Some new Nokia in the wild

It seems pretty unusual to get a visual on an unreleased Nokia with zero accompanying info, but it looks legit enough, so we're going with it. All we know about it is what we can deduce from the pic: funky color scheme (not bad!), external music controls, generously-sized external display (typical for Nokia), and a camera with flash. It'd be rad if this turned out to be some hip new low- to midrange S60 device, but we suspect it'll turn out to be some standard-issue Series 40 fare. We'll keep y'all updated.

You know, if you take away the color and the music controls, the rest looks like a 6133/6126

This doesn't look like a Samsung.

Rich, the most obvious difference between this Nokia and a Samsung, is that even in beta/unreleased form, it probably is less buggy than those Samsungs you claim it resembles!

Rich, I hate to break the news to you, but just because it's a flip phone with a camera, flash, and music buttons, it isn't a Samsung ripoff.

Furthermore, Samsung is probably the least original big cell phone company out there. They've copied pretty much all of Motorola's latest handsets, including the razr, slvr, and pebl.

And this new Nokia, as mentioned before, looks very much like a Nokia 6126/6131/6133.

chuck,

There's something very specific about the design of the music keys and the bevel/indentation of the LCD that reminds me specifically of a Samsung. It's not just that it's a flip phone with music keys, etc.

It does look like the 6126 et al. The difference is the proportions. It looks smaller. To me it looks more like an upgraded 6085.

That thing is ugly. The color I mean.
