Symbian^3 Nokia E6-00 leaks - a QWERTY bar with a VGA screen?




A leaked Nokia XML and a Picasa album confirmed the existence of a new Nokia smartphone. Nokia E6-00 is a Symbian^3 device with an 8 megapixel dual-LED assisted camera, that will surprisingly pack a VGA display.
All Symbian^3 devices so far have come with the nHD resolution (640 x 360 pixels), which is slightly lower than VGA (640 x 480 pixels). The OS limitation were quoted as the reason behind this, but maybe Nokia is about to find a way around it.
The other known Nokia E6-00 specs include 3G with HSDPA, Wi-Fi and stereo speakers. Rumor has it that the handset will come in the traditional bar form factor and will pack a QWERTY keyboard, but right now we are unable to confirm either of those.
That shot on the left is just a quick mockup so don't take it too seriously. We still don't know how the device will look. The Picasa account that confirmed the existence of the phone, only hosted some camera samples with the EXIF listing the new Nokia handset as the camera. Currently, all pictures from the account have been removed but some of those have been copied here.
An announcement at the MWC next month seems likely, so we guess we'll find out pretty soon.
