Nokia's Roadmap for Smart Phones Leaked?

Yes, you heard it right! Nokia's roadmap for upcoming smart phones leaked. There are over 30 sexy smart phones on their way to hit the market. But don't think that Nokia is going to launch all the prototypes in the roadmap. Also there is no authentication for this. The list also include the announced 5800 Tube. The prototypes are labeled either 'Development complete' or 'In development'.

Any way there are a lot of promising designs among them. Here are some that attracted me:

Corolla: It, code named as Corolla, is supposed to have a 8 megapixel camera! Nokia about to challenge players like Samsung which already has a 8MP cam phone on the market? This non-touchscreen half QWERTY keyboard phone will use a 3 inch VGA display. It says OS 5.0.1. 128MB RAM and 8GB ROM is also proposed. more than enough for a phone right? The model is under development, it says a prototype availability of 2009 11th week.

IP08: One more widescreen touch that we know so far. They expect it to be available by the end of this year. It says 'QWERTY' keyboard too?! Is it a sidekick phone? Supposed to use OS 5.0. megapixel auto-focus camera, Wi-Fi, TV output etc are other features. It also features Nokia's own Naviscroll.

Ivalo: To all our surprise, this follow-on to IP08 phone will have a ROM of 32GB! The phone under development will feature a 3.5 wide touchscreen and all other IP08 features. Prototype is expected to be available with in this year.

Surfer: Nokia completely developed Surfer with Landscape 2.6-inch QVGA screen, QWERTY keyboard, NaviWheel...

Athlon: Considered as refreshed N85. Include features like Quadband GSM, HSDPA, 8-16GB ROM, analog joystick, integrated compass, stereo speakers, GPS, WiFi... Its 5MP camera comes with xenon flash.

Eitri: This may be the most promising prototype in the list. It will be a Landscape candybar with QWERTY keyboard. Will be using a 3.5-inch 640×350 display. It says pressure sensitive touch UI with tactile feedback and
gestures! Along with a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera the phone under develpment includes an integrated compass, accelerometer and proximity sensor.

Tera: Tera will have 'hybrid QWERTY keypad' along with AGPS with integrated compass, 3MP camera with LED flash, WiFi.

Jig: Jig's special feature is that it is a Landscape slider for AT&T using 6650’s guts. Other specs will be Quadband GSM, HSDPA, 2MP camera, 2.4-inch display.

Ofcourse Nokia's research department is too rich for the coming year. No doubt, with a few exciting novel features, the market leader is going to rock coming years. Etri and Corolla deserve special attention as they are capable to take smart phones to next level! See the complete roadmap here.
