Previously teased with an image of skiers on a sand dune, the Nokia event for 22 October 2013 has been confirmed as the Nokia World event, to be held in Abu Dhabi. This time, the accompanying image is a view of Abu Dhabi with a Nokia sailboat again showing off hashtags such as #closer, #wayforward and #innovationreinvented. That being said, rumours are indicating that we could see quite a lot of new Nokia products revealed there including the 6-inch Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet and the 10.1-inch Nokia Lumia 2520 Windows RT tablet. Other rumours indicate that 4 other devices may also make an appearance and accessories such as covers or keyboards could also appear as well. No news on other tech specs, features or Malaysia release dates but we're guessing we could see quite a few local launches after October 2013.
