    So you guys probably already know that two of my favorite brands are Microsoft and Nokia. Well, being that I am a Microsoft Windows Champion and I have had the pleasure to work with Nokia on a few events, I knew something was coming down the pipeline back in January but I've had to keep quiet...until now! Microsoft and Nokia Devices and Services business just officially publicly announced that they have united!

    Say what?! Yep, everything just became a lot #MoreColorful and I can't wait to see what happens next!

    The Official Word:

    Microsoft Corp. has announced the completion of its acquisition of Nokia Devices and Services business. The completion of the acquisition marks an important step in bringing these two organizations together as one team, a process that is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete.

    Stephen Elop, former Nokia President and CEO, will serve as executive vice president of Microsoft’s Devices Group, reporting to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Elop will lead an expanded team made up of Xbox, Xbox Live, Microsoft Studios, Microsoft Hardware, Surface and Nokia Devices and Services.

    Microsoft will continue to deliver new value and opportunity, and work closely with a wide range of hardware partners, developers, operators, distributors and retailers, providing platforms, tools, applications and services that enable them to make exceptional devices. With a deeper understanding of hardware and software working as one, the company will strengthen and grow demand for Windows devices overall.

    You can learn more about Nokia Smartphones and Tablets here and more about Windows Phones here.

    Get ready, folks, things are about to get really interesting!

      Love the bright colors! I have a nokia lumia 900 so I could stand to upgrade now but it reall ymade me fall in love with the windows operating system. Before I tried it I was scared that it would be way different but I really enjoy the layout and how smooth everything moves on screen. It just feels intuitive.

      Oh, wow. That's a big merger! I'm interested to see what products they come up with now that they are one.

      Maybe if I got a brightly colored phone I wouldn't spend so much time trying to find it. I love my iphone- but I am always interested to learn about new products!

      these phones look amazing! I love the bright colors, especially the yellow and the blue! I am in the market for a new phone, so this may be just what I need.

      I love the bright colors too! We've had Nokia phones in the past and I always liked them. I'd love to see how this partnership works out.

      I just purchased a new Nokia phone. One of the best things about the phone is that it is beautiful as well as a hard working and powerful device.
