that the name Nokia will soon be a thing of the past and will gradually fade into the thin air.

Nokia which once ruled the mobile phone industries and stood as king of mobile phone brand over a long period of time hasn’t had it easy at all in this recent times and highly competitive era of mobile telephony, where the likes of Google Android and Apple have decided to stamp stronger feet of authority in the present mobile industries and markets.

The stiffness in competition also saw Nokia being sold out to Microsoft sometimes in April this year in a deal that stood to the tune of $7.2billion which handed over Microsoft most of the Finnish company telephone assets.

On my own part, definitely it will be a great miss in the brand name Nokia, as one of the great fan of Nokia during the time of Nokia Symbian phones. And I think we can do absolutely nothing about that at this moment since the now rightful owners have chosen to rebrand Nokia into Microsoft Lumia.

The rebranding was made known at first in the recent removal of the Nokia brand on Microsoft France Facebook page, which saw all traces of “Nokia” replaced with Microsoft Lumia.

Now the information gathered so far is that, it seems the facing out of the Nokia brand will be done gradually and regionally, with France standing as the number one country in the order of Nokia face-out.

It is not strange to say that Nokia is not the only famous mobile brand to face what is currently happening to the once Finnish giant company, as other famous brand like Ericsson also faced similar fate in the past when there was a total buy out of Ericsson by Sony.

Again, recently, the rumour making the round is that the famous Chinese company Lenovo is on the verge of buying out the giant Canadian company Blackberry.

In this world of high mobile industry completion, any company that fails on its part to meet up or decide to lag in any way, immediately sees their competitor take advantage of the slip to reign over.

Finally, we cannot but still show our deep feeling for nostalgia to the Nokia brand by saying “Nokia, we will greatly miss you as you came in and change the mobile industry with Nokia as synonym to mobile telephony”.
