Nokia X9 Symbian 4 Handset Gets Leaked & Ready to Impress

Tweet

We don’t even have Nokia’s Symbian^3 OS to play with and we’ve already gotten word that a Symbian^4-running handset has been spotted in the wild. We don’t know yet if the Nokia X9 in the picture below is the real deal of just another Photoshop image sent to tech blogs to but we’re still going to check it out.

The Nokia X9 is rumored to come with a 1GHz Cortex A8 processor on board, 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, a 12-megapixel camera with LED flash, HDMI connectivity, HSDPA support, Wi-Fi and aGPS, 32GB of storage space, 3.5mm headphone jack and, naturally Symbian^4 on board.

You can also expect lots of social networking features ready to satisfy your Twitter and Facebook needs as well as Nokia’s Ovi Maps navigation tool to be preloaded on future Noka X9 smartphones. Because we are looking at a smartphone here, right Nokia?

The X9 is probably the successor of the X6 which was launched last year and we would definitely love Nokia to hit us with such smartphones in the near future.

Unfortunately for Nokia fans, Symbian^4 is scheduled to arrive only at some point next year, maybe after MWC 2011. Symbian^3 has been unveiled at MWC 2010 and the first Nokia handsets capable of running it are expected to arrive at some point later this year, maybe in time for the holiday season.

Nokia should better step up to the plate and really make sure that consumers are interested in its upcoming mobile platform. Otherwise Microsoft with its Windows Phone 7 Series, which is about to hit markets around the same time Symbian^3 phones will be ready, will take all the glory and thus all the precious cash that comes with it.

Still the X9, whether the real thing that got away from Nokia servers or a simple Photoshop render, still looks interesting and we’ll believe that until we see something official to either confirm or deny its existence.
