Again, some rumors and pics about how Nokia's WP7 smartphones might look like!
The site of My Nokia Blog revealed some new photos about two Nokia phones using the OS from Microsoft. First and most important question: are these fotos real? Well, at this moment we can't say anything. Like always, neither Nokia nor Microsoft commented anything till now.
The team of CG believes that the phones could be real (and look great btw) even though all three pics are very blurry. My Nokia Blog also noted that Nokia obviously has integrated their own OVI services (look at the second pic)....
Today, Nokia officially announced their first Symbian phone which is powered by a 1GHz SoC: The Nokia 500! So what can we say about it? First of all, Nokia finally made it to produce a 1GHz (single-core) smartphone! Secondly, the changeable covers are back! Nokia will sell their phone with three different covers (red, blue, black) and there will be more in the future! What about the specs? Well, not bad at all for 180€ (about $260)! Take a look:
3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen ( 360 x 640 pixels)
OS: Symbian "Anna"
1GHz SoC
5 megapixel (video: VGA resolution)
2GB internal storage
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
93 gramms, 111,3 x 53,8 x 14,1 mm
Nokia said, the device will be ready to ship in Q3!
Will the first and the last MeeGo smartphone be released in mid-september? It seems so! Orange Switzerland lists the N9 on their site with the following notification:
This product is not yet available but will come soon. Check out its features and get ready for its launch on the 15.09.2011
aha...Well, one month and a half... That is okay. Sure we have to wait because Nokia didn't confirmed any exact release date, but this sounds realistic.
Our friends of mynokiablog posted the N10 by Nokia, that is, well - which words could describe this hell of a phone the best? ... ah, got it - a DREAM PHONE. It's a thin, 3.9-inch big, 1.2GHz dual-core powered, triple booting (!) and incredibly good looking device. Too good to be true? Exactly. Very much to our everyone's regret, this is just a fake. But you should still read on to read the full specs and to keep dreaming.
white aluminium casing
boots three operating systems: Android Ice Cream Sandwich, MeeGo Harmatten (default OS) and Windows Phone 7 Mango
curved Gorilla Glass screen (AMOLED) with 3.9 inches and 480x854 pixels
1GB of RAM and 16/32 GB of internal storage
dual-core processor with 1.2 GHz
8MP Carl Zeiss camera with dual LED flash and 1080p recording (30fps)
To our mind, this smartphone would really deserve the title of the "Dream Phone". Nokia, why will something like this never see the light of the day?
Curious about how Nokia's very first Windows Phone 7 device will look like? Well, thanks to some kind guy in a - at least what it sounds like - Chinese factory, we've got our first impressions. Go ahead and watch the video!
As you can tell from the video, it's running WP7 Mango - the newest version. Of course, it's got the usual three WP7 buttons. On the right side, you can find the volume rocker, power button and a dedicated camera button. Unfortunately, on the video you can't see how many megapixels the camera sports. But at least we can tell that it has a LED flash, probably even dual LED. Overall, we think the design isn't breathtaking but still very precious.
As we all know, Nokia and Microsoft are gonna build a lot of Windows Phones in the future. Obviously, that will exterminate all the Symbian phones, eventually. But not yet! Nokia says, they still want to release at least ten Symbian powered smartphones before they totally focus on Windows. And we've got some rumored specs about the first out of ten!
Nokia's newest phone has been leaked! The 700 - Zeta. It features the Symbian "Belle", successor of the "Anna" version. Here are the specs we know so far :
3,2 nHD AMOLED
1GHz CPU
5 megapixel
NFC ready
80 grams (!)
It seems that this model will replace the C6-01... unfortunately we don't know anything about the release date or the price...
Yeah, that is sad news from Nokia. Elop explained that there will be no Meego device except the N9. What if the smartphone will become a hit worldwide? And after our first look, it is a very promising device! Well, um.... no chance. Nokia isn't planning to release any device which is running Meego. Elop explained, the concern will focus on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7... We believe that wasn't a very clever move from Elop. C'mon, who wants to buy a new smartphone which software is dead the day it comes out?
Like Elop said he would unveil a Meego device this years.. and yes he did it! Finally here it is: The N9 from Nokia! Does it have the aluminuim unibody? No It won't. Does it have a QWERTY-Keyboard. Again NO! Dual-core? NOOO! But it has the most important thing included: It has Meego 1.2. And yes it is nifty...and even more than that! (check out the video) Look at the design and colours, very unique and sexy. The material of the N9 is polycarbonate which is very durable and not as heavy as aluminium. So here are the specs from Nokia's new flagship:
-3,9 inch AMOLED Display (854 x 480) -OMAP3630 1 Ghz + PowerVR SGX530 GPU -1GB RAM -16 or 64 GB internal storage -8 Megapixel from Carl Zeiss with AF (16:9 720p recording) -Quad-band GSM -NFC -802.11a/b/g/n WiFi -Micro SIM-Slot -135 gramm -Battery: 50 hours of music, 4.5 hours of 720p video, 7-12 GSM
At the moment we have no informations about either the price nor the exactly release date (still: to come in 2011). It will be avaiable in three colours: black, magenta and blue.
Yes, you've read right! Will the legendary N9 finally be announced? It seems so! On the vietnamese website of Nokia there was found a banner. It says that Nokia will annouce a masterpiece tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Ah yes... Nokia Connection 2011! The sourcecode reveals that this is gonna be the "N9 - Lannku" (might be the project name). Oh yes, we are really looking forward to Nokia's first (?) Meego product and new flagship...
If the Manager of Marketing Services in Argentina is to be trusted, Nokia will release a S40-based device soon. According to its Twitter-page, the phone's packing a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and a ClearBlack display. So far there's no picture of the device, but we hope that will change at the Nokia Connection 2011 in Singapore.
Symbian is dead? Not yet! Believe it or not: Nokia will release a firmware update to their actual Symbian devices C7, E7 and N8 in July. This mayor update includes several improvements like a better browsing experience, an updated version of the ovi maps and new icon graphics. It is pretty clear that this might be the last mayor update for the Symbian devices since Nokia announced they will start selling WP7 phones in this year....
France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Those are the six chosen countries in which Nokia is going to release their first Windows Phone.What about Finland? Our question exactly. For some reason, Nokia left out their mother nation. Yet, we're sure the rest of the world, including Finland, will follow soon. But until then, we're delighted for Europe having at least one Windows Phone from Nokia before 2011 ends.
Well, at this moment we can't say anything. Like always, neither Nokia nor Microsoft commented anything till now.
