Nokias First Android Phone To Launch Before End of 2013

Its been a while since Nokia fanboys are expecting an Android phone from the house of the Finnish tech manufacturer and now it looks that you will get one soon. Especially after the Nokia Normandy rumored have kicked off.

Again, the famous Twitter leakster @evleaks has leaked new pictures of the Nokia small screen smartphone which has been codenamed as Normandy. The tweet also hints at the launch to happen as soon as before the year ends. There are few more rumors associated with the leak which say that this will be first device to be working on Android but now when it has been acquired by Microsoft this does not seem to happen.

As far as its looks are concerned then the ‘arrow on the bottom of the front panel of the device makes you belief that this is the same Nokia Asha 301 because it was the first device by Nokia with this arrow on their front panel but evleaks never broadcast the images of the already revealed products.

Part of the rumors also say that the team which was allocated with this task to completing the Normandy project are now focused on improving and enhancing the wireless charging. Well even if it was the first device by Nokia with Android, then nothing can be done about this because you will not be seeing it again. Keep following us as we will update you if this device manages to come out as another Asha series device with Asha OS.

What do you think, will Nokia Normandy hit the markets before 2013 ends? Pour your opinions in the comments section below.

Think fast in the first Think Quarterly of 2012

In the amount of time it takes you to read this blog post, roughly 382 Android phones will be activated, 250,000+ words will be written on Blogger and 48 hours of video will be uploaded to YouTube. The world is moving faster than ever before, bringing us instant access and split-second connections to people and information.

Speed is important in technology, but equally essential in business. Consumer expectations are rising as we learn to take speed for granted; today’s email is tomorrow’s snail mail. In our hyper-real-time world, nanoseconds matter—which means we need to question old assumptions. How will we respond to consumer expectations as the demand for instant access to everything intensifies? How will we keep pace in a world that moves at web speed?

The new Speed issue of Think Quarterly explores these questions and more. Our SVP of Engineering Urs Hölzle shares our efforts to speed up the Internet, while Astro Teller, Director of New Products, dreams about the amazing inventions these improvements will unleash. Paul Gunning, CEO of Tribal DDB, talks about the rise of real-time marketing. And journalist Jeff Jarvis wonders if we’re really that fast after all.

We hope you enjoy the issue. Let us know what you think on +Think With Google. And if you’re at CES this week, drop by our Room to Think in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and tell us your thoughts live. We’ll also host a Google+ Hangout there with Astro Teller, author of Speed of Dreams, on Thursday at 2pm PST.
