Nokia going for launch of first Windows Phone 8 smartphones. It is not a priority for Nokia Lumia 820 or Nokia Lumia 920 to become Big Hit, but it’s absolutely vital that they convince users of Microsoft’s mobile platform’s potential. Android and iOS showed off only a part of work of Windows Phone 7 and relegated it to an also-ran statue. Nokia now cannot afford let history repeat itself. However Nokia Lumia 820 is in one or the other way a bit lucky of two global Nokia Products.It will compete in cheaper cost Segment than Lumia 920 and is safely out of range of Super Hit devices like Galaxy’s and iPhone’s.
