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...

Well

Defenitly is a nail on Symbian coffin.

But is cool enough to get one. People don't realize Nokia don't want anything with Android, and is published Google has BEG on Nokias knees to adopt their OS but Nokias refuses...

They think Android is not a la par of their needs.

Meego is hard to say but I see WP7 is more closer to born than Meego, and I hope they don't trash Meego Project at all once they start to sold WM7 phones....

Let's see the future of Nokia, but for now, looks brighter and these new products BREAK anything that Nokias does before....

                [deleted post]Enjoy your future QuadCore 2GHz phone with half a day battery life... I'm fine with my SingleCore 1GHz Samsung Wave witch does everything I need and battery lasts 4-5 days (same goes for Nokia C7, N8 ) ....

                I've got to admit trough that Nokia's current line of phones suc.ks big time (exept lowend models) ... Give me a N900 (same specs) but slimmer and I'll buy it anytime ... Android is great, but I hate the fact that fuc.king opens applications in background all by itself

                        but i find nokia a bit interesting esp. the nokia n900
                        with the MEEGO os....

                                these phones are looking good, especially for nokia fanboys, but it needs to be launched fast.. if only nokia use WP7 earlier instead of stuck at their shitty OS.. things would've been different..

                                    The problem here is the w8 phone is likley to have this w8 os and dual core chip, but unlike galaxy s2 which is out now, the w8 wont be out till q2 2012!, thats 1 years later
