Nokia 710 spotted over at Nokia Developer

My Nokia Blog reports that a Nokia 710 was spotted over at Nokia Developer earlier today. The phone sports specifications which are very similar to those suggested for Mango devices. Interestingly the OS is named as Maemo Internet Tablet 2008 but that is obviously meant to cover up the presence of Windows Phone 7 on the hardware.

Specifications include :

• 1.4GHz Cortex A8
• 3.7″, 800×480  Clear Black TFT

• 28mm wide angle  5MP camera
• 720p, 30FPS
• 8GB Internal memory
• 512mb RAM
• Browser BL-5B 3.7V 820mAh (820mAh) – 400 hours standby (more than iPhone 4S), 5H 3G browsing, 7H GSM talk time. MicroSIM.

Some possible discrepancies in there as WP7 devices have inherently run on Qualcomm chipsets. With Nokia World right around the corner , we should be hearing more about the same.

WP Nokia 800 Sun official photos surface, N9 meets its long-lost twin

Just over two weeks before Nokia World kicks off and the Finnish company unveils its first WP smartphones, we got official photos of one of them. Promo materials of Nokia 800, which was previously rumored as Lumia just popped up, confirming that it will be one of the Nokia smartphones to appear at the event.

As you can see, the Nokia 800 body is almost identical to that of the Nokia N9.

The new leak nicely aligns with previous rumors, so there's every reason to believe that its real. The ads suggest that this will be the Nokia Sun, which as we previously heard will be the marketing name of the Nokia Sea Ray. And, if your memory serves you well, you'd know that the Sea Ray was supposed to be an N9-lookalike.

Specs-wise the Nokia Sun will reportedly offer a 3.7" WVGA AMOLED, Windows Phone Mango, a 1.4GHz CPU and 16GB of onboard storage. The smartphone should hit the shelves in the first half of November.

Is this enough to convince you to switch to a WP-running Nokia? Or are you hoping to see something even more impressive at Nokia World?

If you just bought yourselves a shiny new Nokia N9, you are probably eager to connect it to your computer and fill those 16 or 64 GB with tons of multimedia. And, boy, does Nokia have the tool for you.

The Finnish company has just posted an article on their blog, dedicated to Nokia Link – the software kit that makes the connection between your N9 and your computer seamless. Available as a free download for Windows 7, Mac Snow Leopard and Mac Lion, Nokia Link only takes a minute to set up.
You then plug in your Nokia N9 and the transfers may begin. To borrow a quote from Nokia itself “No fuss. No hassle. Just simplicity.”.
To be honest, we don’t see anything simpler than mass storage mode, but we’ll let this one slide just because we like MeeGo so much. N9 owners, please proceed this way to download Nokia Link and get going.
