Today is as great a day as any for some fabulous leaks and boy have we got a beauty here. Remember the Nokia EOS device that has been touched on numerous times in the past? We've got some images that are believed to be of the shell and innards of that very Nokia handset.
The rumor-mill has been running wild about this Lumia device, with its super-awesome-badass camera. 41MP imaging sensor seems to be a sure thing, and AT&T is reportedly releasing it very soon. Today an unnamed source has just sent something much more solid to Chinese tech site WPDang: some pictures of EOS that looks quite convincing. Let's have a go through them.
The above shot shows the alleged Nokia EOS (yellow version) ripped apart and exposing its inner-magic. The grey smartphone beside it looks to be a Lumia 920. EOS looks to share the same overall look as the current Nokia flagship Windows Phone, which isn't a bad thing.
Close-up shot by itself. The black, round item is the cover for the "camera hump". Like the Pureview 808, the camera module of EOS is going to be noticeably bulky, therefore Nokia has attempted to mask the excess mass as much as possible, while keeping the aesthetics at a high standard. I for one feel as though the round hump is better looking than the rectangular one found on the Pureview 808 though.
That's a pretty large hole. And see those two little dots near the bottom of the phone? That will be how EOS connects to Qi wireless charging cover - just like the Lumia 925. In other words, it won't have Qi support built-in.
Another side-by-side comparison with Lumia 920. If you have no trouble handling the 920 single-handed, EOS won't cause any problem.
Side view comparison. Two observations:
- The camera hump won't be as high as that found on the Pureview 808. It won't affect grip when handling the device.
- Overall, the EOS is about as thick as Lumia 920 (excluding the hump, of course).
So, what do you think? Going all out for this little monster? Or hold back and wait for the rumored bigger & more powerful "EOS V2" by the end of 2013?

Alleged photos of Nokia EOS 41MP PureView Windows Phone leaked with slight camera hump to boot
Pages
This is perfect, you each describe what you want in your dream phone GREAT! but each manufacturer can't build every single person in the Universe what they want BEEP (Reality Check) for instance i'm going to sound stupid to some of you because i'm buying a lumia 925 and waiting for a EOS with 32 or 64gb add on SDcard slot memory , i love and need the 41 mp and phone design see how different my dream specs should are Some dont want it with no WIFI, others don't want if no CARD expansion. Lets wait and see or text Nokia with our Suggestions. let's judge it when it's finally Officially Introduced we might all be Suprised..
And all the other leaked images show that hump definitely ain't "slight".
forty one megapixel phone. FORTY ONE megapixel phone! 41 glorious megapixels!!! This could be the only phone that could do a retinal scan with the right app!!! Nokia is just awesome, other people might praise other phone makers as innovative for adding an inch, changing the look of the interface or making incremental updates but those pale in comparison to what Nokia has been doing. FORTY ONE MEGAPIXELS!!!! This phone will never grow old as no other phone probably will have this in the near future.
MOAR! I want MOAR Nokia!!!
I want the 720 with LTE.
Instead of the camera bump, I'd have loved to see the back of the body move flush to the lense, then have built in Qi charging and more battery. Size and weight be damned. They can make a svelte aluminum "925" style later.
I will wait till eos v2. I beleive v2 will have 5 inches display with 1080p resolution, snapdragon 800, 2 gb ram and of course windows phone 8.1 (blue). It should be available later than introduction of windows phone 8.1. So the best timing could be around March 2014. There should be at least 6 months between predecessor and successor. So don't rise your expectatitions in a short time.
Wow, looks good. If that red line is meant to show relative thickness though they're having a laugh - its no where near parallel to the white surface which ar an angle to the orientation of the photo!
I want to motorboat two of these, like right now
+41
Hurry up at&t my moneys burning a hole in my pocket hurt hurry hurry please.
dude! WTF man?! The phone does not have a design! Each Lumia so far had a standard design, had a theme. This is just trying to put things together in a weird way. Nokia, please dont do this! I know there is a huge demand for EOS, but please make it right this time.
I will get the EOS. Did not know of a planned EOS2. How could you improve it?
I'll wait for "EOS V2". I just want a Phablet from Noki! Plus don't want to be early adopter.
