Would you buy a Microsoft-branded Windows Phone?

When one poll closes, another one opens, and this time we want to know how you feel about the death of the Nokia brand.

It’s been over two weeks since Microsoft announced its intentions to buy Nokia’s devices business and we’ve known that the Nokia brand is likely to disappear from smartphones, although the Lumia brand should remain.

What we want to know is whether or not you would buy a Microsoft-branded Windows Phone or are you only buying Windows Phone for the Nokia branding?

It’s well known that Nokia is still a strong brand across Europe, but since speaking to some people from a wide spectrum it seems that we all have different views regarding this issue.

So please do take the time to vote in the What Mobile poll, and let us know: Microsoft all the way or Nokia needs to stay?
