Two Nokia Windows Phone handsets coming to AT&T later this year

Rumor has it that Nokia is working on two new Windows Phone handsets, both of which are destined to launch on AT&T later this year. Word comes from sources familiar with Nokia's plans, who spoke with the guys at The Verge. One of them, codenamed Prodigy, is being described as a Windows Phone "superphone", whatever that is supposed to mean, while the other, bearing the AC/DC moniker, is expected to be a mid-range device.

And that is pretty much all that the aforementioned sources had to share; no specs, no images, no further hints whatsoever. On the other hand, since Prodigy is expected to be a high-end device, we would expect it to be powered by the upcoming Apollo update, which might also be known as Windows Phone 8. Hardware-wise, we might finally get to see a dual-core processor and a high-resolution display on a Windows Phone device, and the Nokia Prodigy might have both of these features. Of course, that is nothing but pure speculation at this time. And as far as the Nokia AC/DC is concerned, specs and pricing are anyone's guess.

If the tipster turns out to be correct, the Nokia Prodigy and AC/DC will be unveiled in the second half of 2012, possibly during Nokia World in September.
