Mysterious Nokia half-QWERTY Device,
Appeared In The Wild And Gets Pictured

As I said just a two days ago, Nokia has failed to stop leaking sensitive corporate data and their employees continues with leaking confidential information and it becoming really hard job for Nokia to keep the information about upcoming models hidden from the public before its official release!

Thanks to the folks over at BGR we just got info as well as photos of the upcoming Nokia Smartphone that apparently isn't listed on the Nokia roadmap leaked few days ago although it features the same form factor as well as the HALF QWERTY keyboard solution as the Roxy proto model from the mentioned Nokia roadmaplist.

The code name of the phone is 'Wahoo' and it looks like typical mid-range smartphone. Phone is equipped with totally outdated 2 mpx camera, 2.5mm headphone jack, 2,2" QVGA internal and screen 1.36" (128×160) external screen! Furthermore it has the HSDPA and the Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP profiles and that's basically all we know for now.

The only news actually is the half-QWERTY keyboard that I don't like and that is definitely not suitable for the large male thumbs. Maybe I should give it a more time to get to use but so far working with such keyboard is an extremely annoying experience for me, almost painful!
