Official handset image shows new Windows Phone with ‘Windows’ branding

There were a lot questions surrounding Nokia’s acquisition by Microsoft and during the past few weeks we have been hearing about how Microsoft is planning to change its branding for the mobile devices. The aim is to slowly fade out the Nokia brand so that it is not used on the future handsets of the company. The surprising news is that the Windows Phone brand is also being dropped and this is going to be a major change which is also going to affect the hardware partners of Microsoft as well.

Microsoft is now going to focus on the single Windows brand which means that there is going to be a single platform for all its devices and form factors. There has been no public announcement or official acknowledgement of this as yet but the sources have informed us that these plans are most likely going to be confirmed soon.

About the Geek Mind

The “geek mind” is concerned with more than just the latest iPhone rumors, or which company will win the gaming console wars. I4U is concerned with more than just the latest photo shoot or other celebrity gossip.

The “geek mind” is concerned with life, in all its different forms and facets. The geek mind wants to know about societal and financial issues, both abroad and at home. If a Fortune 500 decides to raise their minimum wage, or any high priority news, the geek mind wants to know. The geek mind wants to know the top teams in the National Football League, or who’s likely to win the NBA Finals this coming year. The geek mind wants to know who the hottest new models are, or whether the newest blockbuster movie is worth seeing. The geek mind wants to know. The geek mind wants—needs—knowledge.
