Nokia is set to unveil its first Nokia Windows Phone smartphones tomorrow at Nokia World 2011. We are expecting to see at least two or possibly three Nokia Windows Phone smartphones, marking a significant milestone for the company as it ventures into the Windows Phone ecosystem.
We have already seen some leaked press shots and a teaser video of the new Nokia 800, as well as an actual photo of the Nokia 800 earlier today. Now, it appears that the first Nokia Windows Phone will be called the Nokia Lumia 800.
Design and Features
The information comes from the guys over at the Nokia Blog, who have spotted a number of photos online that have been taken with the Nokia 800. The EXIF information on the photos references the device as the Nokia Lumia 800. This new device is expected to have a similar design to the Nokia N9, which was praised for its sleek and modern look. The Lumia 800 will feature a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, providing a vibrant and responsive user experience.
One of the standout features of the Nokia Lumia 800 is that it will come with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. This operating system is known for its smooth performance and user-friendly interface, which includes features like multitasking, improved live tiles, and enhanced social media integration. The combination of Nokia’s hardware and Microsoft’s software is expected to offer a compelling alternative to other smartphones on the market.
Anticipated Specifications and Performance
While we await the official announcement, there are several rumored specifications that have generated excitement. The Lumia 800 is expected to be powered by a 1.4 GHz processor, ensuring that it can handle a variety of tasks with ease. Additionally, it is likely to come with 16GB of internal storage, providing ample space for apps, photos, and other media. The device is also expected to feature an 8-megapixel camera, which should deliver high-quality photos and videos.
Another aspect that has been generating buzz is the potential for Nokia to include its renowned navigation services on the Lumia 800. Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are highly regarded for their accuracy and ease of use, and their inclusion would be a significant advantage for the Lumia 800.
We should have more details tomorrow when it is made official by Nokia. The anticipation surrounding this launch is palpable, as it represents a new chapter for Nokia in the smartphone market. The partnership with Microsoft is seen as a strategic move to regain market share and compete with other leading smartphone manufacturers.
