Nokia making a crazy Sidekick-esque phone for Verizon?
Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, Verizon Wireless, EV-DO, CDMA
This rumor’s got more holes than swiss, but stranger things have happened, so it’ll be an interesting scoop to keep an eye on nonetheless. A tipster to Boy Genius Report claims that Nokia is working on a “swiveling E71-type handset” for — get this — Verizon, of all carriers, featuring a full QWERTY keyboard and running Series 40. Judging from the mockup here, that sorta puts it in the same vein as the Sidekick — a form factor most carriers and manufacturers (especially Nokia) have avoided. Given that Espoo’s still basically dipping its toes in the CDMA waters — and the fact that a Verizon device running Series 40 proper seems implausible at best — we’re going to be shocked if this thing sees the light of day. Pleasantly surprised, yes, but still shocked.
