Nokia may launch its Windows Phone 8 handsets at a special trade event in New York on September 5, according to rumours.
The Finnish manufacturer has a partnership with Microsoft and is now concentrating all its efforts on the Windows Phone operating system, after ditching its in-house Symbian smartphone platform.
According to the Guardian's telecoms correspondent, Juliette Garside, Nokia may unveil its latest handsets in New York, tweeting: "Big Nokia media event in New York on 5 September with Stephen Elop. Windows 8 handsets launch? #business"
Not the only one
TechRadar has also heard similar whisperings to this effect, although nothing concrete has been confirmed yet and it's not clear if Nokia is going to be launching any products that week.
What we do know is that there's a Nokia World event taking place during the first week in September – which could well be a suitable platform for the Finnish firm to make the announcement.
Reuters also reports that Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop has confirmed that he will unveil a new smartphone running Windows Phone 8 in the "relatively near term", although no exact date has been given.
