About a month ago, a bunch of codenames representing Nokia Windows Phone devices were revealed. Among them were the Nokia Fluid, Nokia Phi, and Nokia Dogphone. Now thanks to Nokia Innovation, we have reasons to believe that at least one of these devices is not coming to market.

It is said that the Nokia Dogphone is just a prototype device. In fact, that is supposedly the very same boxy Windows Phone handset Joe Belfiore used on stage while demoing Windows Phone 8. That is also the mysterious Windows Phone device that was spotted in the wild a week after the platform's unveiling.

So that's one less upcoming Nokia Lumia to think about. That Nokia Phi, however, chances are we might see it being unveiled at Nokia World next month, and we are looking forward to checking it out first hand. If rumors are to be trusted, at least two Nokia Windows Phone 8 smartphones are to be announced during the event.
