Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 will be released on November 2
for AT&T subscribers, International Business Times said
Windows Phone 8 features :It represents a huge step
forward from its predecessor, Windows Phone 7, by bringing some overdue
features to the table and
introducing some unexpected new ones.
Key features that Windows Phone 8 gets from Windows
include Internet Explorer 10, complete with the phishing filter and SmartScreen
application reputation service to make it harder for malicious websites to
trick you into giving away personal information like credit card details or
downloading malware.
Sources familiar with Nokia’s plans have said that the
company is working with Microsoft and AT&T to undergo numerous tests
required to approve the Windows Phone 8 handset within that time frame.
Reuters also points to a November release date for
Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 device in Europe as well, citing sources at European
telecoms operators on Friday. This launch window comes approximately two months
after Apple is expected to launch its highly anticipated iPhone 5, which is
expected to be announced on Sept. 12.
During the Sept. 5 keynote, Nokia did not mention any
news about which carrier would be offering its new Windows Phone 8 handsets.
However, Verizon has confirmed that the carrier will be selling multiple
Windows Phone 8 handsets in Q4 of 2012, according to CNET.
