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...

        Moh'd Ziyad, 19 Jun 2011let us just hope it's a new S40 killer leading as a result ... moreConnected n86 to a short circuit usb port, it gave me a 240V shock. I'm thankful i survived the previous whole night while it was laying around in my bed.
        Possibly my fault, but when i shell out that much money, i expect more in return.

          I think they are using this much power and ram to record 720p HD videos with a decent camara(5mp+). If it comes with a lower price tag it will be a hit in india. I don't think that s40 can handle multitasking.

              They don't even have smartphones with 1Ghz CPUs.. Why the hell would they put a 1GHz processor on a feature phone?!

                      S40 don't eat that much power, so, this one will be an excellent choice to crappy phones around. And believeme here at Latin America we are full of crappy cheap phones.

                            ultimate power mobile with themes and adorable touch and good looks and size forget hanging and forget lake of multi-touch
                            actually java is the mass with developers for it and it will have very nice and great games and apps with that ram
                            all of us know how much it;s easy to fix nokia and the great support for it

                            and now the only thing that will make it a killer mobile phone is to have a investment to play android games or make it easy to translate them to work on new nokia s40 sounds crazy but after all the s40 with the 1ghz it will have a very great battery life better than many androids (if they use at minimum 1500 mah ) then i'm thinking in 10 hours browsing time in good price tag
                            just but a good camera and all the geeks and wide range of people will buy it for easy of use and just for a reliable mobile it will be

                                  s40 hasn't got multitasking so the 1ghz cpu is useless

                                    I'm one hundred percent sure its not a s40 phone. there no way nokia could have modified s40 to utilize all that power withing such a short time and without all of us hearing about it. if such a device exists, its definitely and s^3 model.

                                        Not a S40 device, but a S^3 device, and his 2nd tweet there doesn't exist, I searched for it... Slide out QWERTY suggests E7-03...
