Innovation Reinvented: Nokia in Abu Dhabi October 22nd to reveal new devices

This morning, Nokia has sent out press invites and announced on their Facebook page their October 22nd event, now dubbed Nokia World. While we knew previously that the event was to take place on that date, after being postponed from late September, we did not know the location.

Nokia will reportedly unveil the 6-inch Lumia 1520 and the Windows 8.1 RT tablet, the Lumia 2520, in Abu Dhabi, located in the United Arab Emirates. The location is certainly unusual for them as traditionally Nokia has announced new devices in New York or London.

The invite simply reads “At Nokia, we believe in technology that brings people closer together. Please join us in Abu Dhabi as we write a new chapter in reinventing innovation.” with the hashtags #closer #wayforward and #innovationreinvented used in the image.

Of course Windows Phone Central will be at the event to cover the all-day announcement, bringing you the latest and greatest news on Windows Phone.
