Nokia Confirms 808 PureView 41MP CameraPhone USA Launch Tomorrow; Could it be a Windows Phone Version?!

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 04:32 AM PDT


As I’m sure you know already, Nokia has scheduled an event tomorrow, involving the debut of the 808 PureView 41 megapixel cameraphone. They confirmed that on Facebook on Nokia’s US account. Well, it appears that Microsoft also has an event of its own scheduled for tomorrow, that some people say it’s related to the debut of a Windows 8 Nokia tablet. Well, could it be that the Nokia and MS event are joint into one and we’ll see a Windows Phone Pureview phone?!

It’s all too strange and the coincidence is too big… Also, there’s a Verizon FiOS event tomorrow as well and for what do you think people will need 300 Mbps connections for? For uploading those huge PureView pictures, so it may be tied in as well. It’s nice to see Nokia teasing people about launches, after a period when they were out of the public eye. Rumors say that they would be bought by Samsung or Microsoft and some people still think that MS will announce that tomorrow.

I guess that we’ll have to wait and see, but I must say that a Windows Phone unit with Pureview camera would be great and know Nokia’s strategy, I say that they could pull a US launch first, like with the Lumia 900 model. Can you imagine a Nokia Lumia PureView model?

Motorola Mystery QWERTY Slider on Sprint May be a New Milestone

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 12:55 AM PDT


Here we are with a new picture of what looks like a Motorola slider phone, on Sprint. It appears that Moto and Sprint are doing tests together for this sliding smartphone and the pic comes from user Va1ha11a in the Android Central Rumored Devices forum. Apparently, the phone is a test device, not the final unit.

When I saw this Android 4.0-based unit, the first thing that crossed my mind was that it’s a Motorola Milestone unit, a next gen one. If I’m not mistaking we’ve stopped at Milestone 3, with a Milestone 4 rumored for unveiling at MWC 2012. Since Moto’s presence at MWC was feeble, that didn’t happen. This model supposedly comes with a qHD display and you can see that it has the Sprint Music app in the drawer. One can also assume that this is a LTE phone and I can’t help but wonder if this is that Intel CPU-based device, that Motorola has been bragging about for a while now.

Intel and Moto announced a multi year agreement in January and they should deliver something now at mid-year. Aside from the sliding keyboard, this is a buttonless affair, with 3 virtual buttons for browsing and such, like Google usually recommends for Android 4.0. So, Milestone 4 or not?
