Nokia to unveil multiple Windows Phones this year

mobile

Nokia has reportedly confirmed that it will introduce multiple Windows Phone handsets this year, rather than just one model as had been rumored previously. Speaking with Reuters, Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop said that the company will introduce multiple Windows Phone-powered products this quarter as the company begins a new chapter in its storied history. Nokia announced earlier this year that it would move away from Symbian and MeeGo, and instead build smartphones based on Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform. ”Our belief is that there is a clear opportunity for an alternative ecosystem,” Elop told Reuters just ahead of Apple’s iPhone unveiling on Tuesday. Nokia is expected to introduce its first Windows Phone devices later this month at its annual Nokia World event in London.

    A good Nokia WP on Verizon would be great. I enjoy WP7 on my brothers Focus, but there is a lot left to be desired hardware side. I still throughly enjoy my iPhone, but if Apple won’t make a change Id like to

    Windows Phone 7 is pretty slick.  Unlike Android, it offers something truly different to iOS.  Verizon just needs to get a decent Noke WP7 phone as HTC’s hardware feels cheap.

    I am a Blackberry user but I am pretty excited about Nokia/WP launch. :) As a former Nokia user, I always have a great respect for Nokia. Too much, mismanagement cost them market share. I hope they will come back.

    I am very excited to own a Nokia Windows Phone.  The fact of the matter though, none of these devices announced and/or released this year will be heading to the USA.  I predict at least a 6 month wait for any Nokia device to his the USA.  I am stuck with no cell phone at all until then thanks to Blackberry quality.

    I am in your same boat and agree with your comments completely.

    A keyboard model would be nice. A keyboard CDMA model would be *really* nice.

    Nokia isn’t known for good hardware, but at least it finally has a good OS.

    Nokia and many other phone makers for WP7 dropped that ball on this one, this phone, and many others, should have been released Oct 6th….all with the Mango goodness…

    In hindsight yes, but had Apple announced a killer iPhone 5 everybody would have skipped right by an Oct. 6th launch of any device.  They had to wait.

    This is the only threat to Android.  Other than this Android could be looking at 100% market share.  Talk about choice!