No ill wait, i want it to have built in wireless changing like my 920 or its a no go for me. :/ i dont want it any thicker then it already is.
If they had made the phone housing black like normal people do, it would have helped hide the size of the camera hump. As it is, that thing better be able to see into the future or else I can't imagine anyone carrying something so ugly around with them every day.
Yeah, some people will buy these, more people buy it if it also comes as a pure digital camera using WP8, but without SIM but a microSD. Like for $100.- less.
I was hoping for a shape more reminiscent of the HTC 8X - tapered edges and more rounded back. The 8X fits so comfortably in hand that a deeper rounded back with the 41MP camera would have been amazing. I guess it's just too much stuff to cram in to such a small space to do that.
Doesn't bother me. Bring it.
When Nokia announced 41mp camera coming to WP, I already know and expect there would be a hump. This is not a supprise for most people who are waiting for it. If you don't like the hump, maybe you need to wait much longer in the future when Nokia can reduce the size of the 41mp camera module.
Nokia have been slipping on the aesthetic aspect of their Lumias. The bent up polycarbonate lens hole on the 925 looks a bit ugly and this design appears to suffer from a similar lack of finesse. I agree with other comments on this section that a rectangular bulge is more aesthetically pleasing but it is also more stable when the phone it lying on it's back and being used as it would be prone to rocking when the screen is being pressed.
I abhor exclusivity agreements
Why not also make a WP8 camera, without SIM, WiFi only. Samsung makes such devices based on Android... It would make a very good compact camera... Just with 8Gb but with a microSD slot instead of a SIM slot...
....no
He said also, not instead of. No reason we can't have both.
Development cost would be minimal and it would have a longer product life cycle.
Picture of the lens prototype on MNB...
It'll be very interesting if Samsung (Zoom) and Sony (Honami ?) will release their rumored camera phones aswell this year. We shall see who fares best...I think Nokia has the advantage since they already have the 808.
very ugly. I'll keep my yellow 920 with wireless charger built in.
Yeah....it's almost here
I think a 21MP EOS with a slightly smaller hump (or none) and a slightly smaller lens/circle would have been a great compromise. I could be wrong, but a lot of people might think "eww its so big."
21 MP Would have been a great compromise between the big camera and the omg pictures are amazing. Heh
That said, id love to be proven wrong.
Trade offs.
Thos that want it won't mind it.
from what I have heard the EOSV2 will have a higher res screen, quad core and design cues from the 925, btw these pics are real
I think all that stuff about EOS Version 1 and 2 sounds really off. Would Nokia actually release TWO niche cameraphones only about 6 months between them ? And what on earth could the V2 have more than this in case these pics are showing the V1 ? Seems really far fetched. These leaked pics look nice, but I surely hope the camera cover will be replaced with a shiny one (like in 808) in the final product.
NO! I'm actually surprised WPC would mention something like this...as rumors have yet to unfold for EOS 2. The rumor in fact started back in January. I haven't heard of anything more that comes to light since today. Even the MNB rumor was in fact wrong as they stated EOS 1 would in fact have a smaller sensor (not the full 41MP sensor) and EOS 2 would in fact be the true successor to the 808.
I've been waiting for this device for soo long...and no built in wireless charging kills it for me... May as well go pick up a 920...
I agree. Having to plug in my wife's iPhone to charge and sync it felt like picking up a chisel and stone tablet. Archaic.
ugly as hell , but for those who likes good quality photos and can't have a camera everytime/everywhere , this will be a most
I dont think this is a prototype, I think we are looking at the actual EOS. Most of the leaked images we get that look like prototypes turn out to be the device itself (928, 925). Remember the leaked image of the ugly gray 925? Most people criticized the camera hump back then too, but when it actually launched the hump was MUCH smaller than the leaked image made it out to be. Leaked images don't always showcase the device perfectly, I'm sure this will look alot better in person, or that first hands on video.
Until the phone reaches sales, it's still a prototype.
Look Look! it's a phablet......no no , it's a Camlet........
Yippee ki yay!!!
Good timing, my upgrade for cyan NL900 coming up in November. wooo hooo.....want!
Take my money...NOW!
