Nokia Aeon ready to tackle iPhone?
Filed Under: Gadgets, UnObtainium
Rumors of the Nokia “iPhone killer,” the Aeon concept cell phone, still abound, but we hear the manufacturer is closer to production than previously thought.
It’s certainly nice to know that at least one manufacturer is apparently keeping up with the Joneses (Apple) and I think the whole world would be glad to see a realistic alternative the iPhone.
The Aeon, still in R&D, will sport a full touch screen, and although the likely specifications are still a closely guarded secret, some of our Chinese cousins have managed to get a hold of a sample and according to them,
“Netease phone channels correspondents went to Finland’s Nokia headquarters, after efforts before the exclusive worldwide Taiwan have tested this “angel’s face” handset. Now really planes and spy as soon as you send readers, it seems that Nokia has no plans to let Apple iPhone 抢 do thunder! The passage of a few photographs and real news reporter at the scene, Nokia is the real Aeon’s a cell phone, everyone apart from iPhone, there should be more phone can expect!”
I’m not quite sure what that means, but they are certainly very excited over there. As usual, we will just have to wait and see what develops.(Unless any one wants to pay me to go on a spying trip to Taiwan?)

In the photo of the Aeon there is another phone, is there any chance that you might have the model of that phone as well

Yes. I will have to find the details and get back to you though. I got this from Taiwan, so it will take me a while to check. After the new year probably.

Hi.
This is a very nice looking phone. When will it be published? In 10 years? How much will it cost?
Well done to Nokia, and congrats for the good article for you Mark.
Thanks

The Aeon is a prototype. The phone you’ve seen here is a simple Chinese copy. It costs 350 dollars and it is not produced by Nokia. Please, pay attention to the image, and see that in the 3D draws, there saids “Nokia” in the metal part of the front and in the “real” phone, there is no “Nokia”. It’s just a cheap “exterior” copy. Of course, it’s still nice, but it’s not Nokia!

I saw some knock off ones on Ebay from China. Don’t buy them. I don’t think the phones are out yet. I will call a friend of mine who is working for Nokia as a designer. Will post it later after i found out.
