What Will Nokia Announce on the 17th of May in Athens?

Nokia had earlier announced that they would be teaming up with Microsoft in order to develop Windows Phone 7 based smartphones after they had announced that they would be shifting from their Symbian operating system to the WP7 operating system and according to Bloomberg enter into a 5-year agreement with each other with payments by Microsoft amounting to $1 billion.

Stephen Elop of Nokia was quoted as saying “We’re right now, today, having people work on the first Windows Phone devices from Nokia. That work is already under way. If this was an acquisition scenario, that wouldn’t be possible.”

That being said, a Greek gadget blog had received a note from Nokia that described an event that would occur on the 17^th of May in Athens. Could this be the event where Nokia announces and reveals their very first Nokia Windows Phone 7 smartphone? At the moment no further information is available so stay tuned as we follow this piece of news over the next couple of days leading up to this event.
