Nokia planning something even bigger than the Lumia 1020



Here is something that went under our radar - Nokia is planning its next major launch later this year with AT&T and it would be even bigger than the Lumia 1020. These are the words of none other than Nokia’s Chief Executive Stephen Elop, at the end of the Q&A session from last week’s unveiling of the camera superphone, the 1020.
The statement came after a tough question from a journalist asking what could Nokia do to improve its ‘dreadful’ partnership with AT&T, a carrier that is often said to have neglected Nokia devices in its stores in favor of others like the iPhone and Android handsets.
Nokia’s head honcho however was quick to dismiss those accusations and put the blame back on its own company, but while doing so mentioned something extremely interesting.
"We Nokia have to train those sales associates, we have to work with AT&T to get the best signage. What you’ll see with the launch of the Lumia 1020 is something that will be far better than we've done ever before with AT&T, but it won't be as good as what we do with the next major launch, later this year and on and on and on."

It’s hard to guess what does Nokia have up its sleeve, but it seems logical to think that it would be an even more refined camera phone. Are we right? Only time will tell. Below, skip forward to around 49:20 mark for Elop's statement.
