This comes as a bit of surprise to us but it seems Nokia is working on a Series 40 handset with 1GHz processor and a ClearBlack capacitive touchscreen Display. Yes, that’s exactly the reaction...

Fanaticism will not Work in Modern Age...Innovation and Value For Money is what we all look for...I was a Hardcore Fan of Nokia but gave Enough time ...before I moved to Android/Apple. However this is a worl any thing can still happen...there is Scope so I wish Nokia to Break the Ground with its next generation of Phones + Windows adoption.

        What if they're planning something like the Motorola Atrix? Something like a S40 dumbphone but with a laptop dock.

          Thats a revolution.what can we expect from nokia smartphones now!even n8 got only 680 mhz processor.i wish they had done it 1 yr earlier.i wud ve never purchasd a symbian then.
          That means symbian wil come 2 dead end even bfore 2015.even if nokia want 2 continue til dat period.
          And definitly my nxt fone wil b nokia smartfone speed greater than 1 ghz i expect!

            Lol like I was reading in one forum

            "Don’t they sell 1 million dumbphones a day? Now imagine all those as smartphones (though price is a BIIIG factor) and these specs suggest not so cheap but they maybe do for a S40. And now just think in all the new Nokias smartphones models with new processors and with the total support of BillG/Microsoft partnership? Nokia is going to be something more than just a simple makeover on phones world.

            If this is what Nokia’s going to give S40, I wonder what we’ll finally get with the smartphone ranges? (MeeGo/Symbian/Windows Phone)."

            And thats a true though.

                    I think its a WP7 device. But as far I have read that, Nokia is going Toto use dual core processor but yeah it can be 1g. But 512 ram.. Um.. I think its not enough any more..

                      because they dont have to pay for software royalties and s40 is much more manageable in terms of battery life and updates and compatable.

                          I have a feeling that the news is not true. Waiting for next week Nokia conference.

                            Nokia has tehe resourses, they is just like microsoft.

                            Yesterdays XBox consoles nobody give a dime for those.

                            Now Kinect rules the gameworld. And all the people that don't believe in them are now buying XB360s, same is going to happen to Windows Phone OS. And by the way to Nokia.

                              Just a waste of processing power. Poeple who buy this kind of handset don't need these kind of CPU. Is it too hard to realize for Nokia?

                                AnonD-11084, 19 Jun 2011N0kia is obviously not thinking straight !!!Not right.

                                In fact Noia is thining in bring a total new class of phones, starting with giving 1 GHz of power to their most basic line up S40...

                                So, there a big chance Nokia will start introducing Dual-Core phones for their new line up. Just in time.
