It has been reported recently that there’s a new handset coming in the form of what appears to basically be a Nokia N8 that is flashed with the Windows 7 operating system. The handset is being dubbed the “Nokia W8″, which sounds somewhat catchy and would definitely fall in line with Nokia and Microsoft’s marketing strategy.
Whilst at the moment it’s purely just guesswork (either that or someone up the top with inside knowledge has leaked information, yay) it appears that the Nokia W8 will come with a Qualcomm CPU and Adreno 320 GPU along with the expected 12-megapixel camera – though exact specifications are widely open to debate. The expected release date of the phone is anticipated in early 2012 or even possibly Q2 of next year.
As we all know by now, Nokia and Microsoft and now in partnership to bring us the best and newest smartphones during next year and beyond – with Nokia’s hardware and Windows Phone 7 software, the whole project is seemingly a hit or miss situation. If it is to be successful the two companies desperately need to grab the attention of the American and European markets, a marketing campaign such as Apples would be sure to help in any such situation.
If we do see a Nokia W8 in the near future, what would you want from the smartphone in terms of hardware and even software variants?

Whenever I see “Nokia” and “soon” in the same sentence, I remember that there’s Web 2.0/Internet time and there’s geologic time. Somewhere between those two is Nokia Time. Most days, I think Nokia Time is closer to geologic time than most Nokia fans care to admit.
As if that weren’t bad enough, there are so many miles to go – and so many opportunities for barriers to derail it – for the Nokia + Microsoft partnership to prove itself, there’s no telling when or what will come out of it.
“Nokia W8″ and “near future” is just a concept so unlikely as to cause any speculation of what the user community might want is rendered a merely academic exercise.
Is it comming only for the nokia n8 or its comming for all the symbian ^3 devices..
Is it comming for nokia c7 ????? ^_^

When the Nokia and Microsoft will come together it will a make a good or perfect device with the window 7

RE: “No Microsoft on any of my gear!”
Apple nearly folded the last time Jobs left. This time he can’t come back to save them. Microsoft is playing catchup, but in a few years they could well be the best in class (as they are with X-box, browsers, Office where they also played catchup). But maybe you’ll want to eat your own words in a few years.
