Nokia roadmap accidentally made public
Nokia is, just like a lot of the other brands, never happy when information gets known accidentally. Likely, they will not be happy at all with this new information. Information of all devices for the next periode has leaked out!
The guys of Engadget were the one to find the sensitive information. Than again, they cannot be 100% sure about the reliability of the information that got known, because in an early phase like this they can probably do something else. Nevertheless, the information is very interesting.
Codename | Remarks | Prototype in |
Athlon | Follower N85, Quadband 3.5G, 5Mpixel + xenon, GPS, WiFi | Week 40 2008 |
IP08 | Broad image touchscreen, scrollwheel, Qwerty, 5Mpixel, WiFi | Week 46 2008 |
Shakira | Candybar, WiFi | Week 46 2008 |
Stella | Follower E51, A-GPS, 3Mpixel, WiFi | Week 48 2008 |
Terra | Comparable with Stella, hybrid Qwerty | Week 48 2008 |
Gwen | Candybar, A-GPS, 5Mpixel | Week 51 2008 |
Ivalo | Follower IP08, 3.5" touchscreen, 32GB, 5Mpixel, WiFi | Week 52 2008 |
Corolla | 3" non touchscreen VGA resolution, 3.5G, 8Mpixel, Half-Qwerty | Week 11 2009 |
Madeleine | Side-sliding Qwerty, WiFi, 3.2Mpixel, N-serie | Week 13 2009 |
Eitri | Candybar, Qwerty, 3.5" 640x350 px pressure sensitive touchscreen, recharge through USB, 5Mpixel | Week 17 2009 |
The document also names "Mobile Office 09" (presumably a new E series model) and about "Victoria" and "Vector". There is not yet any information known about the last two.
First 8 Megapixel
The striking thing is, is that we will probably still have to wait some time for the first 8 megapixel device of Nokia, the "Carolla". Strange, since the competition is already offering similar cameraphones. Nokia is seemingly using 5 megapixel cameras in their future phones.
BlackBerry Bold competitor
In addition, especially the "Eitri" is interesting thanks to its Bold-like touchscreen. According to the information it will be pressure sensitive, what basically means that the buttons you see are real buttons when you press them. At last it will also be possible to charge the device throught the USB port from this model.
