Nokia world will happen in London next week, and we already know that we will see at least one Windows Phone device from Nokia. What we have heard so far is that there may be more than one unveiled.
Now Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer, has revealed that Nokia will announce a “bunch of new devices running Windows Phone” next week, maybe at least two Nokia Windows Phone smartphones.
Many people are looking forward to see what Nokia will showcase at next weeks Nokia World. Will Windows Phone be enough to touchbase with Androids and Apple devices?
Just today, Microsoft and Nokia have announced that they will be holding a joint special event in Cologne, Germany on the 17th of August. Will this event be the day that they will finally reveal their first Nokia Windows Phone 7 device? Microsoft recently released their Windows Phone 7 Mango to manufacturers, and we could expect the first Windows Phone 7 mango device from Nokia later this month. We have seen photos of the Nokia Windows Phone 7 prototype, and based on the photos and videos online, it resembles the Nokia N9. We really can’t wait for their announcement, and we do hope it happens anytime soon.
Nokia and Microsoft’s partnership has been announced a while back, and since then we’ve not seen their upshot collaboration phone, and we’ve been waiting to hear when they would become available.
Today, it looks like that their first Windows Phone 7 handsets will be available in Europe in quarter 4 of 2011, as Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop confirmed in an interview that the devices would be launching in certain European countries in Q4.
Elop said in the interview that we will see Nokia Windows Phone 7 devices available in six European countries this year which include the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.
There are no details given as of yet, as to when the Nokia WP7 device will be available in the US and other European countries including their home country of Finland.
As always, we’ll keep you posted as soon as we get some information on exactly when the first Windows Phone 7 devices from Nokia.
We all know that Microsoft has teamed up with Nokia. Their partnership was announced earlier in the year, and i guess a lot are waiting to find out when the first Nokia Windows Phone 7 device would be available.
Nokia has now officially confirmed that their first Windows Phone 7 device will be released in Q4 of 2011. Meaning, we will see the first WP7 Nokia device hit the stores just in time for Christmas.
Nokia seems to be happy with progress on its Windows Phone strategy, and has gained a lot of confidence that the first Nokia product with Windows Phone will ship in the fourth quarter 2011.
We still don’t have any specifications on the new Nokia Windows Phone 7 devices, as soon as we get more information we will let you guys know.
I guess this year will be the year of the Tablets! There are lots of tablets being released and guess what, Nokia seems to be entering this scene! The device (photo) above is a Nokia tablet-style device running MeeGo which has been rumored over at the mobile-review forums. As per our sources, we received information that it packs a 4.5-inch display. Though regarding its specs, we didn’t get any and we don’t have any clue whether this thing will ever actually make its way to market or not.
The Nokia E7, the latest smartphone from the brand is up on pre-order and is available for anyone willing to spare $679 for the carrier-unlocked quadband-GSM device over at Amazon.
The Nokia E7 features a 4-inches AMOLED display, a landscape QWERTY keyboard, an 8 megapixel camera sensor on the back with dual-LED flash and much more. It runs on Symbian 3 OS and comes with 16GB of internal storage and can support both AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S. and will run on 3G data network.

Not too long ago Rogers released a handset that had not been heard of before, the LG Loop. Now its seems that the company has once again released another unheard device. This time is called the Nokia 6700 “slide.” The device is available for Rogers starting at $79.99 on a 3-year contract (yikes!) , $129.99 on a 2-year contract, $199.99 on a 1-year, and $229.99 for just a month to month basis with no contract, or just the phone itself. As of now the phone is really not impressing me at all, the prices seem kind of ridiculous for a phone that looks a little outdated. But some may just be interested in what the phone has to offer not how it looks on the outside.
Some of the specs include a smooth slide design, social networking capabilities. A 5.0 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera (not too bad) with LED flash, auto focus and video. The phone also comes with FM radio, ovi services, and 3G speeds up to 10.2 Megabytes per second.
Nokia X5 is the newset addition to the brand’s Nokia “X” family. This Nokia X5 is powered by Symbian OS- S60 3rd edition. It looks simple, but mind you this one is feature packed. It has a 2.4 inch QVGA display, a 5 MP camera with video recording capabilities at 30 frames per second, a 3.5mm headphone jack for MP3 player, an FM-radio receiver, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, and an alphanumeric keyboard.
