Oppo to launch Windows Phone 8 handsets alongside Nokia and other WP partners?
By Florin on 24 Jul 12When Microsoft announced Windows Phone 8, it unveiled a list of hardware partners that would make and sell WP8 handsets starting later this year. The list obviously includes Nokia, as well as: Samsung, HTC, Huawei, Acer, ZTE, and Lenovo. As you can see, three of the partners are Chinese companies. And the fourth may join soon.
According to WPDang, Microsoft may agree to let Oppo manufacture Windows Phone 8 handsets starting 2013. Of course, we still need an official confirmation on this, so for now it’s just a rumor.
