One of the handsets that Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is expected to bring to shelves in the United States in the not too distant future is the Nokia RM-860, which has just popped up online.

Nothing is known on the handset for the time being, but it is expected to prove a Windows Phone-based Lumia smartphone, given Nokia’s focus on the release of such devices.

The device was spotted in the database of gamer site Occasional Gamer as “NOKIA RM-860_nam_usa_100,” which clearly shows that it will arrive on shelves in North America.

As NokiaPowerUser notes, the device was also spotted in Nokia’s NaviFirm database, which should come as confirmation on its existence.

Nokia did confirm recently that it was looking at means to expand the Lumia lineup currently available in the US via wireless carriers, and the new phone might fit these plans.
