Any news on next gen (Apollo) Nokia Lumia?

[saintforlife]

So has anybody heard of any rumors of what kind of specs are in store for the next generation Lumia? Screen resolution, dual core? Also is there any chance Apollo phones are released before the end of this year?

While there can be no guarantees, if I was a betting man, I'd put money on all 3 of those things happening.

Saw a rumor that Win8 Nokia Lumia device will be coming to VZW later this year. I keep hearing Oct as the Win8 release Month..

Not really related to Nokia, but I read a rumour that Windows 8 will have four versions:

PC
Tablet
Windows 8 phone
Windows 8 phone watch - like a iPod nano.

Don't know about anyone else, but I am STOKED to find out more about that.

Most likely.
Nokia moved Nokia World one month earlier to September this year. Would be in sync with October launch of WP8 devices.

It's mentioned in PC Plus (UK magazine). I'll scan the article and post it if people haven't read it before...

Didn't know that. Makes a lot of sense.

Egads, people. We *finally* just got the 900. Please, no rumors for a while. I'm too exhausted to keep up...

Better yet...

Windows Tablet/Phone?

LOL

Nokia and MS plan to release 4 resolutions so I bet you will get everything from a WP watch to a 3.7 - 4.3 to a Titan like phone/tablet.

The thing about Apollo is Apple can easily release the iPhone 5 in Q3 which alot of rumors point to that date. That will kill alot of hype when it comes to Apollo and Windows 8 launch.

I wonder how MS is going to respond to that. I really wish they released earlier rather than waiting for Q4. They could atleast release Win8 and Win8 Apollo software in Q3 then release hardware later on.

Seriously... LOL

I can't wait for the Lumia 1000 with Windows 8 to get here.... so we can start speculating about the Lumia 1200 with Windows 9.

I see the next Lumina to stay in the 9xx number family, maybe 950 or 990. Still I would like that sweet designers vision of the Lumina 920.

If VZW follows the same release plan as they did with the Trophy, it'll be June 2013 before it's available.

If Verizon can't get one out by Q4, then I will sadly pay the ETF's on the numerous lines and move on over.

There was also a rumor that the Apollo Nokia phones wouldn't be based on the N9 design and will be something brand new.

Also, since I don't see it here, other rumors I've heard

1. Verizon device with 720p, Qualcomm S4 MSM8960
2. Sprint device with WVGA, QWERTY keyboard, Qualcomm S4 MSM8960
3. Apollo phones to be carrier specific designs (in the US at least)
4. There is a possibility that some phones will use the Qualcomm S4 MSM8960 Pro, which has a GPU that is (I believe) twice as fast as the normal S4
