Leak: Nokia 8800 Erdos luxury phone will run Symbian Nokia 8800 Erdos 460x247

According to an unofficial online report, Nokia will be updating its 8800 line of luxury phones soon. Known as the 8800 Erdos, the new phone will still feature the 8800 line’s “reverse slide” form factor, solid build, and premium materials, but adds a lot more smarts with a Symbian OS.

The report gives a pretty complete picture of what the new premium phone brings to the table, with specs that include a 5MP snapper with Carl Zeiss Optics, 8GBs of internal memory, as well as 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-fi connectivity.

The design also incorporates a “bullet-silver” (stainless steel?) body, and a glass screen that matches the mirrored chrome shell when the phone is off and becomes clear when the 2.4-inch QVGA screen lights up. If the reports hold true, the Symbian OS will also be a first for the 8800 line, officially making the Erdos a smartphone.

The Nokia 8800 Erdos is listed to be announced next month.

    I just watched the attached youtube video and I must say that I am impressed with the way nokia managed to make such a good phone. Though I have some concerns with the phone since I also have a sliding nokia 6600 slide. Since the nokia 8800 is a sliding phone and it has flex, will it get loose when time passes? Is it waterproof? Is there any improvement with the camera since it has a 5mp phone? And when is the release of this phone, I mean what quarter will it be released?

    Overall, I already liked the phone and I am hoping that nokia will soon release a testing ground for consumers to see or try the phone out and check out more of its functions.

    Great post! Hoping to read more!

    I've had the chance to try out a lot of Nokia's 8800 series since the first one. If this holds true to the design, the build quality is superb. It's a luxury phone after all.

    No, it's not waterproof, and the cam should be of higher quality than the average 2-3MP lens, thanks to the Carl Zeiss optics.
