We're finally going to see what Nokia has planned for Windows Phone 8 with its Lumia line of phones.

Here's are a list of what we'll probably see:

Phones with Nokia's "Pureview" camera sensor
Quad and Dual Core Windows Phones
New designs
Multiple versions and screen sizes (4.6" and 4.3" rumored)
Lumias on Verizon and Sprint
720p and 768p screens

Looks like TheVerge has gotten it's hands on a leak.

Leaks, leaks everywhere

See on that ruler where it says "0.1 mm"? "mm" doesn't stand for "inches." That's eleven centimeters, people.

Here goes nothin'. I've put off buying a new phone for 7 or 8 months, hoping to see a flagship WP8 Verizon phone. I hope I'm not disappointed.

No, segoe is fine in the tiles. Actually, it should be Segoe WP, but standard UI is fine. It looked a bit weird to me, that's why I asked.

We are back to normal again :/

That ruling was after the stock exchange closing though so its impact was a bit muted.

Has to do with what an Apple lawyer said in court against Samsung. He showed the Lumia 900 to the court to show that "not every smartphone needs to look like an iPhone."

You should probably get your eyes checked. Thread title is a quote from Apple referring to the Lumia line in their case against Samsung.

Oh yeah my eyes need to be checked because I don't follow every statement from every company that has a popular web presence in every stupid patent case they ever file. Thanks for the tip, doctor. I set up an emergency appointment with a wide range of differing types of eye care professionals to hopefully clear up this problem I have of not being completely and utterly omniscient.

Intense.

Been stuck with my now constantly losing reception iPhone 4 for over 2 years now.

Choice is between the new Lumia, new iPhone or the Samsung Ativ S.

My Xbox keeps telling me to go Windows Phone. Which will be a tricky changeover given my household contains a Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iPad and 2 iPhones.

I think those were 2 seprate points which easily got misinterpreted. 1) it's a quote 2) it really is different than the iPhone if you look at it not only from a software level but also from a hardware level instead of randomly firing shots at a really nice person, who made a harmless comment.

Also I would like it if you didn't make a complete ass out of your self. I know shit happens but taking it out on random people is inexcusable .

Still looks fairly similar to an iPhone aesthetically (you know... how it looks) in the shots provided.



Not really taking anything out on random people.. I was addressing, directly, a person who made an asinine and irrelevant comment about my eyesight.

I think that might just be the bezel, you know, to be placed on the actual phone, like this:

It's missing the carbon casing. That's just the glossy part that blends in with the display.

Yeah but that's just one part of the phone, I bet that if you strip the bezel on the Lumia 900 people would say that the screen part looks just like an iPhone

I don't even know how he can be so confident they're similar based only off of prototypes of a faceplate. Give it time.

He probably is, but even Apple disagrees, so we should probably move past his blindness.
