I would hazard a guess that Nokia was already aware of Microsofts plans for Windows8, hence their reason to announce that they were going to push WP7 to the lower end of the market.

We already know that Flop and Ballface are in each others pockets so they may have discussed this already, not to mention that they have frequently stated that both the MS&Nok engineer and design teams have been working closely together since the announcement of the lumia phones. Surely this was known in advance?

What makes no sense is how nokia have been striving for the unified phoneOS (to the point where they have been killing off their own device operating systems), only to adopt Windows phone which is now effectively a multipleOS line.

Pretty messed up huh?