Oh...wait...EOS v2 by EOY. Then take it at Christmas :)
Techiedude
Nokia Lumia EOS with camera hump and fantastic pictures or Samsung cameraphone with no hump and crappy pictures?
Not very difficult decision.
Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg!
Not digging how big that hump is. Totally ruins the aesthetic.
Trade off.
whats da matter @Evster88 ......you dont like da hump!
But it's HUMP day!!
This is a niche device designed for and targeted for a niche audience. Some will call it a "flagship" (another term most don't understand), but it's really not that.
Unfortunately the hateful, prejudice bloggers will scrutenize the shit out of this, and speak about how it's not this, or that (mainly because apple nor android have anything similar) or even go so far as to say the next galaxy whatever takes comparable shots.
Then they will call the device a "failure" because it doesn't sell as well as [insert their favorite device here]. All the whil ignoring the fact that this is not a device meant for everyone. It's meant for those who actually want to take the best photo's possible (possibly ever) with a phone, and are willing to accept the trade offs to do so.
At first glance I hated it, but, that's with horrible lighting and it being not completely assembled.
Pondering that for a second, I realize that if you have one of these pointed at you, it will look like a micro 4/3 camera lens/mount. The camera bump already looks like it needs a lens mounted onto it.
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/NEX5/ZNEX5WVCLECF1.JPG
Maybe not the best design choice, but it is certainly unique, and draws attention to the fact that the phone's camera, which will likely be amazing. Also, I'm glad that the 920 (a la N9) design isn't dead, and seems relatively unchanged. Also, YELLOW! Glad that hasn't been killed off too.
That circle is super ugly
Fake
News just came in .....samsung says to Nokia " you dare to make a 41 mp phone? we will make a 41 inch samsung galaxy mega" ....big foot tweets that it was waiting for this ......Apple says to Nokia" you dare to make a 41 mp phone? we will now make iphone 41 ....41 meaning we will transform the 4 inch retina display to 4.1 inch retina display!" 100 apple fanboys reported to have died of massive heart attack out of sheer exitement. HTC says to nokia " you dare to make a 41 mp phone.......ps continue as we get ready to file for bankrupcy......HTC one was the last one ! "
windows phone fans say nokia you are amazing and ps take my money !
+920
I'm waiting for a 1080p AMOLED Lumia with Pureview. I'm guessing that's what EOS v2 is. If so that's what I'll get!
The version 2 of this EOS would probably be a 925-like body shell but instead of that plasticky policarbonated back cover, my guess it'll be all metal?.. would be awesome to see that...
I dont understand their strategy. Why release another flagship now when you've got another coming at the end of the year? It's never ending
My next Lumia....
Here's a possibility: Nokia is shying away from the carrier exclusive strategy, giving preferred carriers first crack at each "technology" and shortening the window to 3 months.
Thus the EOS would drop on AT&T on, say, July 15 and then the EOS v2 would drop on Verizon/T-Mo on October 15.
I think this would make good sense for all parties.
But the V2, whatever they call it, is supposed to come with updated hardware specs whereas this phone is supposed to share the same specs as the 920.
It's not a new flagship. Plain and simple. Nokia had it's own camera focused line with Symbian and it's likely they'll do that again. Having a variant of their top of the line series that has those cameras because those cameras will always require a tradeoff.
Everytime I look at this phone I picture using it underwater lol
I'm getting NL 925. wish it came in cyan
likewise... but in RED!
CYAN? Do you want your next phone to cost $10000?
Wish they would've went with the 925's shape just to change it up a lil. And why release basically the 920 over again and only improve on the camera. Should wait until 8.1 is ready so u can at least put 1080
If you want the greatest smartphone camera then you buy it. But if you don't need that level or performance then don't criticise the design. It is still a lot smaller than an slr or compact camera. I used to own a polaroid camera and they were huge :)
To those complaining about the wireless charging: I have a suspicion Nokia will bundle the wireless cover with the phone the way they did the charging plate for the 920
Nope, I want to pick my own cover. Thin would be nice. And for that matter its 2013, where's my flying car already?
