This is rather perplexing to say the least. Nokia is apparently still looking for a cool name for its US line of Windows Phones which is set to materialize this fall with the launch of the Nokia SeaRay. The company’s Head of Developer Marketing in North America has started a poll 5 days ago asking his Twitter followers to vote for one of the (ridiculous) suggestions or submit their own. If this is to be taken sinuously then something is wrong somewhere because the lack of product name today (August 30th) means that there’s still no marketing material ready or anything of that sort which is worrying given that the Fujitsu IS12T is already available and that HTC is set to unveil its line of Mango handsets later this week.

As I’ve been telling you for a while now the first Nokia Windows Phone will only be available in relatively short supply this year and it may now seem that the priority will be put on Europe first.
