Yeah, that's an awesome image. Apparently this new phone uses Maemo 4. lol

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

I have a source that confirms that the next Nokia N-series device will be running WinMo. Maemo6 is just a smokescreen. Nokia have been using open source hackers to provide them with a wealth of code for free that they will lock up in WinMo.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

4.13 screen...that's what I am talking about. :cool:

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

It doesnt even look like Diablo, does it? The feed reader applet, the color scheme... What is it? Chinook?

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Looks like some cheap China-Nokia?

Here's the non resize-reaped version:

could be glasser theme.

still, to me it looks like a modded iphone with a bit of flash/light reflection to mask the quality of the added maemo screenshot...

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Looks like a cheap iPhone knock-off. Most likely photoshop composite image from several sources, probably out of Nokia's control.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Let's see if this is a real thing. Probably not. Device picture is clearly photo shopped version and the other pictures are from N900 Maemo 5. Otherwise the information could be near the truth or one year ahead reality. Of course the next versions are under dvelopment

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

It's Bora, aka OS 2007! :D

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Indeed, most definitely Bora.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

You know, even though it's obviously a hoax, a 4.13" OMAP3 tablet with the Bora UI sounds awfully attractive...

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Indeed, looks like I was wrong :eek: Good choice BTW, my N800 still runs Bora :-)

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

May I ask why? For the nostalgia effect? :p

@lma

I suspect you have been taking strong drugs recently... :p

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Looks like the Optima Maemo device from China with a Nokia label thrown on, but it looks pretty nonetheless.

Oh, and btw, Hogwash, your source? Totally wrong about Windows Mobile, trust me. Not in a million years.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

close but not quite ;)

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Talk about FUD.

For one thing, why would Nokia want to develope for Windows Mobile - Microsoft seems to be doing OK on their own, why would Nokia help a defacto competitor?

For another, the code couldn't be "locked up". You would be able to request such code under license else Nokia would be sued.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Hogwash seems to had forgot the <sarcasm> tag ;)

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Oops! And I thought I had read the thread carefully before posting :eek:

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

That wasn't directed towards you... that's why I did a quick edit... was hoping I'd beat you to a reply after I re-read it ;)

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

It's a lot simpler than that. The point is you have to respond with Hogwash ! to everything he says :D

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Talk about badly implemented sarcasm detection.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

I already have OS2008 on my N810 and use it everywhere (because of the keyboard, smaller device size and usable leather sleeve) so I guess the nostalgia is part of the answer too. Other reasons are - Opera browser (speed), stylus friendly UI (no big menus) and overall device speed (OS2008 added some bloat). Also it is a good test machine for backward compatibility when testing ScummVM and other stuff. So yes the purpose is a bit special but still, when I am at home and need to put N810 on charger and pick up N800 with OS2007 I am pleasantly surprised with the difference. True that there is not much fresh software but the old setup I have there is good.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

This thread has been posted to the Harmattan forum. I reckon the Harmattan UI is not public yet but, trust me, it's not a Bora revival. :)

Can someone move this thread e.g. to the Design forum? B)

N920 and Capacitive?
 

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/n...acitive-touch/

Just saw this posted on Engadget. Looks like the Restive vs. Capacitive screen battle will ensue a little longer...

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

i'm just curious why are people presuming the next maemo device will be capacitive screen running maemo 6.
people, there will be more maemo 5 devices to come i'm sure of that, so dont hold out for the next gen as thats still a long time away

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

Article seems to have been removed...

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

lol maemo 4 diablo on the screen : FAAAAAAAKE !!!!

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

I'm pretty sure that picture says NOKLA

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

slate & keyboardless form factor with rounded back & edges.. all-black face plate with silver bezel.. capacitive screen.. No MMS..

...HMMMM...


..I wonder where have I seen this before...?

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

He's not blowing smoke, but smoking pot? :p

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Sweet mutha of jeezus....do I really need to use the sarc tag for that kinda thing? Do you want me to frickin' write it in crayola too? If you sit on my knee I'll spoonfeed it to you kids :rolleyes:

Thankfully there are still some sentient beings around here with well-honed sarc/BS detectors :D

And yes, I chose the nick "Hogwash" for self-deprecating humorous reasons ;)


PS. My source also tells me that to improve upon the bandwidth of USB OTG, the N920 will fully implement the RS232 standard.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Not since my college days....many, many moons ago ;)

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

capacititve screen would limit Maemo. Imagine running desktop Linux apps without the stylus. The stylus adds capability to run Ubuntu/Debian desktop software. That simple.

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

The pulled article from Engadget in case anyone is wondering.

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

Very true. But don't underestimate the power of customer stupidity. The subset of users who would know the difference and care would have to be larger than the subset of users who want capacitive.

Otherwise, its a sound business decision to just give the masses their capacitive, as it is a buzz word that can sell more units.

That being said, I don't think Nokia will do it because of problems with capacitive and alphabets outside of the standard western set.

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

I hope not. The resistive screen was one of the selling point for me for the n900. I dislike capacitive and the lack of accuracy that goes with it.

Re: N920 and Capacitive?
 

You can still run the software.. It just has to be redesigned for a mobile computing platform. At this point in touch interface evolution there really shouldn't be a NEED for a stylus.

Re: Nokia N920 Leak ?
 

Guys, please. This thread is not about whether or not Hogwash was sarcastic.

On a topic-related note: Engadget recently pulled it's article covering the subject for, by me, reasons unknown. Fortunately my newsreader have the article stored in its buffer, so for those who're interested in reading it, a copy of the content can be seen at http://arkenklo.net/stuff/engadget-n...20_leaked.html.
Edit: Seems that Engadget has pulled all N920-related articles. Wierd.

Otherwise, although it's very obvious this is a fake, such a device is very likely to be released by Nokia. An N900 lacking keyboard but sporting all its other awesome features is just what many want. Although I doubt that Nokia will wait to release one until Maemo 6, as is speculated in the Engadget article.