It'd be great seeing in Lumia what they've got in Symbian since 2012
Its ugly as fuck get skinnier not thicker dick heads Samsung has 13megapix and as skinny as a pancake nobody wants bulky phone don't listen to fan boys people want light wait skinny big screen phones (htc1,sg4) not fat and bulky phones wtf if this comes out bigger and heavier than my 920 I'm switching to the new Samsung Windows Phone 8 whenever it comes I do not want a brick in my pocket.
You don't know what you are talking about. An SLR with 6 megapixels will kill any Samsung camera phone regardless of megapixel count. You need a big sensor and good optics to take good clean sharp photos. A sensor the size of the fingernail on your little finger can't match the pureview. If you don't like the phone don't get it. Geez.
A phone don't need 41 megapixel if it had 20mp it would be better than a gs4 we have 8.7mp and its better than gs4 13mp so why do we need to jump from 8.7mp to 41mp. 808 is not a smartphone that's why it can be that big idk about Europe but if that's bigger than 920 in America will buy it
The Eos is a camera focused variant of the 920 as far as I can tell. The next regular high end device will hit in fall with GDR3 which allows for 1080p displays and quadcore processors. This simply isn't for everyone but for people who really want a great camera (and 13 Mpx or not - the SGS4 does not have a great camera - merely a good one).
Are they going to launch a new flagship in september as always?I'm not buying anything now because I dont know what are they going to do in september...
The camera in my 920 is very good. I'd rather keep wireless charging than get a better camera if the rest of the spec's are the same. The hump is no big deal to me; I want all the hardware bells and whistles.
Come on Nokia, give us the camera with Qi, memory expansion and RED!!! I'd buy that in a second.
RED? Do you want your next phone to cost $10000?
I actually think the 16 lense point camera will be the next thing.
Id like to see specs. Memory card slot is surely a must. . Think id rather have rectangular cam lense to fit in with the design of the phone. But i can over look that. . Specs need to be updated from my lumia 920. . . I've a few hundred slipped under my mattress, so plz nokia. Make it worth my while.
I think that the end product will look a lot better. I mean - this is obviously a test device / prototype. They removed the camera, to prevent an information leak and replaced it with a plastic cap. The holes for the lens, LED and Xenon flash are pretty clear though.
The device looks a litte bit slimmer, but its a bummer, that wireless charging is not inclided (those 2 dots look a lot like charging cover connectors to me). Also it seems to me, that the endges around the screen glass are somewhat narrower, so the screen is slightly bigger?
It looks cool and all, but it better have a killer camera app/software to go with it and take advantage of the camera if so Take my money.
Can Samsung or HTC copy this? I really hope those two can't copy this. They're already doing candy colored version of their high end phones and also wireless charging. I hate to see this on galaxy phones. I really wish this technology can only be done on lumias
I hope it's not just yellow. But anyway,what would be the difference with the EOS V2?? Would that be after Microsoft's next OS updates??
Aaaaahhhhh :) this is my upgrade from the 920! That glorious yellow!
Everyone, whats with the " I'll wait for the V2" ? The V2 is simply a rumour of a dream... Although it would be nice if the leaked EOS V1 could shrink and become this o' so rumoured V2. As far as i know there is NO solid evidence of there ever being a V2 in the pipelines. And whats gonna happen when the V2 is finally released, ya'll will be like "Yeah, the V2 is nice but i'm gonna wait for the V3" and so on and so on and so on :-) #chasinthenokiadream
I think I'm going to hold out until the next big OS update. Microsoft said they'll only support a phone for so long. I forgot how long.
I believe Microsoft said they would only support Windows Phone 8 for so long just as they only support other products for a finite amount of time. They also said that Windows Phone 8 devices would be able to run Windows Phone 9 so we won't be stuck like those on Windows Phone 7.
Minimum of 18 months.
Don't like the hump sleek is the future
Yes but sleek means no large sensor
Slim phone and slr in your pocket or slightly larger phone and no slr. Which is smaller? This phone is a niche product for people who love photography. Not for Facebook, twitter morons.
What ever happened to "It's not the 8MP, it's the Ziess that counts!"
I don't think Nokia has lost it's commitment to wireless charging, I think that this their contingency plan due to the current Betamax vs VHS style war between Qi and A4WP. If A4WP eventually wins out then your phone won't become obsolete, they'll just put out another charging cover. I think this is all temporary until the standard is settled.
