Bell Canada to Launch Two Windows Phone 8 Devices, It Will Not Carry the Lumia 920


Canadian carrier Bell has just confirmed it would offer customers two Windows Phone 8 devices by the end of the year.

Unfortunately, Nokia fans will be disappointed to know that Bell has no intention of offering the Finnish company's new flagship smartphone, the Lumia 920.

However, there's a high chance that the Canadian carrier will launch the other Windows Phone 8 announced by Nokia earlier this month, the Lumia 820.

For the time being, the identity of the second Windows Phone 8 offered by Bell is a mystery, but it will probably release Samsung's recently announced ATIV S, or perhaps it will carry one of HTC's upcoming smartphones.

It will be interesting to see which of the other handset manufacturers will support Windows Phone 8 launch with their devices, but for the moment only Nokia, Samsung and HTC revealed plans to release smartphones powered by Microsoft's latest mobile operating system.

The only information revealed by Bell is the fact that it won't offer the Lumia 920 once Windows Phone 8 get officially released in Canada:

Bell will be supporting the Windows Phone 8 release in Canada with two new devices from leading manufacturers. At this time we are not planning to carry the Nokia Lumia 920.”

The statement above is signed by one of President of Bell Mobility Wade Oosterman's assistants and was sent to a customer who asked for additional info regarding Bell's plans for Windows Phone 8.

Hopefully, this doesn't mean that Bell will never launch Nokia's flagship smartphone and that the carrier's customers will eventually be able to purchase the Lumia 920 early next year.

In this regard, Nokia and Samsung confirmed their Windows Phone 8 products would arrive in Canada “in the coming months,” which means sooner or later fans of Microsoft's platform will be able to get their favorite devices.
