Microsoft will announce new Windows 10 devices at IFA 2015, but the word "smartphone" is strangely missing

It looks like the annual IFA conference in Berlin will become a launchpad for the first Windows 10 devices announced by Microsoft. The company announced via a press release that Nick Parker, VP of MS's OEM (original equipment manufacturer) division, will hold a keynote titled "Windows 10 Lights up New Devices" where we naturally expect to get new W10 device announcements!

So, does this mean we'll catch a first glimpse of the new Lumia phones that are inevitably looming on the horizon? There's a good chance we will, but Mr. Parker isn't affiliated with Microsoft's smartphone division, so we don't expect new phones with 100% certainty. He doesn't handle Surface tablets either, so announcements on that part aren't guaranteed either. But seeing that device convergence plays such a big role in Windows 10, we're not keen on thinking all Microsoft has to show off at IFA is a bunch of laptops.
