Nokia Windows 7 concept phones....

Nokia  announced their strategic partnership with Microsoft, where both the companies were aiming to save themselves. It was quit unexpected, that Nokia couldn’t see MeeGo as their winning samrt phone platform but it certain that their attention has all turned towards the US market and hence this decision. Coming to the concept, just after hours of announcement this concept phone by these two companies has already been making rounds.

This might just be the way future Nokia phones running Windows Phone 7 look. Though this is just a concept, it has Nokia design elements(sweet). And the feature lacking Windows Phone 7 OS(atleast in the current state before the firmware update) (bitter). Though the phone sure looks gorgeous, this may or may not be made into a working model. But all that we can do is sit and watch. They must now bring the phones to market as soon as they can or the competition will just get tougher than what they would have expected.

There were also talks that both the firms were already working on a Windows based smartphone. Lets see how they roll.

Nokia T7 Leaked... ...

A few days earlier, we brought to you a post which confirmed the existence of the Nokia T7. The phone in the above picture is the T7.

From the pictures, the design of the T7 is very similar to the Nokia N8. It in fact seems to be a cheaper variant of the N8 and will most likely be a China only variant. The phone in the leaked picture seems to have a China Mobile branding.

The differences from the original N8 include:

• 8 megapixel camera with Dual-LED Flash (Not whether it has Autofocus or EDOF)
• The raised camera module is now flush in the casing
• microUSB Port Changes it’s Location from the Left to the Top and Replaces the HDMI port
• The phone in the picture seems to be a Gold/Beige variant

The phone says SCDMA/GSM at the bottom so we cannot completely confirm that this is a China only variant. This might also however end up being a Chinese clone of the Nokia N8 especially since it saws T7 on the front and NSeries on the back.

The only thing that puts us in doubt is the China Mobile logo as Nokia usually release various China only mobile phones under their network. So the logo confusion could also be due to the fact that the device is a prototype. Let’s wait and see.
