Fido looks like they're set to release another Nokia device. Mobile Syrup has mentioned that the Nokia X2 is headed to the carrier in the future. This handset is said to pack a 2.4-inch display, a 2MP camera, a QWERTY keyboard, and the Symbian OS. It could be launching next week for around $100 contract-free so it's a cheap one.

Technoblog has just managed to keep their eyes open while watching a 3-minute video. At around the 2:20 mark, a mysterious and possibly upcoming Nokia device has been spotted. It could be the successor to the Nokia N8 and it'll be running Symbian "Belle" whenever it launches. Specs are unknown right now but it could pack a qHD display. Interesting stuff.

Nokia has unveiled the handset that has leaked for a while now, the Nokia 500. This handset features a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 5MP camera, WiFi support, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 2GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and HSDPA / HSUPA connectivity. This handset is also the first Nokia phone powered by a 1GHz CPU which is now just mid-end stuff. You can expect this one to launch in Q3 for just over $200 and it's likely going to hit AT&T / T-Mobile in the US.

Remember the Nokia N5? Well, it has just been spotted at the FCC and we now know a bit more about it. Inside you'll find WiFi / Bluetooth support along with NFC capabilities. 3G bands include 850/1700/1900MHz so it'll be great for AT&T or T-Mobile in the US and just about every carrier in Canada. The price and release date for this one are still unknown right now. Check it out at the FCC.

The Nokia C3-01.5 has leaked and let's hope that's not the name that they choose to launch it with. Said dumbphone is said to pack 512MB of RAM, a 1GHz CPU, a 2.4-inch display, and the S40 OS. The price and release date for this one is unknown right now but it should be announced in September at Nokia World. Looks like we'll have to be patient until then.

Another Nokia running Symbian has just been spotted at the FCC and it's the RM-670 "Zeta". This one packs 1700MHz AWS along with 850/1900MHz 3G bands so it could actually hit AT&T / T-Mobile in the US and a bunch of different carriers in Canada. Specs for this one aren't official yet but it should feature a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 1GHz CPU, NFC, and Symbian "Belle". Check it out at the FCC.

Last week we heard about the Nokia 700 "Zeta" and today we're now seeing press shots of it - in white. This handset should feature a 1GHz CPU along with the dying Symbian OS. Of course, this handset will also have a black model but it could also come in a bunch of other colours as well. The full spec sheet is unknown right now but at least Nokia trying to snag some of the mid-end market.

It looks like Nokia could be prepping a few (four) new Symbian smartphones. Said smartphones may actually feature 1GHz CPUs which is great for the mid-end market. The N700 Zeta is said to be sporting a 3.2-inch AMOLED display along with NFC tech. Moving along, the 701 (Helen) may have a 3.5-inch Clear Black display (possibly LCD) and an 8MP camera. This one is said to be the successor to the Nokia C7.

The Cindy is also said to feature a 3.2-inch AMOLED display and NFC tech but it also has a 5MP camera as well. Last, but not least, there's the 500 (Fate) which is said to feature a 5MP camera. The 500 may actually be the N5 that leaked yesterday so don't be surprised if that's the case.

Update: According to GSM Arena, the photo above is the Nokia (Zeta) N700 so feast your eyes on that one for now.

A new handset has leaked on the interwebs and it's the image you see above. Apparently, what you see here is the upcoming Nokia N5 which will feature the Symbian "Anna" OS. This one appears to be sporting a 3.2-inch display, a 5MP camera with an LED flash, and could also come in black and white models. The handset will be available soon and will be followed by the N6 and the N7. Symbian is dying but the company is trying to keep it alive for little bit longer - until their WP7 handsets are ready.

