Unannounced 1.4GHz Nokia 710 specs at Nokia developer page. Symbian or Windows Phone?
@Camb078 @Soussef24 and @cambo78 included me in a tweetconvo where they discuss an odd new Nokia phone that’s suspiciously been leaked at Nokia’s own developer page. I see adnokr5 tweeted me that too. (Sorry, will check tips section after).
Something called the Nokia 710 (which I think someone had tipped about the other day, but I was not able to cover that story at the time). You can see it complete with specifications, with labels suggesting a new Symbian phone. The specs initially say Maemo Internet Tablet 2008, but they all point to Windows Phone.

- 1.4GHz Cortex A8
- 3.7″, 800×480? (Looks Windows Phoney) Clear Black TFT
- 28mm wide angle but 5MP camera
- 720p, 30FPS
- 8GB Internal memory
- 512mb RAM
- Browser undisclosed
- Bit scary - BL-5B 3.7V 820mAh (820mAh) – 400 hours standby (more than iPhone 4S), 5H 3G browsing, 7H GSM talk time. MicroSIM.
- Seems more likely it’s an accidentally uncovered Windows Phone, based on the screen resolution and current specs.
Would be interesting if it was actually a return of Maemo :p

Whats Nokia’s fascination with 3.7 inch screens we need some more 4 inch ones. Well i do.
They want to rock like it’s 2009.
I am thinking they have bought a stupid amount of 3.7 inch screens and they are hogging their warehouses and they need to be used up……
They should have just put a phone inside the 4″ N800 with 280 x 800 screen then they would be the daddy of these tablet phones.
*480 x 800 Nokia N800 in 2007. Mine still works well for web browsing and podcasts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N800
Maemo Nokia 770 had 480 x 800 in 2005!!!!!
Why didn’t hey put a phone in there!?!?!!
And Symbian just has 640 x 480 in 2011.
640×360 you mean.
i think anything past 3.5 is considered a tablet
Well, I consider the overall device’s size. Like N9 is almost same as N8, but with larger screensize and it is welcome, in fact it is better. But when large screens also mean larger overall handset size then its about users preference.
Yeah n9 is perfect.. 3.9″ with the size of about N8 3.5″
I think 3.7 is a perfect size for a phone. I hate it when a phone doesn’t fit in my pocket; all those stupid 4.2-4.3 phones.
Depends on the size of the person. I agree with you for my own use, but people with much bigger hands, and likely bigger waist size and bigger pockets are quite right to want something bigger.
And more than 5MP camera
Yes that as well I am sure Nokia have stock pilled a stupid amount of them…..
What are we up to now? Few of the Galaxy SII variants are up to 4.6. I guess Dell discontinued Streak a little too soon. We’ll be up there again in a few months.
3.7 is just ok 4″ or more is just too big for the pocket
For me no phone would be leave to past the 4inhc screen size… if you really need a bigger screen buy a Pad/Tablet… if you really need a BIG one to work, buy a 11-12inch Laptop..
I agree, but it is a popular size. Iphone4 4s are only 3.5 and they are the two top selling phones. I prefer the larger 4 inch screen though personally as well.
> 4 inch screens IMO sucks. I want a phone that I can use easily with just one hand. The HTC Titan, 4.7, I could just turn on the GPS and fry a egg on there.
If there were no “less than 4 inch” Nokia phones I would buy an iPhone.
Interestingly, the curve helps. The 4.1″ screen on the Dell Venue Pro is easier to use one handed than the 3.5″ screen on the iPod touch.
Well, it does say that the development framework is Symbian C++, Java, and Flash, so I’m inclined to think that it is not WP.
werd
Symbian with 800×480 res sounds pretty weird though.
I agree. I think it’s Symbian Belle.
I was about to say that. If this information is correct, it is obviously not a Windows Phone device. And being on the Nokia Developer website, I’m inclined to believe it is correct.
