Nokia might be releasing a Windows 8-based tablet by June 2012 as well as follow up the recently released Windows Phone 7 devices - Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 - with an even better Lumia, says head of Nokia France Paul Amsellem.
"(Lumia 800) is just the equivalent of the BMW 5 Series. We will soon have a full range with a Series 7 and Series 3," said Amsellem in an interview with French newspaper LesEchos.
If the analogy holds true, this would make Lumia 710, Nokia's mid-range device, the equivalent of BMW's Series 3, while the high-end slot in Nokia's Windows Phone portfolio yet needs to be filled by an upcoming phone.
On the tablet front, Amsellem said Nokia plans to have a tablet running Windows 8 by June 2012. This is interesting since Windows 8 itself doesn't have a fixed release date yet - all we know is that it's due to be released sometime in 2012.
