<\/span><\/p>\n In a splashy debut, the Finnish company launches its Windows Phone-based Lumia handsets, along with the Asha line for emerging markets. Nokia could definitely use a hit product or two.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Nokia announced its first Windows Phone smartphones this week. The new devices will debut first in Europe and Asia. But how will they do in the U.S.? The jury remains out, but the handset company is showing just enough spunk to defend its global turf and maybe even innovate along the way. The overall shape and design of the phone reminds us somewhat of a stick of gum, and not in a bad way. Oh yes, and there’s also the gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED ClearBlack display. <\/p>\n 2:07 The Nokia Lumia 710 is the least high-end of the two new Windows Phone devices for Nokia, but it’s an appealing smartphone nonetheless. The company is showing off a flexible-screen device controlled by how it’s twisted and bowed, one it calls the Nokia kinetic interface.(Posted in Deep Tech<\/a> by Stephen Shankland) <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n +2 more<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The handset maker plans to make its biggest marketing push yet as it launches its new Lumia line of smarpthones. The troubled company unveils its first two Windows Phone smartphones at an event in London, but new devices won’t hit the U.S. until early next year. After announcing its partnership with Microsoft in February, Nokia finally introduced the “first real Windows Phone.” Meet the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n +11 more<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n While the first round of Nokia Lumia handsets running Windows Phone 7 looks solid, their fate will likely rest in the hands of Android. The stakes are high for Nokia with the Lumia launch, and its fate rests with a 25-year-old somewhere across the globe who will decide whether she wants a world filled with Windows Phone tiles. Looking to bring more of its devices and access to information to more parts of the world, Nokia unveils its new line of Asha phones. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\nCan Nokia’s Lumia smartphones make it in the U.S.?<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n
