It looks like Nokia is ready to take on the end of 2010 with some heavy hitters in their smartphone line-up. With word that the N8 is set to launch by the end of this month, Nokia is ready to make some waves. That is, if these rumors, coming from two separate sources, turns out to be true. According to Reuters, it looks like Nokia is set to officially announce the recently leaked Nokia E7. Not only that, it looks like Nokia is set to put the device as their flagship device.
The report is citing two sources that are intimately familiar with Nokia’s plans for the future, as it comes in regards to their announcements at Nokia World 2010. The sources also confirmed that the device will have a large touchscreen, as well as a full, physical QWERTY keyboard. That sounds just like the Nokia E7 that leaked out into the world a few weeks back. However, there’s no word on what other features the device will feature.
Speculation is pretty robust at this point. There are some who believe that the E7 will be running Symbian^3, while still others believe that MeeGo could indeed find its place on this flagship device. If Nokia is indeed hoping that this will be the device to save them in the smartphone market, we imagine that it would be a great device to showcase MeeGo on. As for the physical attributes, word has it that it could feature a four-inch display, and an 8MP camera on the back with dual-LED flash. Rumors have it that the device will launch in November, after Nokia World 2010 in mid-September. And of course, keep in mind that SlashGear will be there, keeping tabs on all the announcements. So stay tuned.

Tapani Kaskinen is Nokia’s Senior Comms Manager, so it’s fitting that he’d be the first person from the company to communicate a solid release date for its long-awaited N8 handset. The gent in question told Finnish newspaper Kauppalehti that advance orders of the N8 will “begin shipping 30 September.” Bear in mind we’re chewing through a machine translation here, but that part’s pretty unmistakable. It also meshes perfectly with earlier speculation surrounding Nokia purchasing Google AdWords — that indicated a one-week exclusive starting on September 23rd for Nokia’s UK online store, which, if you do the math, again points to a wide release at the end of the month. We asked Nokia about it ourselves and they’re remaining mum on the matter, but chances are looking pretty good that October will start with the N8 finally in eager users’ hands.

The nerds over at
Mobile Geek Inc did a nifty investigative piece revealing more details about Nokia’s mid-level C6-01 candybar. After making
an awkward early appearance on Nokia’s Dutch online storefront, more pics along with the user agent profile have been located thus confirming its lack of QWERTY, 8 megapixel camera, and
Symbian^3 OS. A nice alternative to the 5 megapixel
C6-00 slider shackled to S60 5th. Look for the new C6 to get official with a very nice price either at, or around, Nokia World 2010 which kicks off September 14th in London. One more front-side pic after the break.
