Nokia Launching First WP8 Device This Year; China to Get Priority Treatment?

It was only a matter of time till we heard the first launch rumors for Nokia WP8 devices, this time coming from Chinese site WPDang who claim that Nokia have expedited their manufacturing process of phones to be able to push out a WP8 device this year (2012 for those of you not keeping track). I’d love for Nokia to be the first OEM to push out a WP8 device but at the same time they shouldn’t be too far ahead of the rest as the general train of thought might be “wait to see what Samsung has first” or basically that the next launch would steal their thunder, however if Nokia were to push out the first WP8 device that device would become the “face” of all future WPs (as is the current fad with the Lumias).

WPDang also reports that this time around China will be one of the first countries to receive the new set of phones rather than ending up as an afterthought, and since Elop has promised exclusive phones for each carrier don’t be surprised if we see 3 or 4 phones launching together; hopefully one of them will be pureview capable.
