Nokia 909 mystery explained? Nokia Lumia 1020’s alter ego.

It’s been discussed a few times here now how the Nokia Lumia 1020 is also known as the Nokia 909. That was the rumoured name for a little while and if you check out the packaging/about/wifi tethering name/sim tray etc you might see more evidence that this is the case.

Michal looked into this matter further and emailed us this article. The original is in Polish at http://nokiawindowsphone.pl/dlaczego-w-informacjach-telefonu-widnieje-nokia-909-zamiast-nokia-lumia-1020

Interesting. All I was previously used to were the RM/RX style model numbers and the actual model name. Those code numbers aren’t usually seen in packaging or in something like the device name when setting up bluetooth/tethering.
