Luckily, Harlow had this to say on the affair:

"I'm quite pleased with our progress...Our target is absolutely nonetheless this twelvemonth…and the target looks good"

More importantly, it looks like they've moved from "a" device to multiple devices with Harlow mentioning a "small portfolio" to be released in the first batch.

Finally, don't expect old Nokia hardware with Windows Phone Os on lath. Despite earlier rumors that Nokia, due to fourth dimension constraints, was just using the aforementioned or like hardware for Symbian in their Windows Phones, they appear to be using completely new designs, unseen by the public:

Harlow, however, says those early on renderings are "not characteristic" of the starting time Windows Phone devices Nokia will release. "One of the differentiations we intend to bring to the Windows Phone platform is hardware innovation," said Harlow. "You will see that in our first devices and our future devices."

Other little mentions are that Prc may become a device, speeding upward CDMA distribution greatly and Nokia'south interest in Nearly Field Advice (NFC) technology for their devices.

Update: In a similar interview with PC Magazine, Harlow said that they were looking to release a Windows Phone every iii months:

"Nosotros should be launching new devices in a rhythm that might be every couple of months, every three months, something like that....We're going to keep coming with new devices in order to have something to talk most."
