By far, the detailed official release of Windows Phone 8 OS still needs to be
confirmed. From previous rumors and reports, most of us would prefer to believe
a November release of Windows Phone 8 OS. But is this true? Probably not. Very recently,
Nokia and Microsoft have sent out invitations for a joint event on September 5th event in New
York City. And based on all clues and information, this upcoming event is
mostly likely to point to the first Nokia
Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices. As from the rumors collected previously,
this joint event on September 5th is most probably about a
mysterious device from Nokia codenamed under Nokia Phi.
According to the rumors, the Nokia Phi is
expected to sport a design similar to the one on the Lumia 900 with an equally sized 4.3-inch screen, but with a
dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and expandable memory via microSD.
Aside from the joint press event of Nokia
and Microsoft and the rumors about Nokia Phi, still some other reports also
show that there would be a big move from Nokia and Microsoft to compete with
their common rivals, Samsung and the next Apple iPhone. As reported, Samsung is
going to bring its competitive Galaxy
Note II to the market while the next Apple iPhone is reported to mostly be
unveiled on the September 12th event. And now, Nokia is also going to bring out their
first, or maybe the world’s first, Windows Phone 8 handset. Isn’t September a
big surprise for the world? And what else more could you ask for?
Oh, nearly forget to bring another fact to
this. Chris Webber, Nokia’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tweeted
the following words days ago to rival Samsung - "Samsung take note, next
generation Lumia coming soon." Feel the strong smell of gunpowder?
It is quite unusual for companies to directly call each other out so publicly, unless
they are going to bring something new, or they are in a lawsuit, obviously the
latter of which is a little reliable.
Anyway, these are just still our guess
work. We need to wait for the truth. Stay tuned for more detailed and latest
news.
