去年（2013）微軟宣布以 72 億將 NOKIA 手機部門，外界認為微軟主要的用意在於要將背後龐大的手機專利拿到手，不過從最新外電曝光的資料來看，微軟公司還想運營手機，不過原本的 NOKIA 品牌將換以「Microsoft Mobile Oy」的形式出現。換言之，未來「NOKIA」的品牌名可能將會消失。

根據 NOKIAPoweruser 曝光的資料指出， 2014 年 4 月底將會完成 NOKIA 收購移轉程序，還告訴合作夥伴將會把名稱更改為 Microsoft Mobile Oy，產品名稱將不會以「NOKIA」的形式推出，主要的原因是 NOKIA 的 LOGO 使用權並不在微軟手上。
此外，Microsoft Mobile Oy 公司總部將從芬蘭的 Keilalahdentie 搬到 Keilaranta，除了持續運營現有的 NOKIA 手機業務，也將微軟 Surface 裝置的營運與開發都將會納入 Microsoft Mobile Oy 當中，並由前任 Nokia 執行長 Stephen Elop 擔任負責人，目前已經陸續與合作夥伴、供應鏈等重新簽署合約內容。
＊以下為微軟提供給供應商信件內容：
