Nokia reportedly working on a QWERTY design for 1st Windows Phone

It should be not too shocking that Nokia will produce numerous styled devices for Windows Phones--subsequently all, they're quite creative over there. And then the rumor that one of Nokia'south first devices will feature a total QWERTY keyboard should non be too much a surprise.

According to ShinyShiny, who were at a Nokia effect yesterday, a rep for the company was a little loose lipped on some details most their foray into Windows Phones:

"...expect a Blackberry-rivalling QWERTY telephone in that line-up of phones out this year. Nokia accept a A rep said that Nokia wanted to cater to the business market, that Windows Phone was a natural pick for the business user and that business users wanted QWERTY keyboards. I'm taking that every bit "yes we are releasing a QWERTY phone in our 2022 line-upwardly"."

Sounds plausible. So once again, we're expecting a fleck of everything from these guys, so information technology's just a thing of time anyways. Regarding the release engagement, nothing too new their either, just similar Mango, things look to be ahead of schedule:

"The official release engagement for the phones is quarter 4 - the last three months of the twelvemonth - but given that there was a Nokia Windows telephone floating around at a Nokia outcome final night (obviously), I doubtable we'll be seeing one sometime circular the starting time of that period - September."

Yup, we imagine we could "encounter" a device in September with a release in October/November. Remember, Nokia has said they won't show the phone till it'due south close to its final release date. We just know that the next six months should exist very exciting.
