The roller coaster of emotion for die-hard Nokia fans could hit an all-time high next week as Nokia plans to unveil a ‘new market disrupting device’ on June 21. The announcement will be followed by a live broadcast from Singapore where the company’s head honcho, Stephen Elop, will deliver the keynote at Nokia Connection 2011.
There’s no telling what this ‘market disrupting device’ might be, but as TheNokiaBlog points out, Mr. Elop previously described MeeGo as the company’s “future disruption in mobile ecosystem”. Based on that reference alone we may be looking at a Nokia MeeGo announcement.
PocketNow believes the device in question might be the successor the Nokia N8, the MeeGo-powered N9. In February specs for the N9 were leaked, revealing the device would feature an Intel 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 200 MHz GPU with 512MB RAM, 480 x 854 pixel display, HDMI output, Broadcom BCM4751 GPS chip, NPX Semiconductor PN544 NFC controller, Infineon XMM 6260 3G modem (21 Mbps HSPA+) and a Texas Instruments WiLink 6.0 WL1271 chip (802.11N WiFi, Bluetooth).
Whether or not June 21 is the Nokia N9 announcement, at the very least we hope to see several Windows Phone devices. Following yesterday’s patent settlement with Apple, Nokia looks to be closing out the month on a high note. A solid showing of devices at Nokia Connection 2011 could really go a long way in winning back Wall Street.
