The following is
nothing but a rumor, and should definitely be treated as one, so if you
want to read it anyway, make sure you have a salt shaker nearby. Ready?
Okay, here we go. According to WPDownUnder – an Australian blog devoted to Microsoft's mobile platform, at least three manufacturers are currently testing a Windows Phone 8 handset of their own.
Multiple sources claim that test units made by Nokia are within the
country, with possibly devices by HTC and Samsung being tested as well.
It is said that the styling of the Nokia Windows Phone 8 device is "almost identical" to that of the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900,
although the internal hardware might be totally different. That said,
today's rumor should not be interpreted as a hint that these two current
handsets will be updated to WP8 one day. There is no information about
the alleged Samsung and HTC WP8 smartphones, so their existence is still
highly questionable.
We are expecting to know
more about Windows Phone 8 and the devices it will run on within the
following weeks. The Windows Phone Developer Summit begins on June 20,
and that is when we are expecting to see the platform's next iteration
in all its glory.
