Looking to grab attention before Apple's expected iPhone 5 launch on September 12, Nokia will unveil new Windows Phone 8 -powered Lumia devices the week previous, according to an online report. 1

The report cites "a person with knowledge of the matter", who explains that the company plans to announce the new devices-perhaps unsurprisingly-during a new roadshow-style Nokia World event which kicks off on September 5th. 2

The report also explains that the same sources believes the devices will be on sale "before the year-end holiday shopping season". 2

One or more new phones running Microsoft's latest smartphone OS are set to be announced next month, Bloomberg s insider says, though availability is only pegged as in time for the holiday shopping season. 3
