Sources said that an announcement was expected on March 24th which is tomorrow. While we are not sure that we will see an announcement, there is good news however.
We present to you the Nokia N8-00 or the Nokia N98. Depends on what it will be finally called. The leaked pictures show a phone with 12 Megapixel Carl-Zeiss/Tessar Camera, LED and Xenon Flash. There however seems to be no lens cover.
It is a full touchscreen phone and keys are minimal. We are not sure if there is a hardware keyboard hidden beneath. It does however have a micro-SD Card Slot, camera shutter key, key guard switch and volume up/down keys. An HDMI port looks to be present.
The screen is said to have a WVGA resolution of 480*800 identical to the Nokia N900. The battery capacity is 1200maH.
It is also said to be the first mobile running Symbian^3.
The design seems to be quite similar to the Sony Ericsson Aino. The phone seems to be using metal materials with matte finish and so fingerprints should be minimal on the surface apart from the screen. Let’s hope for the announcement soon.
