With September inching ever closer, sources close to Nokia have begun to spill the beans on what we will see from the Finns at the September 5 Windows Phone 8 launch.
The sneaky sources have let slip that there will be two new Windows Phone 8 devices from Nokia, one codenamed "Arrow" and the other "Phi".
The Verge's sources reckon they'll both be Lumia handsets, with Nokia Phi being an AT&T exclusive so possibly US only to begin with, but if it's a flagship handset, we don't imagine this will be the case.

The Phi will also come with a large curved glass display and a polycarbonate casing, in line with the photo leak we saw earlier this month.
The Phi details are backed up by analyst Eldar Murtazin who often shoots his mouth off about upcoming Nokia hardware with varying degrees of accuracy.
He reports that the Phi has a 4.7-inch OLED screen and a "high-capacity" battery. If all the sources are to be believed, the Phi will sit at the higher end of the range as successor to the Lumia 800 and 900.
Deatails on the Arrow are scarce, but it is said to be a mid-range handset also running Windows Phone 8.
TechRadar will be on hand at the joint Microsoft-Nokia event to bring you all the factual details as they break; until then, check out our initial thoughts on the software in our hands on Windows Phone 8 review.
