14 DAY TRIAL // Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has confirmed a few days ago plans to launch a new handset on AT&T's airwaves in the United States during the first quarter of the ongoing year.
While no specific info on the new device was unveiled for the time being, nor a name for it provided, Nokia did say that it would be a Qt enabled Symbian smartphone.
The new device might be the previously rumored Nokia X7, which was already spotted at large with AT&T's logo on the front.
However, this does not exclude the possibility that another device would be on its way to the wireless carrier's network, one should agree.
When it comes to the specification list of this mobile phone, we should note the said Symbian OS (the new Symbian^3 platform), along with an 8-megapixel photo snapper with dual LED flash, clearly visible on its back.
The handset was also said to come with advanced gaming capabilities, one of which would be four speakers, places on each of its corners, it seems.
No other details on this mobile phone emerged, but more on its specifications and features should be unveiled in the near future, provided that it is indeed set for a Q1 release at the US wireless carrier.
According to thenokiablog, the mobile phone should sport an affordable price tag when released on the shelves of AT&T, though it would require a contract agreement.
The announcement on the upcoming availability of a new Symbian mobile phone at AT&T was made during the AT&T Developer Summit at the Nokia Technical session in Las Vegas.
Also there, Nokia said that it would extend the deadline for its $10M Calling All Innovators competition for the last day of this quarter, March 31, 2011.
Apparently, Nokia is enjoying increasing interest from the North American developers during the Qt trainings it held on the continent, and decided to offer devs more time to deliver their creations.
It remains to be seen whether the rumor on the arrival of Nokia X7 at AT&T would pan out or not, so keep an eye on this space for more info on the matter.
