Remember that developer video where an unannounced Nokia Lumia Windows Phone appeared? Nokia subsequently pulled that video and replaced that with a Nokia Lumia 800.

Leaked? Nokia 801 pics.
Ooh new phone . Here’s something apparently for the China Market and called Nokia 801. It’s not the 801 N8 successor, just some Anna variant for TD-HSPA. Oddly at the front there are no buttons. There isn’t even any room for buttons.. Where’s the Symbian menu button though? The camera says 8MP, it has dual flash [...]

Nokia N9 MeeGo Harmattan style launcher for Android
Browsing the tweets for some interesting Nokia related news whilst waiting for a video to upload, I came across something for N9 envious phandroids :p.

It looks incredible. It’s classy, nicely done, [...]

Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 Launched in Hong Kong

Lumia 800 – Phone of the year; WP Market place reaches 40,000 apps and other Lumia related news.
OK for the sake of not overly doing it on Lumia news for now, let’s look at them all very quickly in this post. I think it’s important to point out again that success of Nokia Lumia 800 or WP does not make the success of Symbian/MeeGo/S40 any less of a good thing. 1) [...]

Unannounced Nokia Lumia Windows Phone edited out of developer video (replaced with 800 instead)
Remember the other day, reader thaijoni spotted a new Nokia Windows Phone handset that was neither the Lumia 800 or 710? It seemed to have quite a large screen. If that was intentional, then Nokia would have just left it there, like they did with their concept NFC Belle phones. However, not only did they [...]
