I am bored, reading all tech gadget websites searching for any possible rumor / announcement on next generation Lumia having multi core processor and HD Resolution. Its been a long waiting game. When can we all expect some announcement. My N900 is getting aged and I am looking for a replacement soon. I don't like the look of SGS3. Don't know anything about Galaxy Note 2 or iPhone 5. Just like its predcessor, Windows 8 indeed have a very good UI with a lot of exciting features. So I would definately prefer a Lumia over iPhone or Android.

Not sure if Nokia will be able to last long enough to release any new phones. Not a fan of WP7/8 but realistically speaking, only time will tell.

Their best selling Lumia 900 is already obsolete after the announcement that it will not be upgraded to WP8. So people will not buy an obsolete device. So they have to release their next generation Lumia in order to capture the market. Lumia 900 was a hit despite having mediocre specification. But those specifications were because of OS limitation. With WP8 I don't know Nokia should feel reluctant in hurrying its next generation high end Lumia to capture the market again.
PS: I do feel a slight hope, of MeeGo's rebirth, When Nokia chairman Risto Siilasmaa about their Nokia's contegency plan in case WP8 fails

I think October is a reasonable time frame, given that Nokia will try to announce something in Nokia World, then take a month or two for devices to pop up in sales channel.

Lowend windows phones? I wonder if they turn this inte a windows 8 event and show the next generation of keyboard. I wonder hor that feels
