We were expecting Nokia to debut their first Windows Phone 7 device before the end of this year, now it would appear that the first Nokia Windows Phone 7 device may not launch  until the first quarter of 2012.

The guys from WP7R spoke to someone from Nokia, and were told that the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone from Nokia wont launch in Australia until quarter one of 2012.

We won’t be releasing a Nokia on Windows Phone until Q1 of next year. Can’t be more specific than that sorry!

It isn’t clear as yet whether this statement applies to Australia only, or whether the rest of us in Europe and the US will also have to wait until next year to get our hands on the first Windows Phone Nokia smartphone.
