Nokia’s new “Lumia” Windows Phone Smartphone Leaked

Published by on Oct 25th, 2011, 10 Comments

To be honest, we have been rooting for the whole Nokia / Microsoft Phone partnership ever since it was announced.. We loved Windows Phone 7 (and the new Mango update makes it even better), but we have really been waiting to see it combined with Nokia’s hardware designs.

The wait is over – and images have leaked out of the latest Nokia phones which are supposed to have been unveiled at Nokia World. Initial images seem to suggest only two new devices will be released, simply called the “Lumia 710″ and “Lumia 800″ (Lumia means “art from light” apparently). The Lumia 710 looks pretty simple, in fact a little chubby, but previously leaked images seem to suggest multiple colours could be made available.

The higher end Lumia 800 model is a familiar shape, in fact it looks like a carbon copy of the Nokia N9. The N9 is a brilliantly designed phone from a hardware perspective, but the Meego operating system is all but dead in the water. So it is great to see the familiar design combined with an OS like Windows Phone 7. Right now the specs for the two devices are scarce, but we do not have to wait much longer.

Our only worry is that Nokia will take too long to release these phones. Example in point – the Nokia N8 had people salivating when the first leaked images appeared, and when it was unveiled. But it took Nokia more than 6 months to release the phones – which is way too long in this competitive industry.

Nokia – it will be in your best interest to release these phones before December. Just our 2 cents.

    Yea… As stefan implied, gone are the days where people were excited to see what nokia was going to release. They have lost user interest, and now going to windows isn’t a step forward.

    I haven’t lost interest. Nokia is still the most reliable phone on the market. Sure the software sucks, but it’s okay for business and reliability. Maybe you should buy a Laptop mate?

    Ever since I had a Nokia phone, more than about 10 years ago, I never looked back.  Along the way I tried Motorola, Samsung, but none came close to being as user-friendly and reliable as Nokia.  I recently bought a second-hand Samsung D900i, just because it was dirt-cheap, it’s now collecting dust at home

    nokia actually rock, but they have been too slow with new designs. others stay ahead of the game, but nokia rely too much on their name, thus they are left behind.
