Nokia to launch first Windows Phone 7 device in Australia only in Q1 2012

[WP7R Exclusive]

Australian fans who are eagerly awaiting the launch of Nokia‘s first Windows Phone 7 will have to wait until Q1 2012. Nokia has just informed us this morning that they are working out a release for the Nokia Windows 7 Phone in Q1 2011 and that they can’t be more specific than that. In fact the exact words were:

We won’t be releasing a Nokia on Windows Phone until Q1 of next year. Can’t be more specific than that sorry!

The first Nokia Windows Phone is highly anticipated for the superior hardware quality of the Nokia Products working in tandem with the stylish, arty and robust Windows 7 Phone OS upgraded to Mango. Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop showed off Nokia’s first attempt with Windows Phone 7 codenamed “Sea Ray” which looked strikingly similar to the Nokia N9 running Meego. From the video it was also apparent that Nokia Sea Ray had a Carl Zeiss camera, a Windows button and was built like the N9. The Sea Ray is expected to ship with a 1 GHz single-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera, a 3.9″ touchscreen display.

    If I can’t import one Nokia just lost a sale to Samsung.

    How about posting the header section from Nokia’s post so all of us can examine it to check on its authenticity? Otherwise, your claim about them having made this comment is as credible as the likelyhood of Steve Jobs giving Steve Ballmer a *********.

    Hi! Thanks for your valuable comment. I contemplated publishing a screenshot and even uploaded the image but then I decided against it. Because I don’t have to publish it. If someone has an issue regarding its authenticity, they can write to me and I’ll send them a screenshot after an NDA is signed with WP7R.

    This is not an age restricted site, and hence refrain from using profanities.

    This isn’t really a surprise….
    Given Nokias well-known two pronged strategy WRT Harmattan/Belle launches in certain markets.
    And the 1st WP ph’s in select others…
