http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/nokialumia3.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone/)We just received an invite from Nokia (http://www.engadget.com/tag/nokia) and Microsoft (http://www.engadget.com/tag/microsoft) to attend a Windows Phone-centric event on September 5th. This is the same day as Nokia World's (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/23/nokia-world-broken-up-into-smaller-events-bumped-up-to-sept-5/) opener, and we have a feeling this isn't a coincidence. Rumors (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/06/report-wp8-phones-at-nokia-world/) have been rampant that the Finnish company would choose this particular week to announce its lineup of Windows Phone 8 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/microsoft-introduces-windows-phone-8/) devices, and we're hoping this is indeed the case. Granted, the invite comes with a large reference to Nokia Maps, so it's certainly possible the navigation service could be a primary focus of the event, but we're hedging our bets on new handsets. Either way, we'll be there to share the excitement with you.
