Do not confuse Microsoft Mobile with Microsoft Mobile Services

Microsoft Mobile is hardware manufacturing company located not in REDMOND but in Espoo, Finland.

That Microsoft acquired Nokia's devices and services divison is knwn although details finalized this April 2014.

Microsoft Mobile will:

• Design Develop
• Manufacture
• Distribute Mobile Phones
• Smart Phones
• Tablet Computers
• Accessories

The 'Lumia' and the low end 'ASHA(Hope in Samskruta aka Sanskrit)' are owned by Microsoft.

I am not sure if 'Asha' can compete with 'Akash' which traces its DNA to INDIA?

In any case, I wish good luck to Microsoft Mobile.
