Microsoft has already picked a number of partners for the Windows Phone 8 launch, including Nokia, HTC, Samsung, Huawei, Acer, ZTE and Lenovo. However, that’s just the initial list with more companies likely to join the party next year.
Among those new companies may be Oppo, which we know for their super-thin Oppo Finder, Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone. The everything-but-official information comes from WPDang, which also prepared the mockup image above.
Now we like that more companies will make Windows Phones, but are still not sure Microsoft will be able to compete with Google and Apple. The Redmond giant definitely has the cash needed to keep pushing its mobile platform forward, but so do other two contenders. One thing is certain – interesting times are ahead and we look forward to see increased competition bringing us even more options to choose from.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
