It’s been a while now since Nokia came up with an interesting phone form factor innovation in an actual phone, instead of patent applications.

You know, something along the lines of Nokia 7380 “lipstick“, Nokia N92 TV phone or Nokia N93 Camcorder/imaging phone.

Well, it looks like we may soon have an interesting new slider among upcoming Nokia N-Series imaging phones.

In addition to ratateable camera, this new Nokia device also has a retractable flash assembly, which allows to hide/expose the phone flash within the body of the device.

And contrary to the other Nokia patent applications, the pictures in this one are not only a rough schematics, but include a rather detailed drawing of the phone itself.

Which may indicate that somewhere inside Nokia there actually is such a device already in the works, and we may see it announced, or at least leaked, pretty soon.

Also, and I’m not sure what to make of it, but if you enlarge Fig. 9 in the patent application, it looks like there’s a label saying 6 or 8 megapixel on the phone.

Nokia N-Series 8 megapixel slider for next year?

I hope a nice nokia 8mp phone comes out soon too ofcourse, but nothing like this. this is shit. And this obviously isnt true in any way, some really stupid rumour. by the way, m not so keen on the se, it doesnt look too good to me(not important) and it isnt a smartphone!(very important) so i wouldnt even consider wasting my money on it. The Samsung INNOV8 on the other hand is something im dying to get my hands on. Beautiful, powerful, versatile, and a brilliant camera. And yes, most important, a series60 smartphone!
Check it out if you havent already.

Like i mentioned in my first post it's only a RUMOR
We home that the new 8MP Nokia phone looks better that the picture above

I still have yet to see anything pop up about nokia's 8mp phone but right now it does seem confirmed as a rumour. Nokia won't want to drop the n96 just yet so even if there is development of an 8mp nokia, they are going to keep it under wraps. As for sony ericsson though, don't be surprised if you see an 8mp s60 v3 phone from them because they are dropping the uiq platform
