Is nokian910.com an official site?
 
I just stumbled on nokian910.com.

Inside the HTML of that page is a META tag with this description for search engine indexers: "Nokia N910 running Maemo 6 with a high performance 900mhz processor, 8MP Carl Zeiss camera and 48GB storage. Coming 2010"

However, I can't seem to find any information about this device elsewhere. Also, the WHOIS lookup shows that the site is registered through godaddy.com, and the contact email is a hotmail address. Is this page a fake?

I would say: YES.

The specs may not be that far off though.

Doesn't really sound like an official Nokia representative...

A Google search with that email address pulls up this:

The only known OMAP3 SOC that can hit 900 MHz is the top-of-the-line OMAP3640. I don't know how far in advance TI announces their chips, but it seems rather late for a device coming out next year.

Tech rumors are so much harder to put over on the Maemo crowd. Before you know it, they've looked up your domain registration, googled you, and hacked your system. :P

Re: N910
 
If the next Nokia device is coming out next year that means it's been in planning and production for a while now. Companies don't whip out products randomly, they pretty much start working on them as soon as they finish the previous one. Which is why you'll never find the latest and greatest hardware inside devices.

I'm with Flandry, and the others. I think it's a fake.

Re: N910
 
its just someone getting in on the domain early hoping to make a site if the n910 does get released or to make a quick profit and sell it on when it does.
be interesting to see if its same person who owns nokian900.com
