Futuristic Nokia caught in Real Steel movie trailer. Has MeeGo like screen – Nokia N9?
Wowsers! In a trailer for an up coming Action Sci-Fi, Real Steel, starring Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Kate from Lost (Evangeline Lilly), a futuristic looking Nokia phone makes an appearance.
Real Steel is a (supposed 80 million dollar budget) movie about…boxing robots. Yeah you heard.
This isn’t the first time Nokia’s put some of their devices in movies, whether it be current, concept or unannounced upcoming handset.
It’s not too far out like in Star Trek, but it might be like the 5800 in Batman…unannounced, coming soon? 
. The handset looks like a Nokia N8. it has the characteristic tapering edges and a similar “bezel”. Very neat, it also sports a glowing sides, which seems to have that lovable LED/Light function of notifications. In the video, you’ll see it dim when ending a call.
Actually the “bezel” from this angle is just the tips overlaying. It could be possible that those tips come off and (like a case) and the entire edge all around glows. Actually, the whole thing could be just a “N8″ with a cover.
Nice! Not sure about walking in the night when you’re taking a call and you’ve got this beacon saying “mug me”.
Something of interest. The UI might just be faked for the video but take a look at the notification bar anyway. Battery, signal, some other stuff on the left. Clock on the right.
Oh what do we have here? Battery, signal, on left, clock and other stuff on the right.
This is the MeeGo screenshots we saw last year! Apart from the bar being much fatter (possibly to be more visible in the film, as part of call mode, or just faked, it is very similar. It is much more different to the New Symbian UI bar seen in February and also to Windows Phone.
Does this mean it’s the Nokia N9/n950? Yesterday we saw the Nokia RM-680 passing FCC, and it looked a lot like the leaked N9 from last year, with keyboard. The phone here in Real Steel looks to be a candybar. Also we also heard that a film company has started shooting for the new “Nokia N950″ 4G smartphone.
Now going back to that somewhat unique light design, remember what Chief of MeeGo said about the new upcoming MeeGo device?
1. Launching a product from our MeeGo program later this year. We believe our upcoming device (N950?) will have unique appeal to the style-conscious, connected enthusiast.
Remembering this again, it makes me wonder why (I can’t find the link) it was mentioned by some Nokia person that N950 might not be for the masses again (my google fu fails me). [RM680 might not be N950 that's coming in the summer, according to dsmobile, "i can assure you that the RM-680 is not the device you are getting from stores later this summer" via Camb078 - RM-680 might just be that non masses developer MeeGo then]

Cheers thaijoni for the heads up!
it’s nothing more than star trek Nokia car phone. Just a Nokia add. Movie is must see!
its the robotic version of n8
2 things jump out: The Nokia logo looks weird (maybe Nokia Pure?), but the operator seems to be ‘Elisa’, which is one of the three big operators in Finland, often seen in Nokia ads.
OMG this is exciting!
Wow, You have good eye for details. I can’t say that that they would “jump out” but they seem to be there.
The Nokia logo is a bit different from the current one. “O” is rounder than the normal one. The letters are still too wide to be Nokia Pure, even the bold version, maybe its just FX-guy’s interpretation of the current one.
Operator name could indeed be Elisa, but it’s still too small that I could be sure.
I wrote my original comment on my N8, and now that I looked the trailer in fullhd on my 23 inch monitor, it looks like it indeed says “Elisa”. I can get you a bigger picture if you’re interested.
Hmmm could it be…Well it’s look cool to me.. Nice found Jay
I want that tablet . Wow
It’s seems like N8 very much,with PR 3.0 maybe…
looks like a Nokia N8 with a clear housing (except for the end caps)
as for the software seen on the device I wouldnt put much stock in what’s seen; after all the movie had finished filming about a year ago (Sept 2010) and the trailer was available by Christmas 2010
really wish we had editing comments atm
Its more likely product placement for the Nokia N8 like in TRON; Nokia probably thought Reel Steal would have been released by the end of last year or early this year. The timing would have been great since the N8 just got released when Real Steel was ready to be released
But its not going to be released until October this year (a full year later)
Slow Nokia news day, huh?
In the trailer, the release date is said to be 10.7.2011, which goes really well with the statement that Nokia Meego device will be ready in H2 of 2011.
If N9/N950 will be handed out for early adopters (attendees/developers on Meego conference in may in San Francisco), a month for aditional testing and 3rd party developing would be awesome from consumer’s point of view – he’ll get polished product with applications from big players. I think Angry Birds in QtQuick would be enough, but official clients for Twitter, Facebook and others would be cool. But deeper integration would be better. As Rich Green said: “We believe our upcoming device will have unique appeal to the style-conscious, _connected_ enthusiast.”
Well, I am really eager to buy this thing.

Wow. I love Hugh Jackman!
Time 10:49, number of reception bars, and the amount of battery left are all the same as the meego screenshot.
good work
i suppose we can but dream eh?
not so sure i want to stick out like a sore thumb lol..
besides, doesnt look that thin either? was hoping for something a bit more svlette!
Can anyone estimate the screen size? If it seems bigger than the N8′s we can rule out the possibility of it being an N8 with clear housing.
[...] Cowboys plaatste een vermeende video welke aangetroffen werd op mynokiablog.com waarin het toestel te zien zou zijn. Het blog bezweek waarschijnlijk door het vele verkeer maar is [...]
It doesn´t have the menu button of either N8 or E7, propably just some movieproto.
BTW at 44s that guy uses that “tablet” as a laptop.
Looking good. but its more than tablet like look rather N8 look. Is there any working on this project or just a star treck gadget
OK, so I just saw this trailer today (I let news come to me, if it’s important, I see it. I don’t, well..it’s not that important.) and I’m surprised no one here commented on the “lines” going across the screen.
See how on the left bottom edge of said “lines” it’s a little raised from the ACTUAL screen? You can infer this on the top edge too, but it’s much easier to spot on the bottom.
Plus if you look along the right side of the phone where these “lines” connect, I’d say were looking at some sort of a hinge…
I believe it’s a keyboard ladies and gents! A see through keyboard that flips out when you need it and probably would have programmable/contextual buttons depending on what you’re doing.
All the other stuff was easy to notice, they were gimmes! How come no one mentioned this!!??
That Nokia phone is an Organic LED phone or OLED just like from Robert Downeys Ironman 2 LG Phone that one in real steel is d proto type of whats to come in d future nokia smartphones.
Usually I do not read article on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thank you, very great post.
can i know which this nokia set ????????????
i wont to know
