Later this month Nokia will be holding its annual event Nokia World which I’m very excited about. Its highly likely that the company will announce its Windows Phone. Well actually multiple Windows Phones. How exciting!

Nokia, despite being heavily criticised over recent months/years, has always made great hardware and the cameras on its devices are often best in class. Combine this level of great hardware design and features with the great software, Windows Phone, and it should lead to some very exciting possibilities indeed. I’m hoping that Nokia really push the boundaries with the design and the cameras of their Windows Phones. In addition to announcements about its new Windows Phones I’m hoping that Nokia will elaborate on its plans for Windows Phone over the next year.

I’m also very excited to hear about what Nokia has planned to do to help the “Third Ecosystem”. What apps will the company announce? What additional resources will the company being making available for Windows Phones developers and users? Bear in mind that Nokia owns the great mapping service, Navteq, which could lead some great location/mapping experiences on Windows Phone.

Nokia World takes starts on October 26th in London and I’m excited.
