Leaked photos (read: image render) of, what is supposedly, the upcoming Nokia N98 suggests it could be a cross between the recently launched Nokia N8 and the previous slider-qwerty phone, N97.
The form factor is inherited from the N97 so this render of the Nokia 98 isn’t very far off. And I think the Finnish company really wants to correct some of their mistakes with the N97. Nokia’s VP of Markets Anssi Vanjoki said in an interview that the N97 was a “tremendous disappointment in terms of the experience quality for the consumers and something [they] did not anticipate.” {Giz}
The specs are still speculative but it will be somewhere in the vicinity of 4-inches with a capacitive touch screen, much like the X6, and a 32GB internal storage. Whether it’ll run Maemo, Meego or Symbian^3 — there’s just so many options for Nokia to go about with this one but, hopefully, they’ll be able to get it right this time.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the N98 combines the specs of the N8 and the form factor of the N97?
Please feature Nokia N900 and make a review. Thanks!
