Mystery Nokia Phone Shows up at Patent Trade Office (US)

[andrelamont]

This one has been granted to Nokia on 11th September 2012, which makes it a fit candidate for our high-end Lumia 920 variant speculations. It looks sleek and appealing unibody design somewhat on the lines of Lumia 920′s patented design, but yet strikingly different.

hmmmm

I kind of like it. I hope it is something for Verizon as our sad friends on team Red need a boost.

Surface phone.

This phone seems a little tall.

 

[nzrocketman]

it looks better than L920 to me

This phone seems a little tall.

I actually like that. While people are laughing at iPhone being tall, it to me makes much more ergonomic sense than making the phone wider.
Nokia used to do this with N9 and likes by not having any hw buttons (or the Android likes bottom software buttons) and making it most of all tall.

Anyone remember this:

Let's keep in mind that this doesn't mean the phone will actually get made and mass produced.

 

[mlm1950]

Anyone remember this:

Looks just like it, from the front.

I'm in for a phone with minimal bezel space.

 

[tissotti]

Anyone remember this:

Though that was concept made by 3rd party with no relation to Nokia.

But yes it does look like it.

 

[gsquared]

Everything starts as a concept.

in the comments on the WMPoweruser site, someone indicates that it looks like a Symbian phone, with a link to a phone that looks very much like the drawings.

 

[Simon Tupper]

It's not a Surface phone... in fact I wish the design was more original... You still see the N9 influence...

 

[tissotti]

Everything starts as a concept.

Of course, but that's inside Nokia. You can see great looking concepts made by random people that are branded Nokia every week.

in the comments on the WMPoweruser site, someone indicates that it looks like a Symbian phone, with a link to a phone that looks very much like the drawings.

Yes you are right actually, that's a bit older Symbian phone called 801t. Was only made for Chinese market.

 

[mlm1950]

Wouldn't they have already patented a phone that had been previously released?

 

[ironsoulreaver]

whatever it is, If it's a WP8 device that is on it's way then it looks like it would take on the 720P resolution instead of the 768 or the 480 resolution.

 

[Mr. MacPhisto]

Could be the quad-core heading to VZW I've heard about. Target date on that is February/March.

Sorry guys:
