Nokia's WP7 phones to use U8500 dual-core 1.2GHz chipsets?

20 May, 2011
The CEO of ST-Ericsson got chatty in front of Forbes and said that Nokia’s Windows Phone 7 will be powered by their U8500 dual-core CPU and its successors will go on to power Windows Phone 8 phones too...

They still don't have a device ready so the best they can do is to release some juicy tidbits and hope it will make news. Like they say, any publicity is good publicity.

        I can't do without my Nate (N8) FM transmitter is a must. I hope they include this feature in the future models.

          The only reason I chose an N8 over a WP7 device is because the current offerings are crap (htc,samsung,LG - no thanks. By the time I next have to upgrade my handset Windows phone will have matured nicely.

              Nokia have to go down so that, they will learn sense.
              Do u know why nokia didnt use 1500mah battery on N8? whiles it can extend battery time.
              Do u know why nokia didnt use 1ghz processor on N8? Whiles it can sells the N8.
              I dont think nokia can come out with something better.
              It was long time that nokia got to know that symbian cant support resolution higher than 640x360, but they did nothing about it. It will be easier to rewrite symbian to support 1280x720.
              Nokia has caused symbian downfall. Symbian is counted down because it is running on low processors, ram, resolution.
              If symbian can run fast on low processors and ram, then why dont u put it on high processors and ram so that it will be the fastest.

                by the time they release their so called as good as galaxy s2 processor, Samsung will reach to the next level. as i see, Samsung are too fast, too quick, too cunning.
                i hope Nokia catches their speed with the new windows phone 8 atleast as for windows phone 7, is too complicated to sync and to download.
                we need something snip! easy. that's where Android kicked every one's aasses.

                                Offcourse...win phone 7 is fluid operating system...but i think that its not as cool as android....we need the vast app store provided by android...by the way mango update and win phone 8 seems good...but nokia must concentrate on app store

                                  AnonD-5197, 20 May 2011I have never owned a Nokia device because I gained interest... moreWell I'm agree

                                  Nokia is not the BEST of class, but has the respect of all others...

                                  Even in reviews Motorola, Samsung and even Apple admit the will be happy if their own devices had te impact of Nokia brand name....

                                  However Nokia need innovation, maybe this WP7 or 8 will be the extra fuel Nokia need to get a pump on their devices...Symbian was good, but WAS, now is just a plain OS to everyday use.

                                  Meego...I really don't now if will see the day light soon, WP is the way to go for now...let's see the N9, X8, C8 and the new W series how will be handled by the market...

                                    Ashura, 20 May 2011But that´s just my point Android phones don´t n... moreWell, it all boils down to preference I guess. You want flashy, fast UI, enjoy your Android. But I prefer a feature-rich, solidly built phone so I'm sticking with my N8 until Nokia announced a successor.
