Nokia 7710 Rumours and Picture
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "THE COMPETITION" @ 08:30 AM
Engadget has a fair whack of interesting info at the moment. They have just put up a picture and some rumours about Nokia's new 7710 mobile phone. The speculation is that the 7710 will be very similar to the 7700, which was never actually put into production. The pictures show that he 7710 does not have a keyboard or keypad. Remember that all this is just rumour at the moment. So, there's no word on cost or when this may actually be available:
The 7700 never made it off the ground for a variety of reasons, but it did sport a passing resemblance to a stormtrooper helmet, and have some fully rad specs: a huge 640x320 pixel touchscreen, a built-in FM tuner that worked with Nokia’s new Visual Radio service, an MP3 player, and the ability to stream video off of the web. It was also supposed to be the first handset to run on the new multimedia-centric Series 90 operating system and we’d be surprised if the 7710 didn’t share most of those traits.
