I thought that Microsoft was getting rid of the Nokia brand?

They did, because it's Nokia's brand, not Microsoft's. We (Nokia) are doing this independently of Microsoft.

Probably not the right place to ask but any guarantees N1 will not go Nokia X way?

I think that Nokia X was "product of Microsoft" (although planned long before the deal). This is product of Nokia, that means remaining parts of Nokia after mobile division was sold to Microsoft. So two different companies, same brand.

Which part of Nokia? Networks, HERE or Technologies?

They are.

This is not Microsoft making tablet with Nokia brand. This is Nokia the company making their own Tablet.

Nokia only sold its ‘Devices and Services’ business to Microsoft and licensed its brand for transition period to MS.
