Nokia Sun sporting 1.4GHz CPU, polycarbonate unibody headed to Orange in November?

File this under interesting, but it looks like Orange may be one of the first confirmed carriers to be getting a Nokia Windows Phone. The phone is the unheard of Nokia "Sun" (S46) which in this case, we're thinking is a re-brand of the Nokia Sabre or SeaRay The information comes by way of MonWindowsPhone in what appears to be an internal-Orange release list.

The phone has the following specs:

  • Windows 7.5 Phone Mango
  • Availability for week 46: 7-13 November 2011
  • 1.4Ghz Processor
  • Unibody shell polycarbonate
  • 16GB Memory
  • Photo 8Mpx
  • 3.7-inch AMOLED screen
  • Micro sim card

The one new feature appears to be confirmation of a 1.4GHz CPU, which should give the device some ample horsepower. The design, including the 3.7" screen and micro SIM card matches with what we've heard the Sabre's specs to be but could also be the SeaRay. But perhaps the most exciting news is the availability--the second week of November, just two weeks after Nokia World. It's at Nokia World where we expect the company to finally unveil its Windows Phone lineup in full detail--and of course WPCentral will be there to cover every aspect. Stay tuned...