There's another rumored version of the EOS? these carriers have to loosen up on these contracts.
What is this EOS v2 you are speaking of?
I wonder how soon this will be hitting because I was planning on buying a 920 on contract next week when my contract runs up.
This looks awesome, though whether I get it will depend on how much it costs subsidy free since I am mid contract from my Nokia 920. If it is $450 like the 920 was then it shall be mine. If its more then $500 then I'll wait.
EOS or EOSv2 hmmm. Canada just got a new wireless code of conduct which means we finally will get 2 year contracts on December 2 of this year so I might just wait.
i'd get it if it were smaller
Very interesting. I personally also want 1080P screen and Quad core processor. one can dream.
But why do you need 1080p on a 4.5 inch screen?? You won't notice the difference on a screen that size compared to 720p. It's pointless and more battery drain. As for Quad Core well WP doesn't need it
I was really hoping for exchangeable shells on the next Lumia flagship. Oh well. I think I'll be sticking with my yellow 920.
Never been happier with my 920 purchase. All this time and it still feels new, beats any other phone with that camera. This EOS 920 clone with a hump sure has a 41mpx camera but the form factor screams "Camera with a phone feature". The camera on the 920 does more than enough already for a mobile camera :)
The worst thing with humped phones is when you put them on a flat surface and they start rocking. :-/
Wait, there is a EOS v2 too now?
Of course there is. Just like there was a 920 that came after 900. Nokias phones just keep getting better :)
Nice :)
(PS: I just bought my Lumia920 two days ago, LOL)
Nevertheless, I'm still hoping for a 4.3"(max.) 808 like camera Phone, anything above 4.3" is just too big for me.
Still excited, though ;-)
Hardly a hump, and you get better photos. It's no argument at all, I am getting this. I will just look at the hump like a little boob that I can have fun with :)
Albeit a rather flat boob. Looking at that, the world just feels a little bit sadder...
LOL
T-Mobile should get this in 2015.
What details do we have about an EOS 2? I haven't heard of it until today.
Thanks. I am not interested in a bigger phone, so I guess EOS will be it.
AWSOME
if they put this big sensor in the middle of a phablet it could be flush and taper out from there. this looks like ass, just like it did on the 808.
Well I'm an ass guy
Best reply of the thread! I wish I could upvote this one!
I like the idea of this in the largest phablet that WP8 will allow, with a super high-res screen, full-res default photo viewer (unlike current Lumia) and some new advanced photo/video editing suite.
My inital thoughts: Hump is definitely protruding unlike the comment claiming it doesn't. A bit of a turn off esthetically actually. Looks way too similar to the 920. Specs are too similar (aside the camera) to the current 92x models as well. This is looking to be no more than the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 4. Also the source link claims EOS will be a V.1 not carrying 41MP due to processor limitations until GDR3 is released. In my opion Nokia should just tease the camera hardware until they can go all the way with this rather than an incremental upgrade to the 92x model.
You're right. This seems like the 4s of the 920. I'd get it because I flirt with big specs but I don't legitimately be available for an upgrade until October or November. So I think ill wait until the big windows phone update that allows for higher specced devices and the next thing after this (also: I love the design of the 925 and hope what cones this fall is as svelte)
Of course it is. WP8 came out 6-7 months ago, this is not a major release of new phones at the yearly bump of the OS, this is still within the same generation. Holiday season is when WP8.x will release and newer hardware specs will jump out around that time.
Its early days id wait until the final result before slagging it off its promising though
One would hope that by V2 their top end device will be all metal, not plastic too!
I hope not. Prefer polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate is much better!
Oh, and they'd better get off their duffs ny then and squeeze in a mSD slot for all that data!
EW. No. No matter how awesome the camera, then again, I'll probably buy it.
So, no wireless charging but as thick as the L920, larger than the L920 (which willl be great to handle with one hand. Not.) plus that huge, ugly camera whole?
Dear Lord, no. I'm definitely not interested in this.
And I completely disagree that they kept esthetics at a high standard. Actually, judging by these later variations of the L920, I'd say they're sending the esthetics high standards down the drain.
(and yes, this is a negative comment because these images leave a negative impression on me. Deal with it and stfu.)
