The Nokia Box which got blogs nattering last week and James questioning whether Nokia should be relying on a hashtag (and angering lots of folk in the process) has opened early thanks to some careless blogging. So, is the Nokia N8 or the rumoured Nokia N9 slider huddled inside the little packet of hype? Nope! It’s the Nokia C6. A phone that’s already out in the UK…
The Nokia C6, concealed by the Nokia Box lids in a post on the WOM World blog, is a 3.2in touchscreen phone packing Symbian S60 5th Edition. It was unveiled in the UK back in April and is already available unlocked and on contract from several networks.
It looks like the Nokia Box challenge taking place tomorrow in London, Singapore, New York and India will be a global launch for the Nokia C6. The event will apparently put participants through challenges using the phone.
The identity of the mystery Nokia in the Nokia Box was spilled by WOM World which has been organising the Nokia Box event. The picture it posted of the boxes hiding the phones was tagged with “Nokia C6”.
It’s slightly disappointing to discover that the Nokia Box wasn’t hiding anything new for us to see. But perhaps Nokia will have some surprise announcement to wow us with tomorrow. We’ll be keeping an eye out in case the Nokia Box has hidden depths.
