KPN Unannounced Lumia is “Not a Nokia Device”
My eyes were rather sore yesterday morning after only sleeping an hour so whilst I was typing up a story on a 920 KPN promo, I had to double-take when I saw something that wasn’t an announced Lumia I was aware of. I attributed it to possibly my memory just failing at the time.
KPN claims that was not even a Lumia. The translation we got that “it’s not a Nokia Device”. It made me paranoid that HTC is stepping up their copy the Lumia game with that strip at the back. Haha, the story made it to Dutch news website Nu.nl.

Lumia that’s not a Nokia Device? The MS Lumia 
No. Just an error in translation perhaps. Our tipper ryfsap said:
Nokia Netherlands and KPN have responded to newssite Nu.nl concerning the leaked Lumia phone in the KPN commercial.
Nokia says: ‘It’s not a Nokia phone, ask KPN’
KPN says: ‘We are investigating the situation’
Cheers ryfsap for the tip!

@Jay
To further clarify your latest update on this, KPN haven’t just said “we’re investigating”, they’ve confirmed it’s a dummy/mock-up:

Just an FYI, it’s a repainted samsung devices or something.
wise words with no backup reason
thats a new lumia phone.. cmon it has the nokia strip at the back!!! and that dual led flash. only nokia does that
I will eat my hat if that is not a Nokia device. It clearly is.
Who is that girl ??
She must be pretty close to some big name of Nokia to get hands-on to an unannounced device.
For me, if it’s not a cheap Chinese clone, it’s a Nokia.
As speculated in the previous thread, it IS possible they mocked up (or post-processed) a Lumia 920 “lookalike” if they didn’t have a yellow Lumia 920 when they shot those figure-making scenes. That could be a reasonable explanation. Maybe it is just done in post-processing, changing color and adding the camera stripe or maybe they painted some Android phone and glued a print of the camera stripe to the back…
Tom Warren from the Verge saying at Twitter today, that Nokia is only going to announce two phone at MWC.
Do we (anyone) have any insight, that suggests other outcomes?
Tom Warren @tomwarren
I’m revising my estimates of Nokia @ MWC upwards. Two phones.
At least this data suggests that there will be more than two:

+1. you are always fast with the news.
It’s of course a possibility that the cheaper 520 will be presented in some other event elsewhere in the world
Here’s what the mentioned nu.nl article says:
KPN confirms to NU.nl that the device is not a Nokia Lumia. “We can see how the yellow colour could suggest so, but this is a mock up made for the commercial” a spokesperson for KPN says.
“As we älso use the yellow Nokia Lumia in the commercial, we made this device yellow as well”
