Microsoft will be using its new best buds Nokia to showcase some of the brand new features of its Windows Phone 8 operating system at this year’s Nokia World Summit in Finland this September.
Last month Microsoft announced the new mobile software that will be coming to market later this year along with its Windows 8 PC based operating system. At the initial announcement Microsoft focused more on the development of the software geared towards developers for the software.
At Nokia’s summit however it’s looking like Microsoft will be able to showcase and show off its new features and software on a working handset made by Nokia. The two companies have been closely attached since last year when Nokia switched to Microsoft’s phone OS for its new smartphones.
Since then Nokia has found a new success within WP7 branded Lumia smartphones including the Lumia 800, 900 and budget 710 smartphones. What Nokia has done for Microsoft is creating the best iteration of the mobile device software and has helped get the WP7 OS out to the masses, so a continued relationship will be benefitting both parties.
Nokia is expected to be releasing at least 2 new Windows Phone 8 software smartphones and many speculations regarding what phones will be released have been thrown about. There has been a large amount of codenamed devices leaked throughout the web via developer tools, such as the Lumia 910, Lumia 920, Lumia 950, and Lumia 1001 and a range of Belle branded handsets such as the 805.
What we do know is that the Windows Phone 8 OS will only be coming to new Nokia handsets as Nokia have already stated that the previous Nokia Lumia handsets will no be upgradable to the new OS.
Nokia and Microsoft will be showing off new phones and a huge preview of Windows Phone 8 at its summit starting September 5th.
