What to expect from Nokia's next Windows phone

Nokia's next phone could look a lot like Nokia's current flagship, with a few additions.

On September 5, Microsoft and Nokia will introduce the world to the its first Windows Phone 8 devices. The form of that signature handset remains a mystery for now, but I'll venture a guess that from the outside, the next iteration of Nokia's flagship phone will look very similar to the Nokia Lumia 900 device we know now.

Why do I say such a thing? There are a few reasons. First, the form factor would be more easily produced than creating a new design in a relatively short period. After all, the Lumia 900's look already exists in two other phones that preceded it: the Nokia N9 (originator) and the Nokia Lumia 800 (Windows Phone debut). To the latter, the Lumia 900 added 4G LTE, a front-facing camera, and a larger screen.
