Images emerge showing Microsoft's Windows-only mobile branding

The image above shows the backside of British manufacturer My Go's upcoming handset, the GoFone -- no, the company likely didn't forget adding "Phone" at the bottom of the Windows logo. Thing is, according to an internal document leaked to the internet recently, Microsoft's dropping the "Windows Phone" branding (and even the "Nokia" brand) in favor of just "Windows." This image, taken from GoFone's unlisted page (it even says "For internal use only") spotted by Neowin, hints that the earlier reports were true. Unlike the HTC One (M8) for Windows, which just omits "Phone" from its full name but still displays the platform's logo on the back panel, this one completely leaves out the branding. Microsoft's reportedly looking to unify Windows and Windows Phone under one name, because it plans to merge Windows Phone and RT into one platform. Redmond hasn't confirmed any of these yet, but we'll let you know if and when the company officially speaks up.
