Nokia could be on the highway to hell and be about to start a few fires
with its Windows Phone 8 handsets.
That's the word according to The Verge anyway, which is reporting
that Nokia is preparing two new Windows Phone phones for AT&T:
The Nokia Prodigy and the Nokia AC/DC.
Citing "sources close to the company's plans", the report says
the Nokia Prodigy will be a Windows 8 "superphone" and the
AC/DC aimed at the mid-range masses. A promotional video - starring Joe
Belfiore, Microsoft senior vice-president and Windows Phone
product manager and leaked last month - seemed to detail Windows
Phone 8. Dubbed Apollo, the new OS will supposedly see several hardware
spec changes to the Microsoft mobile operating system including support
for multicore processors, new screen resolutions and the ability to expand
a Windows Phone's memory via microSD. Other specs mentioned included NFC support for contactless payments, a wallet experience and a reworking
of the camera and photo elements of the operating system.
HTC has already confirmed to Pocket-lint that it plans to launch
new Windows Phone devices when Microsoft reveals the public
availability of Windows Phone Apollo later this year.
The HTC chaps are going to have to think up some better names than
Nokia's efforts though. After all, it's a long way to the top and that's the
way it is .

I posted this already then deleted it, I admit it was a bit confusing naming them after bands when it's actually nothing to do with them at all

Why did they engrave an ant on a Batman phone ?

from hungary i think. they are closing all their european factories minus the one in finland where they will make some high end devices. the rest of the production it's moved to china because that is where they get the components. this is how the world economy works now. ironic that while western firms move to china, chinese firms open bussinesses in the western world

bullshit, these are just codenames. untill now the lumia line had code names like champagne, sea ray, ace.. probably all the future phones have codenames inspired by bands.
but yeah doesn't seem to be real news concerning prodge. lock it up
