Nokia at MWC with at least one high end? Possibly Swipe?
According to Forbes, Nokia is going to launch AT LEAST one high end mobile device at MWC 2012. High end as defined by Nokia or the industry?
Apparently the MWC announcements from Nokia might indicate their plans for 2012.
The upoming device was not confirmed to be a Windows Phone handset, but it was specified to run an ‘unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones’. Unusual and normally high end. Is this Swipe?
Last year, we heard that Nokia were coming back to MWC in a BIG way for 2012. First their at an official MWC booth instead of having their own off site venue.
Details:
- App Planet (Hall 7)-7H30
- App Planet (Hall 7)-7H40
- App Planet (Hall 7)-7I10
New Windows Phone handsets are expected, as well as possibly the N8 successor. Strategy wise, I’d like to hear more on S40/Smarterphone and the possible Meltemi project. It would also be cool to hear Nokia’s plans for the tablet. They’ve already made 3 internet tablets (6 if you count all maemo handsets), but that was way before its time, before tablets became mainstream – I want to hear how they’re going to take on iPad.Source: Forbes
Cheers Drew and Cameron for the tip!
Another full day with hospital placement. 7-7. They’re really great learning experiences but they do take it out of you by the time you get home :s. Good thing Belle got released YESTERDAY.

well xcuse me…nokia c6-01 doesnt
have a real play it has its own
embedded video player which cannot
play .mkv files at any cost. and if u read
my last pst clearly i mentioned that it
does play .flv files but only when u play dem from the file manager. it will not
show .flv files in the video gallery…u
must check which fone u r using…m
talkin abt symbian anna. not series 60
which had real
hopefully not another n9/800 variant.
I have given up on the idea of a nokia high end device.
i think it is s40 high end phone or symbian carla phone with n9 housing.
Surely one of the mnb contributors can make it? If not ill go ^^
I would go if I could. Have Uni enrolment and subject placement that entire week
Would have been amazing experience
Software feature huh… Hmmmm.. Maybe it is Skype
Although that is on low end phones too haha
there were rumors about a second device with the Meego/Maemo swipe ui last year… but when they came out with the white n9, I just assumed they were talking about that…
I wonder if it’s some combination of N950 and the N9, meaning an N950, but with N9 screen, front camera, etc (I forget the other differences).
Perhaps ms finally agreed to have swipe on wp. ;p
I do think that a keyboard e7 type wp phone is what a lot of wp fans are wanting.
N8 successor with swipe?
Symbian is probably already dead – support is being removed from Qt 5. And I remember times where Nokia really pushed for Symbian in Qt 4, so…
And you know – no Qt 5, no devels…
For Meltemi device – again, comparing to Qt 5 development – it’s already Feature Frozen, so…
so ??
Announcement of Tango
To me it sounds like it’s about the fact that Nokia finally are moving S40 to ‘smartphone’ level. That means that Nokia would include multitasking and other highend features on S40/meltemi. At the same time Nokia is again going to be the biggest smartphone vendor! The term ‘smartphone’ is going to be obsolite anyway in the near future. Everything that today say it is a smartphone is going to be on EVERY phone soon.
What is smartphones going to evolve to? For now, maybe only to be ‘high-end smartphones’…
just my 2 cents..
May be true, but can really Nokia have developed a totally new operating system in total secrecy, and so quickly?
In full open : it’s called maemo and made by nokia for OMAP3, and for other hw plateform it’s smarterphoneos.
On top of that is swipe for UI and qt for devs.
CHEERS GUYS….
N8-01 will be released officially at Mobile world congress
Specifications and Features of Nokia
N8-01: 4” CBD Super AMOLED touchscreen
display 540 x 960 pixels qHD screen resolution Dragontrail glass display Symbian Belle OS with Qt on top 1.2GHz dual core processor BCM 2763 GPU 1GB (RAM and ROM) 32GB memory 16MP auto focus camera Carl Zeiss Optics with True zoom
technology Xenon Flash 1080p HD video recording
any source or your just saying?
hopefully those specs would available for the Nokia Lumia 1000 running Apollo
i dont think symbian has the capability to record 1080p.i that that requires a dual codr proc.
‘run an unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones..’
How about NFC for S40 and all the supposed ‘dump phones’?
Should read dumb-phones, not dump!
“unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones” This obviously means that new announced Nokia device will be either low-end or mid-end at best
Yeah, that’s what I got from the news as well.
Windows Phone news and updates, will be handled largely by Microsoft, not Nokia.
And since Symbian is on its last breath, with Nokia supporting less and less, it’s obviously about S40 dumb phones for emerging markets.
In other words, for us….who cares?
I mean, when was the last time you were anticipating a dumb phone? Maybe six years ago, when I had a Razr…
i don’t understand why they don’t put symbian 3 in all the low end phones. they are already starting to put 1 ghz processors in them and bigger screens. i think it’s better than upgrading s40 with multitasking and other features.
doznt matter wat the bring out if it doznt have apps,its gona fail just like da rest………….wake up ppl
I think it is not swipe. Skype or sth like iCloud
I think it is not swipe. Skype or sth like iCloud or Siri

finger crossed

omg.. xenon flash and release in may and SOLD
Grrr hurry-up and tell us WTH’s happening w/Meltemi Nokia!
Maemo6x (stripped & merged w/”some” of S40) + Qt5 + SwipeUX for your dumb/featurephones.
= instantly becoming the worlds largest smartphone vendor, not just handset maker.
And your tablet strategy, you gotta get back in the game there too!
