Nokia's first WP7 handsets to be announced on October 26?

Nokia's market performance might be less than inspiring these days, but interest in its Windows Phone endeavors is surely high. The story continues as the company has now announced that its annual Nokia World conference will take place on October 26-27, thus giving life to rumors this might be the time and date of the much-anticipated introduction of its first Windows Phone 7 smartphones.

To tell you the truth, the published agenda of the event isn't really helping us much, but there is a section of it dubbed “To be announced”, scheduled for October 26, so who knows, we may finally get to see some Live Tiles pop up under that Nokia logo.

Furthermore, at the CommunicAsia 2011 event, CEO Stephen Elop did confirm what Nokia's EVP said in May, namely that the company is indeed going to launch its first WP7 handsets this year, so an October 26 introduction sounds fitting to us, to say the least.
