Gr... I actually wanted something more like an N900 with a capacitive touch screen and some Zeiss optics. I like it, but I wanted a landscape keyboard.

#12How did they have this already ready? Was this a previous phone design that they just rendered with Windows Phone 7, or had they been working with Microsoft already?
I saw speculation about Nokia switching to WP7 about as soon as Elop went to Nokia. It's hardly a surprise that they've been working on this stuff for a while.
Or it's some Photoshop renders. Either way.

They'll be rolling in every shape and form.

From TFA: >The best part about this whole discovery, however, might be that it confirms Steve Ballmer's assertion that the engineers of both companies have "spent a lot of time on this already."
More like, a concept designer in Nokia has spent a few hours mocking something up in Photoshop.

They've been working together for some time already, but this is likely just a mock-up using Nokia's internal concepts to show how it might look.

If they had spent enough time they would have demoed it at the press conference, so they are probably mockups.

#19I have to say, they look pretty good!
Nokia's industrial design seems like the only real contender to Apple's in terms of being sleek, modern, but still distinctive and immediately recognisable. It's hard to make a touchscreen phone anything more than a screen, but they both manage to pour the identity of their brand into their devices in a way that few others do.

#20Not gonna lie those looks sick. I also really liked using the Windows Phone interface, when I played around with it in a T-Mobile store the other day. I prefer it to Android.
I was an iPhone 3G user for a while, then went to the darkside with a MyTouch 3G, then Nexus One, and yesterday I picked up a VZW iPhone 4. I can honestly say that with due time for developers to get up to speed with Windows Phone... it will offer a much nicer experience than Android. I still think that Apple does it best though, and adore this new VZW iPhone.
