On October 26 Nokia will be holding it's Nokia World conference in London. It's the moment a lot of Windows Phone fans have been waiting for as this could mean the release of several new Windows Phones made by Nokia.
Attending the conference will be several big names. Obviously Nokia's CEO, Stephen Elop, will be speaking alongside many other higher ups in Nokia's team. Aside from Nokia, Windows will have several big names from their Windows Phone team including Corporate Vice President, Joe Belfiore. Several other companies will have their upper level staff present as well, one of these companies being EA games.
This day is sure to bring us some much wanted information. We are looking at the release of what could be about 3 phones for the Windows Phone platform, the Nokia 800 or "SeaRay", a smaller version called "Sabre" and there's even chance that a more business focused device will be launched under the name "Ace".
Some news states that Windows Phones on Nokia hardware will not be available until 2012 but the conference should verify or deny this rumor.
Many people have been asking why Nokia is so significant to Windows Phone. Most everyone knows about their partnership to create new Windows Phones on Nokia's top of the line hardware, but many people are unaware of what kind of leverage this gives Nokia. Nokia now has the power to tinker with hardware and even software in the Windows Mobile devices they launch. Because they have a special partnership with Microsoft, Nokia has the ability to add their own software suites as well as create phones that don't exactly fall within the minimum specs that Microsoft has given to other OEMs. Nokia will be the only company that will be allowed to make these changes, thus giving them a lot of leverage when you're comparing a Nokia versus any other manufacturer.
All these rumors have us excited and should make you excited too if you plan on your next phone being a Windows Phone... phone.
