Nokia first WP7 device may not be released this year

Nokia first Windows Phone 7 device may be coming in Q1 2012 missing the deadline Nokiatop management was hoping for the Nokia World show on October 20th. The information supposedly comes from Nokia Australia branch, which admitted to Wp7r.comthat a WP7 Nokia will not be released until Q1 of next year.

Now this does not exclude the possibility of a 2011 announcement as the new info concerns the actual market release in Australia. We will have to wait to see, but we know for a fact that Nokia has a WP7 prototype already in teh works and it will probably have similar, if not identical, specs to the Meego-flaunting N9.

Those specs include a 1GHz processor single core as WP7 still has not crossed the dual-core line, a 3.9-incher of FWVGA resolution, an 8 MP Carl-Zeiss optics camera with dual-LED flash, NFC and a gig of RAM. Its almost certain too that WP7 Mango will be the OS version of choice.
