Event: Nokia and Microsoft Party in Cologne, Germany – August 17 – Xbox, Kinect and Nokia Windows Phone as a raffle prize…
Well, well, well, what do we have here? Are Nokia making a move on some Windows Phones BEFORE October’s Nokia World 2011?
There appears to be an event on August 17, just 16 days away. Not just a Nokia event – a Nokia Microsoft party.
There’s also a competition to win yourself one of 3 Xbox 360s with a Kinect AND wait a minute a Nokia with Windows PHONE. Note the small print – “as soon as available” :p.

No WP before N9, total FUD.
Yeah, saw that too. Doubt that Nokia would reveal anything much on the sidelines of a gaming event though.. but still, hopefully some new info will surface.
Now that would be a shocker!!! Especially considerinmg that they have not shipped any N9′s as yet. I know, I know, the small print says “as soon as available” but that means they have a WP7 device lerking somewhere and there is no leaked hands-on as yet???? Yeah we have seen those picks of the WP7 devices but come-on…were are the leaks????
WELL DONE NOKIA…FOR KEEPING THIS UNDER WRAPS, JUST LIKE THE N9!!!
Well, the most likely candidate is the Sea Ray, so not exactly under wraps if it is.
Hahaha, that small note is nothing short of a tease! Seems like a great day to start the fasting season with Nokia haters desperately trying to dampen the spirits of Nokia’s progress.
hmmm i could actually go to this if i wanted, but it would just be weird i have been at many Nokia events in the past, and Microsoft ones too (windows 7 launch was great).
but to go an event that is for both companies……just feels wrong ….
wait…..free food and drink maybe i can give it a shot.
Please do go and report back!
if you won’t go, give me your invitation and i will go for you

There are stories going around that the other manufacturers are aiming for September for their Mango devices so it makes sense with Nokia joining them for a global relaunch during September.
Nokia will make the bigger headlines when it comes to WP7. Other Androided companies didn’t give a damn to developing their WP7 phones.
+1. This is definitely why Nokia will get my money for WP.
I’m in Berlin during that time but I don’t have an invite. Could I just show up?
Will they get mad if I win a Windows Phone and ask for an N9 instead?
Im sure someone would swap..mmh, then again, maybe not..
Why not have a party! Business is going fantastic!
BTW, Nokia fans, I have a new slogan for YOU!
“When our Nokia ship sinks, we’ll call it submarine”
Perfectly describes a Nokia fan.
I wonder what Nokia has done to you. It must have been terrible as to cause such hate for the company. You have been extra busy today I see, posting on Engadget mobile also. Get over it! This seems to be consuming your life! Move on! You will feel better…
I am 100% with him though. Windows Phone plan sucks and is a road to failure.
You don’t kill your main breadwinner a year before you are ready to launch its successor the way Elop did.
me too.
You come to a Nokia fanblog to flame Nokia. I’ve three words for you – “waste of time”. Nothing will come out of it, and the only one sinking is you. Get a life.
I wish Jay wasn’t so tolerant.
Ban this hater already

Announcing of Symbian update PR3.0 AKA Belle and 1Ghz device running it!!!
in a MS party? heh..
After they saw their Q2 results and the response to it, they decided to announce most of their new phones in August and release it by Nokia World…
Hope you are right and that they can actually get them out to shops. (I am not one of those who scream “announce and release on the same day!”
).
When was the Tabco event suposed to be?
From wearetabco “We’ll reveal everything, including international availability, on 8.15.11″ Sent on the 25th of July?
Any ideas or comments?
