Rumours: Nokia N9/Lumia 800 but with Nokia Belle? #Symbian
Above is apparently an upcoming Symbian phone, with Nokia Belle. As you can see it looks like a N9/800. Buttonless like the N9 but with a camera button like the 800. I can’t seem to tell if there’s a front camera there.
As much as I’d like it to be, it doesn’t look real to me. The only thing I might say is that consumers might find it confusing expecting WP and getting Nokia Belle given the branding with Nokia Lumia, although it could be advantageous too having a much loved design in a different choice of OS again.
The screen looks all wrong though. The angle is very off like some bad advertising agency has just sploshed Belle from July 2011 onto what IS the Nokia Lumia 800 hence just hiding the buttons.
Furthermore, the mighty ElMu said it was true. So I guess that means it’s not.

…poor Eldar!
smartphonegeeks.in have another picture which looks more legit (less phake). HOWEVER where is the HW menu button???? smartphonegeeks.in ALSO said (quote):
“Also, I want you to remember that we didn’t get any information about the screen resolution of the Nokia 801, and I wrote it too. But everyone went ahead and posted that we said, the resolution is 640×360, which is not true. We also aren’t sure whether Nokia 801 is the successor of the N8, and I wrote that too. Please read this post carefully before posting anything, which we haven’t said.”
Looks like the resolution could be more than the clasic 640×360;
SO besides the misssing HW menu btn, if this is true, it’s actually great, because:
1) This one it’s clearly not the N8 successor, so besides this one there will also be the true n8 successor, so at least 2 Symbian phones YAAAYYY !!!
2) This means the N8 successor being the last Symbian phone is totally FALSE
3) The HW design of the N9/L800 is fantastic, it’s great we’ll have that design in Symbian flavour too
4) The design being the same for n9/l800/801 actually dilutes WP7; it says: yeah we officially say WP7 is our primary smartphone platform, but unofficially we have a free for all: the same hw design with different OSes, let the best SW platform win; maybe Nokia is having second thoughts about WP7?!?!
See in wikipedia that N9 MeeGo Linux outsells all 3 Lumia WP combined together: 3 or 4 to 1. N9 sold from 1,5mln to 2mln units, while ALL 3 Lumnia 0,6mln combined! N9 have highier price, this mean N9 has made for Nokia more money (without ANY marketing support!! and with free Linux, so no costs…!) then 3 WP Lumnias together… (with multimilions dollars wasted for marketing and support never seen before!) Note please N9 was forbiden by Mr Elop decison on the best markets like USA, Germany, India etc. Note that in China N9 is leader! Who kills product which Chinese want to import to China??? Who??? Mr Elop…? So if Nokia counts money, also for shareholders, then should consider next MeeGo phones, eg. like 801 also. Symbian is OK, WP is ACTA-ready and sucks, MeeGo is new, modern, rock like solid (haven’t heard about any single MeeGo crash… in just published new system! – compare this to windows habbits…), having Symbian philosophy & good practices inside, having new opportunities and possibilities which were not implemented in Symbian – for me decision is obvious. For me. How about you Nokia, and you Mr Elop? And btw please explain why user having money can’t buy what he want (N9) in USA or western Europe like Germany or UK? Something has changed about idea of free market? Big MS Brother can establish monopoly? Or users are not allowed to make decisions on their own? Do you think they are not smart enough to choose beetwen Linux MeeGo, Symbian or WP? I want next MeeGo handset, I was able to buy N9 so I am aware user and I know why, I will buy a second one just in case, to have replacement for this decade – if Nokia would stop production of N9. If you couldn’t use N9 even for a few days – you dont know what you have lost, just this is how monopoly or N9 market restrictions works. You don’t know, you will not want what you don’t know. And this is not fair. Free ppl should not be limited and especially not limited in access to better technology (linux MeeGo in mobile). That is what I think about it.
Mother of … *facewall*
