Nokia Lumia 900 might not get Windows 8 [Rumor]

With the alleged largest launch so far coming up for the Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone, potential users might want to be a bit careful about what lies in the future for their device. Our friends over at IntoMobile paid a visit to Nokia’s HQ and shot the question “How confident can people be that this handset will get the next major Windows Phone update which many are expecting toward the end of the year?” Chris Searight, Nokia Marketing Launch Manager said, “We don’t know yet” and that even they are very anxious to know what comes next.

While it might definitely be more comforting to think that he might have misspoken, Nokia and Microsoft are known to be sharing a very ‘unique’ relationship and allegedly, it is more than likely that they do know what is happening but their reluctance to say anything about it does make one feel a bit uneasy. A better way of presenting a message than “We don’t know yet” might also ease the pit in stomachs of fans of the upcoming Lumia 900.

In their defense, all this uncertainty does not point in the direction of the phone not getting the update to Windows 8 at all but even if it didn’t, the device with its excellent specs would still be a solid handset even if it just ran Windows Phone Mango. That said, it might not be a good idea to say things like “We don’t know” and “We are anxious to know what comes next”, when Nokia is at the start of their struggle to make a come-back after a truly turbulent year in the smartphone industry for them.
