            Serioulsy people, i can't believe i have to say this, but do you even know what "prototype" means? This is Proof-of-Principle Prototype or a Form Study Prototype.

            Of course there are smaller physical things missing on the phone. Prototypes actually have even more numbers and nonsense on them, SP21N8-00 or something on the front, missing buttons, battery cover etc.

            For example, If you see manufucturers testing their prototype on the road, like let's say a car manufucturer, you really think the car will come that way without headlights, back seats, paint job etc when it releases?

            Or if u test the demo of a game for example, it's far beyond prototype, but you still get better graphics and gameplay when it releases.

            Do yoo even know what your phones looked like when it was a prototype? you'd be scared if you saw it.

            Obviously this is some Nokia employee leaking some spy shots on the web.

            If someone was to fake this, don't you think they would have done a better job to fool you? It's not really that hard. I can take this photo and photoshop on a camera lens cover if that makes you happy?

            First learn what prototype means, then you can come here in make noise like middleschool kids.

              Looks like a fake to me coz the phone looks really fragile,I mean the faceplate & all.There are also several spaces between the screen and its bezel. And the finish looks really rough because in some pics ,we can see two screws along the two sides of the phone.It's not placed there to enhance the looks of the phone I hope!!!

              Above that,I dont think Nokia is going to release a 12MP cameraphone without any camera lens cover. Also,if this is going to be Nokia's next imaging flagship,the camera has to be atleast on par with the Nokia N86 8MP which has a more sophisticated camera.The latter boost a better camera with wide angle lens along with variable aperture..I dont think that they are going to downgrade such important aspects of the phone...And I can also be wrong!!!

              What do you say??..

                    I do hope that it's scratch resistant since no lens cover for the camera

                      12MP camera?!?!, I swear double digit resolutions only belong on D-SLRs, 12M is just way too much for such a small format sensor, manufacturers are going nuts, but I can hardly blame them for answering the wants of uninformed consumers and their obsession with high megapixel counts

                        Anonymous, 25 Mar 2010What kind of question is that? Why can't you have both? Why... moreThats right, for normal operations on the phone, a touchscreen is much easier to use. But for typing for long periods, eg. Emails or Word processing, it is completely useless having a virtual keyboard.

                          Anonymous, 25 Mar 2010i so, y put touchscreen on N97/N900? y not just hv slide o... moreWhat kind of question is that? Why can't you have both? Why does everything have to be black or white? I just explained why, cause Nokias high end users still wants tocuhscreen, but not a on-screen keyboard cause they think on-screen keyboards are less productive and 70% less interactive. I saw a survey Nokia did about it a few years back.

                            Why does every every article about Nokia ends up with a fight with the IPhone fan boys? Man, they really are jealous. The easiest way to compare a Nokia and a IPhone is as below.
                            The Iphone is a cute stylish poodle that you carry around in your hand a show off with, Its quite dump but it gets its job done by been stylish.
                            Meanwhile a Nokia is a sophisticated, smart German Shepherd. It is powerful, smart and doesn't waste time posing for photograph's. It stays low on flamboyance but beautifully gets any job done.
