Legit looking adverts have been appearing for a new Microsoft Windows Phone entitled the Nokia 800 – but hasn’t there already been an N800? Strange, right..
The strangeness doesn’t end there – Rumour suggests that these leaked promotional graphics are for the gadget we once knew under the codename ‘Sea Ray’. The phone in question looks quite a bit like the limited release model which was retracted from UK and Europe, the MeeGo-based N9.
But, as we’ve seen in a recent official Nokia video, there were some casings which were suggested to be for the Window Phone and will resemble the MeeGo mobile in colour and style.
It looks like a collection of unused N9 parts thrown together with a curved screen, tapered edges, and a Windows Phone theme – very simplistic. We were expecting a bit more from Nokia’s first step into the Windows Phone 7.5 market. And reusing a variation of a previous name? Not so sure about that either.
I’ll call this as a naive Photoshop job, but I’ve been wrong before..
