Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said that he has increasing confidence the company will ship its first Windows Phones this year, though significant volumes won't come until next year.

"We have shifted our organization," Elop said, speaking at the Nokia Connections event in Singapore. The event was also broadcast over the Internet. "We have a new strategy and we are focused on delivering results."

Elop's comments come three weeks after the company warned that sales and earnings would fall well short of expectations. As he noted when he spoke at our D9 conference earlier this month, Elop noted that the company already has working Nokia devices running a test build of the next version of Windows Phone software.

Nokia announced back in February that Windows Phone, rather than Symbian or MeeGo, would be the company's main smartphone strategy going forward.

But, given that Nokia is counting on Symbian-based phones to account for nearly all of the company's smartphone business this year and significant revenue for next year as well, the company spent some time talking about where it is headed on that operating system as well. The company showed its Symbian Anna software running on a current Nokia N8 handset and featuring a number of updates to the software, including improved browsing and brighter icons.