Can someone confirm if nokia 603 has Micro sim as i read in few posts
Sure it has. you can check here
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/Comparison.xhtml?dev=603
look at extra features
“BL-5B 820mAh 3.7V (820mAh) – 400 horas em standby (mais de 4S iPhone), navegação 3G 5H, 7H tempo de conversação GSM”. I liked it!
Can’t be a Windows Phone. WP7 only runs on Qualcomm chips, while OMAP (Cortex A8) are the chips Nokia favored for Symbian and everything Maemo/MeeGo related.
Maybe a cheaper version of the N9?
OK, something:
The browser is Webkit. That is either a Symbian browser, or a MeeGo one (Maemo was Gecko).
OMAP chips are made by Texas Instruments, btw.
Snapdragon is based on Cortex-A8..
Also, There is no mention of Qt for it.. So don’t think its MeeGo\Symbian based..
though it has mentioned Symbian C++, Java, Flash
Snapdragon is not a Cortex-A8 cpu. It’s only using the armv7 instruction set with it’s own core. And afaik if this is a Symbian device it’ll be the first one which is using armv7 as all the others are using armv6.
I meant is similar to Cortex-A8… I think the reason why it mentions Cortex-A8( and other junk values) currently is because the real values may not be available for the fields.. SO they are either taking the ones similar to just putting junk values (like the OS)..
Yeah it must be joke that got a bit out of hand.
Too many things that don’t make any sense at all.
Displaying OS as Internet Tablet OS 2008 Edition
0_o
Exactly. This must be the long lost little brother of the N800/N810!
I wouldn’t mind an N810 with an upgraded processor
It does look like a WP device with 1.4 GHz Cortex-A8 processor and the 480X800 resolution.. Also, there is no support for MicroSD and only 3 3G bands (Qualcomm radio???). But some settings are not yet available in Nokia DB, so looks like they gave some junk values and the battery seems to be one of them..
It has Nokia Store. iDon’t think so if it can be windows
Nokia had said that Nokia Store will be a seperate app store within Microsoft Marketplace… This is one of the “benefits” for Nokia in WP..
http://www.distimo.com/blog/2011_04_nokia-microsoft-sign-agreement-nokia-gets-a-windows-marketplace-powered-app-store-symbian-apps-included/
Looks like another Maemo device. Why they would go from a 16:9 to 16:10 aspect ratio makes no sense though.
It does look weird, as the specs suggest a 1.4GHz Scorpion based system running Windows Phone but everything says that it’s clearly not.
makes no sense? Wake the hell up. 16:9 sucks. If you’ve ever used a phone with 8:5 or 4:3 you’ld be disgusted by 16:9.
Consistent aspect ratio is important. Symbian phones and the N9 use 16:9, they should stick to that so that apps can be designed with the UI elements as a % of the screen rather than by pixels.
It’s a Mango device… Seen some pretty good proof…
Like what?
Sorry, you have been wrong a couple of times so just wonder what kind of proof you have this time.
Probably the fact that it was in a WP bug report and the fact that it appeared on Occasional Gamer’s site where the majority of unannounced WP devices have shown up…
Oh, and the fact that if you clicked the link referring to the to it’s profile on the Developer page it sent you here: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Windows_Phone/Tools/
Actually removed from the website… if this is a joke… someone will receive a joke in the form of a really long unpayed vacations…
Once they announce the dual screen I’ll be wetting my pants. Go Nokia!!!!
It has been removed from the site, but here’s an image with the whole list, screenshot from the site: http://dgui.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/nokia-710.png
this is most likely the Sabre, which is the really low end model
I absolutely agree, this has to be Sabre. Same body as Sea Ray but less storage 8GB, TFT instead of AMOLED, and 5MP instead of 8MP camera.
So Sabre is the Nokia 710, Sea Ray is the Nokia 800 and we’re still waiting for confirmation on the number for Ace (perhaps 900).
It doesn’t make sense in any fashion, not even as a fake. Just looks like a mistake.
This might be a tablet, and you can call with it.
Tablets don’t have 3.7-inch displays…
fix focus agaaaain …..
No way
