Hey, cool You read PocketNow or Twitter? Because that's where I dropped the link.

Seriously, you guys all fail at reading or you have me on ignore. I posted that it's an old fan render, everyone ignores it. I post more pictures and try to make it look legit? "Don't like the phone, blah blah blah". What's wrong with you? /Reggie

Anyway, here's something real.

 

[AAequal]

It's nice that Nokia uses some colors on their designs, kinda bored with the black and white scheme. Isn't Nokia going to announce three models ?

 

[kehs]

I do.

Between the two, they almost have a full OS.

All it needs are merit badge graphics and faux leather textures.

Haven't see it posted yet, I don't think.

Anyway, here's something real.

 

[jonnybryce]

I hope they announce a higher end phone.

Also, the name Lumia is kinda feminine, which matters in a world of DROIIIIIIIIIIIID and iPhone. Saying "Nokia Lumia" doesn't even sound nice.

 

[Dipswitch]

Just bought a 32gb dell venue pro for $200 brand new. yuh!

Where in blue blazes did you score that deal? Also, I'm assuming someone just stuck a 32GB card in there, replacing the 8 or 16GB card it came with.

I am starting to doubt the leak of the ace now.... notice it's leak does not mention the lumia name which it looks like will be the brand of all their devices.

 

[FindMyFarms]

Man, the 800 is pretty ugly compared to the N9, the added space due to the windows buttons really ruins the symmetry and makes the bottom bezel look too thick for the phone to have a sleek look. Wish they just put the windows buttons on the existing black space (if that's possible.) And the lumia 710 is just gross.

Hopefully the 900 series looks really nice.

 

[Korey]

People are saying those two new photos are fake too.

Also, they better be announcing more than just those two phones.

 

[Firestorm]

About 11 hours left right?

 

[brotkasten]

I don't get where those high expectations are coming from.

 

[kehs]

I don't get where those high expectations are coming from.

It'd be a shame if they canceled all those leaked WP7 prototypes we've been seeing for months now.

 

[brotkasten]

You know what? Here's another blow.

Our source says that the benchmarks belie the actual performance of the Lumia 800, which is said to be ‘slick and smooth’ and ‘not laggy’. The device looks almost exactly like the Nokia N9 and there is no front camera:

I could be on the upper right corners, but those are probably the proximity sensors.

 

[clav]

I don't get where those high expectations are coming from.

People like setting themselves up for disappointment.

I think I'm set for an Android phone unless Nokia announces a nice lineup for 2012 for CDMA carriers.

 

[Steelyuhas]

I see nothing from these Nokia devices that would make me consider one over the HTC Titan or the Samsung Focus S (sans the 32GB of storage, which would admitting be nice). What is everyone so hyped about?

 

[brotkasten]

What is everyone so hyped about?

Nine months ago, Nokia, the biggest cell phone manufacturer in the world, bet their company and smartphone business on Microsoft's Windows Phone OS. Now everyone is expecting Jesus to show up in the form of a Nokia Windows Phone and save the OS from its demise. Worldwide. On every carrier you could possibly imagine. Sounds reasonable, right?

Why wouldn't you get hyped about this?

Because Nokia appears to be a dying company and the devices they have shown/been leaked don't appear to be jesus phones at all lol.

 

[jonnybryce]

Nokia just needs a high end device that doesn't already exist in their lineup running another OS.

That's not too much to ask. WTF is taking so long if they're just slapping WP7 onto phones they already have and plan to release them in 2012.

Andy Lees (Microsoft):

Well, you have to wait just one more week, because next week Nokia, at Nokia World, are going to be announcing their plans to roll out Windows Phones, amongst other things. And so, we’re very excited for them to be in the market. Certainly they have a lot of resources in many parts of the world, that’ll be a huge accelerant to us. We’re very excited in fact that they’ve chosen, they did an evaluation when they were looking at their future strategy, as to whether they should go Android, or whether they should go Windows Phone or a mixture. They saw our roadmap both for this year and for next year, and I’m assuming that they saw the roadmap for Android and they talked about how the products are going to come together, and they decided to bet the whole company on Windows Phone based on that.

Hopefully they didn't bet their company on those two phones!

Nokia should be releasing phones every couple of months. The rumors have said they should have released upwards of 12 by the end of 2012. So yeah, two launch devices don't really reflect much at all.

Ace looks very corporate....I like it, hopefully it's not all plastic

Apparently Zunepass will launch in Australia next month. Without the free monthly tracks I'm dubious on its value, but I'm sure some people will get something out of it.

New Verizon Windows Phone announcement coming real soon. Sprint? Not so much :/

It'd be dope if it was a Nokia

Hmm.. was thinking of picking up a Trophy since that's the only friggin' W7 Phone I can get on Verizon. Looking forward to hearing more.

Seriously! Even Verizon is on the WP7 bandwagon and Sprint is just limping along.

 

[PG2G]

BTW, seeing benchmarks makes it kinda of depressing how bad IE9 performs. Javascript slower than an iPhone 3GS? Terrible, lol.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Why Zune on PC isn't showing me mango-only apps/games (like Jet Car Stunts) if I do not have my cell phone connected to PC? It should remember that I already updated my device to mango, since I did it on this particular PC. Annoying that I have to plug my phone just to browse new apps.

 

[PG2G]

May want to just use the web marketplace

I had a palm pre on sprint but moved to at&t for the focus.... would love to go back to sprint but they have gone full on android and now iphone. Don't see them clamoring to get any decent wp7 hardware which means I won't be going back anytime soon.... maybe lte will change things..... shame too because they really do have the best smartphone plans.

For a second, I thought you meant there was a "Copernicus OT".

It's ok I understand. I'll vist you in the android thread. You will be missed ='[

After the Omnia 7 I'm done with Samsung phones. I can deal with some issues, but shitty QA is not one of them. At least I know Nokia will deliver on this front.
