Waiting for an announcement of Nokia Windows Phone? Well..this is not the Nokia Windows Phone what you are looking for. But yes, they are testing some Nokia Windows Phones with WP7 Mango OS in corporate labs and these phones should be releasing in the holiday season. Nokia meanwhile is still sticking to its Symbian OS, and is now targeting the rich people. They have just announced a new Symbian Anna powered Nokia Oro handset, which is nothing but the Limited Edition (say it ‘Luxury Edition’) of the Nokia C7, packed with 18-carat gold plating, its battery cover is encased in leather, and its home button is made out of real sapphire crystal. Nokia Oro is sporting the same specs as that of the Nokia C7, but it runs the new updated Symbian Anna OS. Nokia C7 is also known as Nokia Astound under T-Mobile network, but it is having NFC chip support.
