About a Month ago, a bunch of codenames representing Nokia Windows Phone devices were revealed. Among them there was a Nokia Windows Phone 8 device codenamed "Dogphone". Now, nokia Innovation is reporting that these devices are just prototypes and NOT coming to Markets.

It is said that the Nokia Dogphone is just a prototype device. In fact, that is supposedly the very same boxy Windows Phone handset Joe Belfiore used on stage while demoing Windows Phone 8. That is also the mysterious Windows Phone device that was spotted in the wild a week after the platform's unveiling.

Windows Phone 8 users will be able to take advantage of the In-App Purchasing feature on their devices but only WP8 devices will support this feature, Even those models that will be getting the Windows Phone 7.8 update will not be able to make in-app purchases

The reason why in-app purchases won't be available until Windows Phone 8 might have to do with the Microsoft Wallet Hub.

Additionally, MSDN documentation reveals that the Redmond based software giant has informed its developers that they won't be able to add in-app purchasing until handsets supporting Windows Phone 8 are released.

According to Bloomberg, we'll be seeing some devices introduced at Nokia World that will run on Microsoft's recently-announced Windows Phone 8 platform.

If this is true, then we might see the announcement of new WP8 devices before the rumored press conference for the next iPhone on September,12. This may not be a good thing, however, as Nokia run the risk being overshadowed by Apple's highly anticipated announcement.

We got some News for all Windows Phone users in the middle-east who are still waiting for proper Arabic language support in Windows Phone. According to Tom Farrell, Nokia's general manager of Lower Gulf.

The Arabic support will apparently only come in the second half of 2012 around the same time Windows Phone 8 (aka Apollo) is expected to launch. The other piece of info is another confirmation that the company's first Windows Phone will ship in Europe this quarter.

"We will launch and start selling this quarter in Europe, because Windows Phone has the language support for European countries. However, it doesn't support Arabic until second half of next year. We won't say it's a launch in this region because it needs Arabic," - Tom Farrel.
