The Phones
The groundwork of Nokia ’s card for this year is expect to be the Sea Ray , or the Nokia 800 , count on which rumor you ’re listening to ( they ’re the same phone ) . It’sreportedlygot a 3.7 - column inch Super AMOLED screen , a 1.4GHz C.P.U. , and could be released a few week after its bear proclamation next week . former rumors say November 15th .
On top of the Sea Ray , anew French telephone cry the “ Saber”just pop onto the Finnish radar , and apparently it ’s got a 1.4 GHz central processing unit , 3.5 - inch WVGA concealment , and 1 GB of RAM . And that ’s about all we love for now .

There are also rumors about a more jumbo - sized beast telephone coming to AT&T next yearcode - bring up the Nokia Ace . It ’ll be the first LTE earphone on Windows Phone , according to the rumors , and also patronise HSPA+ . Ummm . Well , theoretically , that ’s potential , I think , but between two 4ishG radios and battery - uncongenial Mango , I ’m pretty sure the phone would be dead before it wind up powering on . It ’s probably just some mental confusion about what manner of 4 G the phone really is , since Four Gees does n’t really entail much these days .
Whatever ’s announced , though , it almost by all odds wo n’t have LTE or a dual - core processor . Windows Phone division boss Andy Lees told All thing D thatMicrosoft is going to hold off until LTE is n’t such a battery hogto adopt it into WP phone , and that they ’re “ not against ” twofold - kernel chip . That was rolled into “ LTE and Dual Core chips come up to Windows Phone in the Future ! ” but the more realistic rendering is probably “ definitely not this class . ”
Though for what it ’s deserving , even though the leak specs for these phones come in well below the top - of - the - line Android handsets that have already been foretell , Andy Lees told AsiaDthat Nokia will announce a phone with “ distinguish computer hardware and software ” next week , whatever that means .
The Carriers
It ’s been a long time since Nokia ’s made a CDMA earpiece , so you might be skittish that whatever box of wonderful Nokia ’s first step in Europe next week wo n’t find its way to Verizon and Sprint . But there ’s reason to keep the faith : Back in March , Nokia told Forbesthat it would n’t be making CDMA French telephone for its waning Symbian political platform . Rather , it would await for Windows Phone . We ’re not trusted if this first wave of WP phones will be go CDMA , but if they do n’t , you could rest tell that Verizon and Sprint will be in the mix by next yr ’s wave .
The of import thing is that Nokia — CDMA hiccups apart — is toter neutral , which intend hopefully just about everyone will have a opportunity to get their mitts on the unexampled Windows Phone hotness . That is , if it ’s really that red-hot after all ; we ’ll know soon enough . There ’s a mass riding on Sea Ray and its cousins . And while I ’m certain Microsoft and Nokia will be ache if they fall flat , the people with the most at bet are the ones who want their non - iOS non - Android pipe dream to notice a felicitous , well - built home .
