Microsoft hasn’t yet announced what it’s going to do with Nokia’s Windows Phones when the sale is completed in early 2014, but according to a What Mobile poll — it would be wise to continue using the Nokia branding.

According to those who set out to answer the poll on our website, 78.4 percent of you would prefer to buy a Nokia-branded Windows Phone over a Microsoft own-branded smartphone. We know that Nokia has strong brand loyalty in many emerging markets and throughout Europe, so this shouldn’t be a surprise.

The margin was substantial, with over 100 people voting for the Nokia brand, whilst the Microsoft brand was stuck at just 30 votes as of this morning.
