Nokia 801 Belle phone leak is apparently real

It would appear that Nokia has a new smartphone up their mobile sleeve albeit being a Symbian OS handset; I thought Nokia was dumping Symbian but there you go apparently not jet yet. Anyway the new smartphone is aNokia Belle device called the Nokia 801, and an image of the device has been leaked to the net waves.
According to the guys over atSmartphone Geeks, their source (unnamed of course) says that the Nokia 801 handset will sport a 4-inch ClearBlack AMOLED touch screen along with a 12 megapixel auto-focus camera and dual LED flash, 1080p video, 1.4GHz processor, and 512MB RAM, and it is expected that the display resolution will be 640 x 360 like otherSymbian devices although they aren’t too sure on that, but apparently it has been confirmed the Nokia 801 will surface with NFC aboard.

Word is the Nokia 801 will come out to play running Nokia Belle and not have any physical buttons on its front and resemble the Nokia N9 and Nokia Lumia Windows Phone devices. The guys also say they have no idea whether the Nokia 801 is the successor to the Nokia N8, a handset that was supposedly the last Symbian handset.

Furthermore, the man frequently in the know about Nokia smartphones albeit on occasion being wrong, Eldar Murtazin has let it be known via his Twitter account that the Nokia 801 leak is in fact real.

So perhaps the Nokia 801 will be one device that we will find out all about during Mobile World Congress 2012 in a couple of weeks time.

Nokia Lumia 800 white version hands-on

It seems apt that Nokia has chosen to announced a new colour Lumia 800 this week. Europe has been blankated by snow – so what better way than to celebrate than making official the white version. White is a popular colour for a phone, and while the previous versions has always looked so darn beautiful on the Lumia 800′s Polycarbonate unibody shell, it just isn’t quite as sexy as it is in white.

Unlike its technicolour cousins, the white Lumia 800 features a glossy finish rather than matte. This means that it attracts fingerprints, and doesn’t hide scratches nearly as well as matte. Why no matte? Well Nokia’s explanation is that a glossy finish is easier to clean than a matte one – highly critical with a product of this colour. Regardless the glossy finish really compliments the snow white colour really well. While it does attract fingerprints, it isn’t as apparent as I assumed it would be.

In any case all four of the Lumia 800 features the exact same specifications, down to the 16GB storage – meaning, unlike the N9, there is no 64GB version. Still you can’t argue that the white version does looks rather sleek, and would no doubt be a popular variation. Shame there isn’t a custom white Metro tiles to go with this.

So what’s sexier than a white Lumia 800? A Dark Knight Rises Lumia 800 of course. 

With four colours to choose from, there is no better time to pick up a Lumia 800 if you are already on the market for one. In the mean time, do enjoy the gallery of the white Lumia 800 alongside its colourful cousins.
