Nokia Windows Based Phone to be launched in Europe

Nokia is going to launch very new windows smart phones but not in India as of now. They are launching their windows phone first in Europe.

The phones will make their debut in UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. There is though no confirmed news but we believe they will in other part of Europe soon.

This is the first image you'll see anywhere of the early fruit of Microsoft and Nokia budding new partnership.

The company's Europe vice president Victor Saeijs said Windows Phone 7 handsets will debut in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the U.K. The long-awaited news comes after Nokia and Microsoft inked signed a partnership deal earlier this spring, allowing the handset maker to produce smartphones running Windows Phone OS.

Analysts are predicting Nokia, which now controls 24 percent of the smartphone market, will relinquish its crown as top global handset maker, a title held since 1996, to Samsung and Apple.

Although the above mentioned European countries will be getting the phones first, it should be available very soon elsewhere worldwide. Victor Saeijs also confirmed that Nokia will be releasing a Windows Phone in mid 2011.