+1
Ugly camera hole? You do realize that it will be filled with a lens, right? This is a prototype, of course aesthetically it will not be on par with 920.
I meant "whole" in the sense that it will create a huge circular black space, disrupting the design of the phone. Whole seems a good word, even though its not actually a whole.
These are called trade off's. If you don't like it... well I don't think anybody is forcing you to buy it.
Many killed the iPhone 4's looks based on early leaks, and it ended up being one of the most iconic designs in mobile history.
The GS3 was destroyed in comments based on leaked images, and then most admitted that it looked substantially better in person.
The 925 was absolutely eviscerated in violent threads across the internet based on the grainy leaks, and yet it was roundly praised for its good looks upon official reveal.
Moral of the story: Don't jump to conclusions re: aesthetics of a device based on leaked images.
Well...you may have a point regarding iPhone 4 and GS3, but the images leaked of the L925 were pretty much what ended up released. And I still don't like it. I haven't grabbed one with my hands but since we're talking about looks, my grandmother uses to say "you see with your eyes, not with your hands". I've seen plenty of the L925 and I still don't like it.
As for this EOS, I would really like you to be right, that this is definitely only a prototype and the phone won't look like that. Except we already saw the prototype images almost a year ago. But those were just images. These are pictures of the actual unassembled device. And I very much doubt that they'll change the design at this stage (specially if they're really going to announce this in the Summer and not only in September/October).
I guess we'll just have to disagree re: the 925.
I don't feel like I saw many, if any, complaints about the looks after the official unveiling.
Oh I did. Nevertheless we're talking EOS here. And new photos just surfaced...which unfortunately confirmed my opinion and fears regarding the design. :/
I'm still for 920 / 925
Wtf..some of these posts are ridiculous. The point of this phone IS the camera. If you don't want the hump or need wireless charging built in, buy a 9 series.
You see the same thing I see. This site really needs to be renamed to Whiners Phone Central.....
I have come to really hate reading comments on here as of late
Ditto. A lot of closed minded folks on here.
sorry mate - it comes with the wireless feature just is not able to use it without a shell. thats for that price pure fail. argumenting with wireless charging and just supporting it out of the box in one model is fail as well
Share my pain, dude. But I somehow got called a "troll" for calling out all the cry babies. .
I get the impression that a lot of the people complaining about the looks of a phone want to use their phone to impress people/girls. They really need to find other ways to get more self confidence.
The amount of people not able to even read the whole articles is disturbingly high..
Just ordered new outter shell for a color chage to my L920 to get me by until this is released and I have the cash to buy outright. Excited!
EOS v2 for me. I can't imagine giving up on wireless charging, or having a phone substantially bigger than my 920.
Plus, it does seem to take Nokia between 6 to 12 months post-sale to get a new camera working to its potential, via software updates. That means this little gem won't be living up to its hype until ~the release date of the V2, which ones hopes will be smaller and have integrated wireless charging.
Go Nokia!
But here's the thing...v2 is not a solid rumor....IN FACT v2 went with a little rumor over on MNB stating that v1 would have a smaller sensor than the 808...back in January. -nothing new has come up with a version two rumor, yet. -And yet all we've been hearing about is this phone the last 6 months.
I'm not holding my breath for a v2...phablet with a 41MP sensor. It would be too expensive for the consumer and Nokia to do this. ---And I swear...Cyber_Angel777 better not reply to me because I said this.
no sight of microSD slot = fail device
Terrible logic.
If you look at the first photo, it looks like there are two slots next to the headphone jack I would guess one is sim the other could be msd. I would say musb for the second one except it wouldn't be set back... There is a cover on the sim slot for the 920 that acts as sim tray, perhaps the tray will cover the msd card slot as well, I cant see the power jack so I am not sure....
I hope you are right and Nokia suprises us with including microSD slot.
I noticed that extra slot too. It can't be too many other things. :)
Hoping very much that a microSD slot will be there.
So is anyone else wondering about how large the photos are going to be as in MB. With the limited amount of space that these lumia devices have been released with I can see this possibly becoming an issue for some. Also the SkyDrive integration with Data syncing through carrier will rack up fast. Hope it comes with WIFI syncing enabled out of the box for SkyDrive as someone might get a surprise on their bill once they go Pic happy! Not bashing this phone at all and I love Lumia phones.... rocking the Lumia 928 right now and I love it!
