Nokia Normandy home screen and interface screenshots leak, expected February 25

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

Update: Here’s a bonus for you all! The date on the screenshot is Tuesday, 25, which can only be February 25, the second day of MWC. OEMs often use dates in their press shots that correspond to launch/announcement dates, so it is safe to assume, for the time being, that the Normandy should be unveiled at a press event in Barcelona, happening on February 25, say, 12:30? Looks like there’s really no day passing by without some Nokia Normandy news, sighting, or leak. We’ve seen renders and real-life pictures of the ...

Pocketnow Weekly 079: Galaxy S 5 whispers, Moto moves, and the CES 2014 virgin experience

Posted on by Michael Fisher

[vamp] [vamp] [vamp] [vamp] That’s the text that leads us in to each episode of the Pocketnow Weekly: a column of virtual prompts on the rough rundown reminding us that, after our loosely scripted intro block, there’s a gulf of pure off-topic nonsense between the opening music and the rundown’s news section. It’s a handful of minutes devoted to office banter, good-natured ribbing, and, in today’s case, an EQ experiment by our own Taylor Martin that results in him literally reading the “vamp” cues out loud like the delightful troll he is. ...

More Nokia Normandy pictures surface

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

We’re seeing more Nokia Normandy pictures pop up on the internet, after just recently being able to take a quick peek at the phone while allegedly being powered on. The Android (sort-of) powered upcoming Nokia device has shown its colors off in a leaked press render yesterday, and, we’re now seeing a picture of a phone claimed to be exactly the Normandy, again, in real life. We’re seeing a Lumia-like design, ...

Nokia Normandy render shows off UI, color options

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

The Nokia Normandy is still making waves after we’ve just seen the phone allegedly powered on for the first time. If you need a kind reminder, it’s the phone which looks like an Asha phone, but it should run some sort of custom Android (read forked) build. A recent device leak not only shows off a rather large color palette to choose from, but also a very Windows Phone-like user interface. There aren’t many details except that it should be landing this year (our bet is MWC 2014) and that ...

Nokia Normandy finally pictured in the flesh (and powered-on)

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

As the story behind the Nokia Normandy unfolds, we’re finding ourselves more and more fascinated with what by all logic should be a WP8 or Asha device, yet appears to reveal Nokia’s flirtation with Android. Last week we got to check out some of the best evidence to date, with a series of renders depicting the phone’s software, complete with a custom Nokia UI. Great stuff, but once again, we were looking at a render – would we ever see Normandy in the ...

Is this really some Nokia Android phone evidence? The elusive Normandy?

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Update: We’ve moved the screenshots down below, because we see @evleaks has just released his latest batch of Normandy imagery. Dig the UI? - For about a month now, we’ve been fielding rumors that the Nokia Normandy, initially teased as some mysterious “missing link,” could actually be an Android-running smartphone.

Nokia Normandy could still have a future yet

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

What’s to become of the Nokia Normandy? The smartphone’s been captivating us with its mystery for the past couple months now; what we first assumed would be some kind of Windows Phone handset has since drastically shifted in terms of our expectations, and found itself attached to the story that Nokia’s been using the hardware to test the Android waters. Even if that were true what would it mean now? With the sale to Microsoft, was Normandy dead in the ...

Nokia Normandy leaked again with color options

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

The phone codenamed Normandy by Nokia initially popped up about a month ago as a leaked render of a red phone, which since has been rumored to be an upcoming phone running some sort of Android variation as its OS. Said report also claimed the Normandy would land next year, which is pretty much around the corner. However, today’s leak, aside from showing off additional color options (like black, cyan, yellow, white, ...

Nokia Normandy runs Android, claims report

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

“Nokia Normandy is the missing link”, that statement got us thinking that the phone might be the “link” between Windows Phone 8 and Windows RT, but that was quickly waved off by the report that it might be Asha-line-up related. Now a report published on the Verge might shed some light on this, as the Normandy is claimed to be an Android device. Many were hoping that Nokia would at one point switch to Android and ...

Nokia Normandy render leaks, doesn’t look like the “missing link” we hoped for

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

More than once this month we’ve had the opportunity to discuss some Nokia codenames, and one of the most interesting we’ve heard teased has been the Nokia Normandy. The key tidbit that had us so captivated was the promise from @evleaks that “Nokia Normandy is the missing link.” But the link between what and what? After running down some possibilities, we were leaning towards the notion that Normandy may bridge the gap between Windows Phone 8 and ...
