Barry French – (Twitter handle @bhfrench) is Nokia’s new Executive Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Affairs. In a chat with Network’s Twitter handle @NSNtweets, he has mentioned that @Nokia still will be the official Nokia Twitter handle and will cater to Microsoft’s Nokia banded products too. This is bit of a surprise as Nokia’s online, sites and social handles were supposed to be managed by Microsoft up to one year post deal closure. So, it seems Nokia is not letting the Twitter handle go away at least, or may be after one year Nokia’s social accounts return to Nokia.
We have @nokia for Nokia news & Nokia-branded Microsoft products, @NSNtweets for Networks & @here for HERE. #NokiaNext
