Is nokia planning to launch new windows 7.8 mobiles in the near future?

[jimmyireland]

Doubt it since WP8 is now released

[rayhipkiss]

All newly released Lumia devices will come with WP8, even the low end budget handsets like the Lumia 620.

Exactly the 620 is the latest and nice too so why roll back to 7.8

[MacConners]

Will Nokia launch budget or entry level Windows 8 smartphones??

[jimmyireland]

The 620 would be the cheapest now.No news on further releases have been announced.

Of course not, why would people try and find a possible answer themselves when they can get spoon fed without having to do any work themselves. ;\

You are wrong because the Lumia 510 and 505 are released with WP7.8

[jimmyireland]

He obviously meant WP8 Not lumias as a whole.

[MacConners]

Yes i did, but Lumia 620 is not a budget phone.

It's a mid-range SmartPhone.

[MacConners]

I'm humble for all your replies to my queries but mister don't think of me as spoon fed.

I have researched more about mobile phones than you would have ever done.

And with that knowledge let me tell you that Nokia Lumia 620 is a MID-RANGE smartphone not a BUDGET smartphone!!

[paulheu]

The 620 is Nokias entry level Windows 8 device and it is as of yet the cheapest WP8 device you can find. That said I would agree it's far from a budget phone, yes.

If you did what you say you have done (as in did your homework) you would have known the answer as Nokia has on more then one occasion announced their intention to keep pushing Windows Phone devices to lower price points.

You have done more research????And your repetitvley asking questions, I dont think so..

For now the 620 is the cheapest available and thats it.One phone at a time...

[MacConners]

Indeed Nokia has but i asked it coz there are several people(prospective customers for nokia) are asking this.

And they are asking coz they don't want to buy a smartphone with obselete OS and as a fellow Nokian i'm trying to resolve their queries by bringing it here.

Just because It's cheaper in the trio of Windows 8 powred Lumias recently launched makes it a budget phone!

And if you're talking about prices let me tell you Lumia 620 will be priced near the price of Htc 8s,Desire SV.
Heck it's price is near Lumia 800 and Sir by no means these phones are Budget ones and don't think i don't do research

Either Nokia or Microsoft stated late last year that WP7.x would continue as a lower end operating system for cheaper devices for the foreseeable future so it is far from being obsolete. It's also expected that they'll be further updates and new features after the new 7.8 update.

Unfortunately neither the users of this forum or Nokia can say if they'll be any further WP7.x devices from Nokia as it's against the rules of this forum to discuss unannounced products or leaks. Personally I do think we'll see more 7.x models from Nokia in emerging markets this year along with price drops on WP8 models.

Unfortunately it's not the answer you wanted but it's all that can be said until Nokia actually announce another device. If you want a reply from Nokia themselves you need to contact them directly but they won't tell you anything that isn't public knowledge.

P.S. My opinion of the Lumia 620 is that it's a good midrange device, not a budget model.

[MacConners]

I agree too
but people think that WP 7.x has become obsolete/old because there is a new version called WP 8 just like Ginger Bread is considered obsolete/old coz there are ICS and JB.

That's why i brought this question to the forum.

[jimmyireland]

Well those people really need to do some homework tbh.
