Lumia 610 and Global Lumia 900 coming to MWC says Reuters.
Whilst this news isn’t exactly new to folks who have been following, it is even more believable given that Reuters have now picked it up.

They mention that both the lower end Nokia Lumia 610 (unannounced) and a globabl version of the currently US only (and not yet available) Nokia Lumia 900.
What they don’t mention however is one we also know is coming (given Nokia’s recent teaser). The one in everyone’s seems to be the Nokia PureView (808), a camera smartphone that will shatter the dreams of the competitor devices trying to one-up the Nokia N8. Guys – Sammy, HTC, Sony, Apple, etc – Nokia gave you nearly two years to beat it (hardware announced from April 2010 remember?). Seems the only one that will properly unseat the Nokia, is quite rightfully, Nokia.

unless this “pure view” ad is for 900 with 12mp camera?
that were great!..i like the wp 7,5 UI and feel..but the camera on the lumia800 sucks…:\..so if the 900 have such a cam like in the teaser…->buyed!
why would nokia 1st release the 900 specially for america with a 8mp cam and spend millions in marketing. then release a better version for the rest of the world? didnt they also say all the focus is on the US market?
although not sure and don’t care , but there’s talk about this camera being a whole new generation of EDOF which Americans just hate (no AF that is) …
for emotional sentiments sake,let it be symbian pls
+1
hmm.. I wonder how the cheap 610 will compare to the cheap 603.
I think pure view is just the technology name that will probably come in future nokia devices
likely correct. but the first one to have will be a Symbian.
pure relates in some way to nokia pure sans, so it might have something to do with that.
Heh, yeah, I was joking in the other thread that it will just be a Nokia branded magnifying glass (perhaps with a Carl Zeiss lense? :p ) to read their new ecofriendly stamp sized manuals!
but I think its more than that.
or rather: I know its more than that.
its like you know what you are talking about. or maybe im just excited at all this speculation
Symbian (Nokia 808) has more hype than Nokia Windows Phone!
I think its both.
My guess is that, whatever this pure view thing is, it is related with a WP. Because Lumia means snow, isn’t it?
It means “light” so I heard
Lumia is the partitive form of “lumi” in Finnish.
But, the first Pure View phone will be Symbian.
And what does “Lumi” means?
Thank you.
Snow.
Gees if nokia could put the beast cam of the 808 on a global wp7 lumia 910, it will sell like crazy. The lumia 900 is a good enough competitor as it is. It just needs the super cam. The only major problem i guess is fitting it in their and having it no so fat lol
I have an itchy feeling that pure view is a name for advanced EDOF. This will address the size of camera modules and will allow proper high def video recording. Or maybe its a combination of EDOF tech and AF tech. I can only imagine
EDoF.
What a scary, scary thought. I did think that would be a funny joke if that was the case.
Having said that, it was a frequent topic of discussion that should EDoF reach macro depth, it would actually be alright. I wouldn’t want advanced EDoF though, and the video shows different depths of fields (one part has some bokeh).
I expect PureView to be something else. There is something very smart going on in Nokia’s cameras.
The new symbian pure view device will have around 40 MP. The purpose of 40 MP is not to shoot giant pics. Here it comes: The purpose is sort of a new improved digital zoom, truezoom. If you have 40 Megapixels and, and then make it zoom x4 it is still a scaled down 2.5MP picture with quite a lot of details and good quality. This way you don’t need an fragile optical zoom and devices can be kept thin and have good build quality.
does make sense. and makes me wanna buy this phone regardless of os status D= D=
Wow, the mighty capabilities of Symbian. If only Nokia would fully support symbian and windows phone then I would be very happy. The symbian one for me, windows phone for my brother. Hehe
Make that Maemo and Windows Phone and you have my attention…
+1000
If maemo5/6x had been given as much love as Symbian but much earlier.
We’d all be massive fanboys nowadays…
