We got an invite from Nokia Global to attend the launching of new devices in Abu Dhabi this October 22. Aside from the rumored Lumia 1520, 6 more devices will be announced in the event.

This was confirmed to me by one of the regional reps from Nokia last week during the local launch of the Lumia 1020.

The 7 devices will definitely include new Lumia smartphones, a Windows RT tablet (or probably two) and the rest could be Asha handsets.

We’ll definitely get you the details as we cover the entire event live in Abu Dhabi on the 22nd.

Good one for Nokia, but i hope they will be launching a new features that can make them different like what LG done with their LG G2. They have their rear key, audio zoom, 13mp OIS Camera and so much more. :)

yeah! agree for that!

nakuha mo pang magpalit ng email para masabeng madami “kayo” na pinopromote ang g2 kahit halata naman na iisang tao lng kayo.

kung mag-iiswitch sila sa android edi sana bentang-benta sila.

wew · 13 years ago

hindi rin….cguro nga sa simula pwede kasi kumbaga eh established na ang android kahit may mga cons,pero di pa ganun katagal ang windows at in the next years pwedeng mas maganda pa to sa android,o kahit sa iOS.

Windows Phone is the obvious alternative to iOS and Android

wew · 13 years ago

@mj i disagree with you, siguro for ex. ung Ubuntu pede mo pang masabeng alternative sa android since mejo may pagkapareho cla pero ang windows marami siyang unique features na wala sa nabanggit na OS

Mr. Curious · 13 years ago

imagine iOS in lumia phones, it’ like a pacquiao vs mayweather fight; too good to be true.

mj · 13 years ago

@wew nope, hindi pa nga pinapalabas sa market yung mga devices with ubuntu os eh, wala pang final build. WP is, it is gaining traction, slowly by slowly.

wew · 13 years ago

di ko naman sinasabi na nanjan na ang Ubuntu OS, ang sinasabi ko lang eh maraming pinagkapareho ang Android sa Ubuntu kaya pedeng alternative to.

Mr. Curious · 13 years ago

maybe 1520 = 50 to 60 mega pixel camera hahahaa!

mj · 13 years ago

20MP lang yan haha

wew · 13 years ago

@Mr. Curious ang alam ko din 20mp lang,di ko lang matandaan kung san ko nabasa lol

Mr. Curious · 13 years ago

ah hahaha I’m just assuming that the higher the number in their lumia line, the higher the pixels are hahahaha. Oh well I guess no matter how good / great / cheap (maybe) / innovative nokia’s phone are, it will never reign again unless they invest in the app development area. everything in lumia phones are already good and great, from hardware to software, APPS NA LANG! NOKIA PLEASE! APPS NA LANG EH IBIGAY MO NA! HAHAHA

@Mr. Curious they’re now investing in app development, un nga lang mejo mabagal ung pagusad ng pagdevelop ng apps…well di naman ako after sa number of apps kahit sana unahin muna nila ung mga basic at popular apps saka na nila isunod ung mga walang kwenta hahaha

Mr. Curious · 13 years ago

@wew: exactly. I just can’t seem to understand why can’t they see this problem. Their company is dying and they’re just plain blind overlooking at this issue. Well I don’t know, I’m not a tech savvy nor tech guru. maybe there are compatibility/technical issues? in creating these apps for wps?

wew · 13 years ago

i think nokia’s(or microsoft) really doing its best to suffice the lack of apps, tingin kolang ang problema eh ung mismong app developers na ayaw pa munang gumawa ng windows version since di pa ga ganun kapopular ang nasabing OS hahaha pero taon lang ang bibilangin nyan at mawawala ndin yang problema na yan =)

Mr. Curious · 13 years ago

yup! hopefully one day they’ll be enlighten and shall the reign of nokia will once again dominate. Just a thought thou since the biggest competitor of iOS is indeed android, why don’t nokia and apple collaborate and create a lumia phone with iOS. or an open-source iOS hahaha
