LONDON – In 2011, Nokia launched its first Windows Phones — the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 — on stage during an event in London.

The phone will be Nokia’s flagship device at T-Mobile in the United States, and will be available in Europe and China starting in June.

1The Michael J. Fox Show

“Look who’s making the news again. One of New York’s most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox), put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. But now five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get back to work. Having never wanted Mike to leave in the first place, his old boss Harris Green jumped at the chance to get him back on TV. The trick, as it’s always been, was to make Mike think it was his idea.
