If you’ve been reading this site then you should be surprised by today’s news that the first Nokia Windows Phone 7 handset will only be available in limited quantity and only launch in 7 countries in Europe (and the US) at the end of this year. I’ve already discussed this last month but oddly enough nobody picked it up. Anyway, according to Victor Saeijs, VP of Nokia Europe the company’s first Windows Phone will launch this year only in France, Spain, England, Italy, Germany, Netherlands (and most probably Russia and Finland).

Once again, people shouldn’t expect Nokia to miraculously strike the Windows Phone 7 like storm with tons of handsets in such a short period of time. Don’t forget that all the other OEMs are also going to ship new Mango handsets this fall powered by the new chassis and if you are a Super AMOLED fan then you can most probably expect a pretty nice Super AMOLED Plus WP7 device under your Christmas tree.
