Leaked?: N8-01? Stunning curved screen Symbian Belle Nokia on a Nokia 700 hands on demo

DGui tipped this video in of a Nokia 700 hands on demo. But there’s something very special inside. Nokia have put a promo video of an unknown, unreleased Nokia Symbian Belle phone. Unless it has slipped my mind, I haven’t seen this before. They can’t just be using a concept design to demo NFC as they’ve got three brand new NFC devices already (As well as the old C7) right? (But would Nokia be so careless as to just put an unannounced phone as a video demo in some new demo devices? SeaRay stuff makes things questionable)

I’m not sure if they mention it in the video (I don’t understand Greek). It’s not mentioned in their blogpost. However he found it, good eye, DGui.

This new Symbian Belle phone has a gorgeous curved screen. The call/end/menu keys look like they’re possibly capacitive as they’re just flush with the screen and the edges. DGui thought it might be that qHD N8-01.

It looks like a luscious, luxury bar of chocolate with the silver foil bit sliding out, no?

  • Nokia AirCloud
  • Nokia MD-20W bluetooth sound system? (Connection via NFC?)

It’s a very interesting, seemingly very polished, upmarket design from Nokia. It looks positively different from your usual rectangle with curved edges, no? Yet it’s still beautiful. Like N9 beautiful. Marko Ahtisaari wasn’t joking when he talked about designs lifting Nokia and that they’d be somewhat N9 inspired. Yummy curved screen for touch swiping. I hated those raised bezels. HATE! Ahem.

Since Nokia are going with the new naming scheme, what do you think this will be called?

Check it out.

    Somehow i’m preety sure that’s just a concept design model that’s used to explain Nokia’s NFC capabilities. May/may not make it to the production line. Though personally that kinda looks ugly to me~ with that white patch of capacitive control buttons bellow =/

    Btw whats up with Nokia and those caller buttons? They couldn’t even make them capacitive like on the HTC Wildfire

    • ccsvchost says:

      if they were capacitive buttons, then you are likely to accidently press them. nokia buttons have good response anyway

    Concept. Elop will not allow a Symbian or MeeGo phone with specifications that are in line with the best in 2011. Such a phone might sell and make it difficult to kill all except WP phones.Just a theory but in my opinion plausible.

  8. Hi Jay, your blog rox! I’m addicted to it! Every day I pass by to check if there’s something new! =)

    I’ve a Nokia N8 and I’m a lil pissed off with this new Symbian Anna. Everything is kinda slow lately and apps crashes all the times!

    If you hear something about Belle (when?) … let us know!

    All the best!

      If you’re willing to risk bricking your phone, you could always download the leaked version of Belle. Apparently it has been getting some great reviews.
