A new promo video has turned up today that shows off a different smartphone that has not been announced yet. The phone in the video is thought to be the Nokia N900 otherwise known as the Ace. It appears to have a lot of Nokia 700 DNA in the design with the addition of a speaker grill on the bottom of the phone.

This is an official Nokia video apparently so it is a bit odd to see the firm teasing with an unreleased smartphone. In shots with the screen activated and the control buttons on it is clear this is a Windows Phone. That is no surprise given the tie up with Nokia and Microsoft for Mango devices.
Unfortuantly, The video just went private, which suggests that what we saw most probably was the real deal.
Nokia Champagne was leaked earlier today. It was said to run Windows Phone Tango the next iteration of Windows phone OS. Thanks to Scott we managed to get some details about the device. It is now confirmed that Nokia Champagne runs OS version 7.10.8711 which is a build of Tango as confirmed by imWP7 app screenshot.
As you may have already noticed, the phone was being tested on AT&T network. According to thelatest rumors Nokia is reportedly going to launch Lumia 800 in US on ATT 4G network in 2012.

Yesterday, Nokia announced their first two smartphones running Microsoft Windows Phone operating system, the Lumia 710 andthe Lumia 800. They are gorgeous, and they are both fairly affordable and both phnoes run the Windows pone 7.5 Mango with nokia customization, but will Nokia WP7's devices will be the same always. Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President of Markets for Nokia, said the following in an interview:
"When you look within the Windows Phone ecosystem and compare how the Lumia performs, there we have a contractual agreement with Microsoft for a certain amount of engineering which we can use for differentiation. However, we have to be very careful on how we use that one because we cannot fragment the developer ecosystem. If that starts forking, that’s not useful at all. We made the decision to go to Windows Phone when Mango was pretty much done, so we were able to impact some elements of it but you’ll really see the fruits of what we can do with Microsoft when the Apollo version of Windows Phone comes out."

Nokia UK and Clove has started pre-order for the Nokia Windows Phone-based device the Lumia 800. Will be dilvered by late November.
You can pre-order a Lumia 800 from Nokia UK official website but they are not selling it directly, but instead redirect to The Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U. If you are OK with signing a contract, the phone will be yours for free with a two-year contract with Vodafone, Orange, and Three. Clove also offers the Lumia 800 on pre-order, but it is the unlocked SIM-free version. The price is £440 including VAT, but it could change upon release.

Nokia has just announced the Lumia 800 and 710 Windows Phone-based smartphones. As usual, Nokia has prepared extensive marketing materials on their new devices and video will obviously be an important part of the Lumia advertising campaign.
Videos Below!

Nokia decided to open the WP7 show with the Nokia Lumia 800 the company first Windows Phone 7 phone and shortly after announced the Nokia 710, too.
Nokia Lumia 800

Lets start off with the Nokia Lumia 800. Powered by a Snapdragon chipset with a single-core Scorpion CPU and 512MB of RAM, the Nokia Lumia 800 runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. It offers 16GB of built-in storage and if thats not enough, Microsoft will also give you 25GB of free cloud storage.

The display of the Lumia 800 is a 3.7" ClearBack AMOLED, which is a bit smaller than the Nokia N9's, on which its based on because of the three capacitive Windows Phone buttons at the bottom. And just like the N9, this Windows Phone 7 smartphone will operate on a micro-SIM card.
The camera of the Lumia 800 is an 8MP f/2.2 camera with Carl Zeiss optics with auto-focus and dual LED flash. The Lumia 800 comes in three different colors to match your preferences Blue, Magenta and Black.
Nokia Lumia 710
Moving on with the Lumia 710, the next Windows Phone device that saw its announcement at Nokia World today.
The Lumia 710 features the same 1.4GHz single-core processor and same ammount of RAM as the Lumia 800. It features the same-sized 3.7" WVGA display with a ClearBlack tehcnology, but unlike the Lumia 800, it's a TFT one, not AMOLED.
The camera of the Lumia 710 is a 5MP auto-focus one with a single LED flash. As connectivity goes, this WP7 smartphone offers Wi-Fi 801.2 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1. A-GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro-USB connector round-off the package.

We are less than 24 hours away from the official announcement of the Nokia 800 Sun (or Lumia if you will), so what could be better than a few leaked photos to warm things up. That's exactly what we got as a couple of live shots of the pink version of the WP Mango-running smartphone surfaced.

Obviously, the Nokia 800 Sun will not only borrow the design of the Nokia N9, but the color versions too. Just like its sibling, the Sun will come in black, blue and pink and it should also feature the same non-painted color polycarbonate unibody, which handles scratches greatly.
The only design differences between the Nokia Windows Phone and MeeGo flagships remain the shutter key and the three capacitive touch buttons on the front that the Nokia 800 has.

With barely three days left until Nokia World kicks off in London, a series of one second long teasers has hit the TV channels in the UK, showcasing some of the design highlights in the upcoming Nokia 800.
The teasers are very much in line with the previously leaked, disco/metro UI themed promo images of the Windows Phone running smartphone. You can see them put together in a single video clip below.
Video Below!

After couple of leaks now its time for Nokia Sabre first live photo to surface. Its just a week before it gets officially announced at the Nokia World event in London and it looks the part as far as we are concerned.
Unfortunately, this photo does not reveal much of Sabre hardware and according to our tipster, the Windows Phone 7 specific buttons are below the screen, but are not really visible because of the camera flash of the N9 which took the photo.
We already revealed some of this Mango-running Sabre specs and our tipster confirms them. The Nokia Sabre will indeed pack a 1.4GHz processor bundled with 1GB of RAM. At the front, the Sabre features a 3.5-inch LCD display, while at the back a 5MP camera will take care of taking photos and shooting video.
