Nokia N8 launching tomorrow?

Monday, April 12, 2010

UPDATE: It could be the Nokia N8 folks! We’ve just confirmed that the countdown is indeed for a separate event from the Carpe Diem app. We’ll be bringing you coverage of it as it happens so be sure to check in at 9am tomorrow.

The Nokia N8 flagship Symbian 3 phone is hotly tipped to launch this month, but it could arrive as soon as tomorrow. How do we know? Nokia’s running a mysterious countdown page right now, and it ends in under 24 hours’ time.

Head on over to http://events.nokia.com/everyoneconnect and you’ll see a countdown timer under the banner “Everyone connect”, that ends at 9am tomorrow, UK time. We’ve also received an invite to the online event from Nokia, which packs a mysterious speech bubble, suggesting some form of messaging news. Could this be a Nokia N8 with newly integrated instant messaging and social networking?

Needless to say, we’ve had a rummage around the source code on the Nokia countdown page, but there’s no reference to a Nokia N8. But we’ve got our fingers crossed, since it’s been nearly a year and a half since Nokia outed its last flagship Symbian phone, the N97. The Nokia N8 has to happen soon, or MeeGo will arrive and blow Symbian 3 out of the water before it can even get underway.

We’ve got our fingers crossed it’s a Nokia N8 announcement, but it could be one other thing: the launch of a “Carpe Diem Daily” app, which Nokia is hosting with The School Of Life from 8.30am in London tomorrow also. It’s supposedly a “life-enriching” new mobile phone app, but we’ve also received a separate invite for this, and it seems strange that one would spill the beans on what to expect, while the other ramps up the hype with secrecy.

We’ve asked Nokia for clarification and will update when we hear back.
