Nokia (which continues to see declines) was hit a blow when Microsoft announced that existing Windows Phone devices could not upgrade to Windows Phone 8 as it left current owners between a rock and a hard place and it would most certainly deter some new buyers from buying a device with an OS that was soon to be outdated.
Reports are however, that Nokia will be releasing devices rocking the anticipated Windows Phone 8 as early as September, that is way ahead of their competitors. If you are a Nokia fan or a fan of Windows Phone, then this is most certainly good news... a double rainbow if you wish. For Nokia, this is crucial, because it would allow them to gain important foothold in the lead-up to fall mobile sales as well as the upcoming holiday season and also against Apple as there are reports that Apple might also release it's new mobile phone and OS later this year.
The new Nokia devices, reportedly the Nokia Lumia 910 and 920 are expected to sport multi-core processors and High Resolution displays as Windows Phone 8 supports processors of up to 64 cores and a 720p high res displays. This is all thanks to Windows Phone 8 sharing it's core with Windows 8. As such, you can expect alot of additions, upgrades and perks in the upcoming release. The devices are expected to included Nokia PureView imaging technology which the monster Nokia 808 PureView sported with its impressive 41MP camera.
If the report does turn out to be true, then Nokia has some time to gain traction in the smartphone market. This may be one of the best chances they might ever get.