A bunch of new phones from Nokia have gone official today and it starts with the Nokia N9. Stephen Elop announced this one and it officially features a 3.9-inch AMOLED display with a 480 x 854 resolution, 1GB of RAM, 16GB / 64GB of storage, an outstanding 8MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1 / WiFi a/b/g/n support, NFC, GPS, quad-band GSM / penta-band WCDMA connectivity, a microSIM slot, a polycarbonate body, a 3.5mm "AV connector", and the MeeGo 1.2 OS. The OS itself is pretty good but lacks apps severely. There's a bunch of pre-installed apps like Angry Birds Magic and Real Golf 2011 but there's nothing too interesting.

That's not all though because Nokia will always remember its roots. The company also announced the C2-03 which is a basic phone with a 240 x 400 resolution touchscreen display. The handset sports 10MB of storage, a microSD card slot, and the S40 OS. This one will reportedly be available in Q3 of this year in India, China, Eurasia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asian-Pacific region for €77 ($110 USD).

Last, but not least, Nokia announced the N950 which is intended for developers who are interested in the MeeGo OS. This one features a 4-inch LCD display with a 480 x 854 resolution, an 8MP camera, and Bluetooth 2.1 / WiFi support. Sadly, this one doesn't have NFC and sports a slightly smaller batter than the N9. The price and release date for this one - and the N9 - are still unknown.

Rogers looks like they're bringing another Symbian handset to Canada, the Nokia X7. This one features a 4-inch AMOLED display with a 360 x 640 resolution, an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and a microSD card slot (8GB included). The price and release date is unknown right now but it should be available this Summer.

Videotron has just released a new touchscreen device and it's running the Symbian OS. Yes, the Nokia C7-00 is now available on the carrier for $89.95 on contract and $439.95 contract-free which is pretty expensive. The handset itself features a 3.5-inch display, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and a microSD card slot. Check it out on Videotron.

Well, looks like we're going to have to wait a bit longer for Nokia to unveil their first Windows Phone 7 handset. The company is having yet another Symbian focused event on April 12th. It's unknown what it will be right now, so you'll have to sit patient for another week.

A new Nokia slider handset has just leaked out. This one looks like it'll sport a touchscreen display along with the S40 UI. This could actually be sporting the RM745 model number so we might've seen it in the mock photo below. Looks pretty good in those photos. Specs are still unknown.

Just because Nokia announced that they're ditching Symbian and MeeGo for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 but it looks like they have a handset headed to T-Mobile in the future. It's going to be the Nokia C5-04 and we already heard before that it might be launched as the Nuron 2. Unfortunately, this one's still running on Symbian so that might be bad news if you don't like the OS. Price and exact release date is unknown as well so we'll have to wait for that to get leaked.

The title and picture above says it all. Nokia's CEO, Stephen Elop, and Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, announced that their companies are going to become partners in the smartphone war. Yes, Nokia is ditching Symbian - and also MeeGo for the most part - in favour for Windows Phone 7. It seems like a weird deal but it was really their only option. Android is way too competitive for them and they'd also need to work on a custom UI which could be tough for them. Going with WP7, all they have to do is make the hardware and slap the OS on there.

We don't know when Nokia phones running this OS will be available but you should still expect some Symbian and MeeGo devices later this year - only a few of them. 2012 will be their big push in the Windows Phone 7 war. 2011 and 2012 will be "transitional years" for Nokia as they try to get themselves back on track. The company is also going to be working on Microsoft and MeeGo tablets, which should be interesting.


Update: The Inquirer has mentioned that Microsoft is going to be updating their OS in March of this year. This should be quite a large update.

So, a new Nokia handset has just been spotted in the wild. It's being called the N9 right now by a bunch of different sites but the device full says that it's the C0 if you look in the top left of the display. This is looking to be a prototype or something right now and it could be joining the C-Series of devices from Nokia. The device itself is clearly running the Symbian OS along with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash, a front-facing camera with an LED flash, 850/1900MHz 3G bands for North America, and an nHD (360 x 640 resolution) touchscreen display. Apparently, this handset will actually be launching with the MeeGo OS so it could actually be an N-Series device. Let's just wait and see what happens...
