Swisscom outs Nokia Lumia 900 for end February 2012?
We know that Nokia has more than two Windows Phone devices up their sleeves as they have given hints before that apart from the Lumia 710 and the Lumia 800, there could possibly be a Lumia 900 as well. Well either Swiss operator Swisscom does not know what they are talking about or they accidentally let it slip, but it according to them the Nokia Lumia 900 is scheduled for release by the end of February 2012.
As you can see from the conversation above, the Swisscom support staff tweeted that in response to a customer asking about the availability of the Nokia Lumia 800 and 900. Of course the staff could have been mistaken or he/she might have accidentally leaked out information regarding the Lumia 900.
Either way it’s not exactly the most concrete of information so we suggest you take this with a grain of salt for now. Not to worry though as the Nokia Lumia 900 is a device we are just as curious about, so check back with us from time to time to see if any new information on the rumored device surfaces.
Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