On my 808, the photos are somewhere between 8MB and 12MB. I've done SkyDrive sync of my photos and it's a bit slow. I'm back to using Flickr since it's unlimited for me (1TB for free accounts).
I'm sure the WiFi sync will be similar if not the same as it is today, which is set what quality of photos you want to sync. Not so hard to figure out.
Bring v2 to Verizon, pretty please
personally i'd have preffered the camera hump to be more like the one on the 808. I like the idea of the hump being more in keeping with the overall shape of the phone, so a square-er one would have tickled my fancy more than this does.
i mean if u have a Lumia 920 u might as well just hold for EOSV2 if there is one
I hope the hardware will be better than the 920, like 1080p, quad core and 2G of ram to really appeal android user that are always looking for performance (which is understandable for android but not really relevant for wp8)
If they are looking at that, then they aren't looking for performance. They are looking for specs. I have still not run into an android user that can show their device performs better.
I think you'll have to wait for the EOSv2 if that's what you're looking for.
Since Daniel mentioned that it would be "bigger," but has also said that Nokia wont do a phablet, I'm assuming that it will be a 5" 1080p device. It's likely being held off until winter because that's when GDR3 (w/ support for 1080p) will be released.
the eos v2 might have that new camera array so yea Id have to get that one as well
Thank you for clarifying :)
Not getting if it doesn't come with a memory slot

Your loss.
It would have liked it to be a bit thinner than the 920 (besides the camera hump of course).
Trade off.
Trade on?
I hope that consumers start to buy windows phones because they are becoming the smart phone for people that want to take the best photos and share them lightning fast.
Still on contract for another year and a half...any rumors about a Lumia 945... in 2014? :-O
I will wait for the EOS2 because you will still want it even if you purchase the upcoming EOS phone...just the way it is !!!!
And the EOS2 buyers will want the EOS3..... You can't never win playing the waiting game. Something better always comes out down the road.
whos CHASSIT the monkey? and this device doesnt look good :S
Ook ook ook ook ook ook, ook ook. Ook? Eeek!
Lol...smh too!
Banana!?
So I might have to say goodbye to T-Mobile, Lumia 925, and a reasonable bill and jump ship. This seems legit and I want one! Dang you Nokia for making life harder than it has to be.lol
No I'm kidding. Still getting the 925. Getting a Canon EOS Rebel T3 later this year and that'll be all I need as far as cameras go and the 925 will take care of all other situations when a professional quality picture isn't needed.
Good. I just moved from AT&T to T-Mobile precicely because of the bill. I don't care what phone comes to AT&T, I'm not going back to paying those bull sh** rates.
They are both aesthetic and well designed.... The aluminum 925 will likely wow apple and android users more than this one anyway.
Yeah it will but with the expected image quality I'm not sure people won't be willing to deal with the camera hump for it. My main thing is availability. I'm pretty sure state wide this will be yet another AT&T exclusive once again limiting potential consumers. I'm not switching to AT&T. I know they said it will be available in other countries as well but I'm not paying the jacked up price to get the phone elsewhere. So 925 it is for me. The form factor seems perfect and it's just sexy. Can't wait.
Or get the Rogers version which should work great on Tmo. Either way you gotta buy the phone at full retail. That's what I did. I bought a 920 and it works great.
I may wait until they make one with wireless charging
I'll end up with it next year when Verizon gets it.
Same here. Keeping my available upgrade at the ready for when we eventually get a version of it.
Guess it depends on available colors. Though, would there be another release of devices later this year? I mean, my 920 takes great shots and I don't use the camera all that much also. Sitting on an upgrade will be tough.
Circular!!
So why two contacts instead of three?
And where's the flash?
The flash is in that black circle.
Look at the black circle: you can see a round hole for the lens, and a narrow one for what,seems to be a xenon Flash.
there'll be a xenon flash beside the circle in the middle, its that pill shaped slit above it
Right, but the actual flashlamp and/or led is missing. Odd.
its the smaller hole. cmon its not that hard to find,
Its right there the picture, there are 3 holes on the black plate. Turn up the brightness on your screen.
