Nokia N8 being announced mid-April

We’ve just been told by a trusted source that Nokia will announce a new flagship device dubbed N8 in the middle of next month. That’s not around any major trade shows that we’re aware of, but it is just before the company’s Annual General Meeting in Helsinki — and naturally, it doesn’t hurt their relationship with major investors to have just introduced a killer new device. For what it’s worth, we just saw a leaked photo yesterday morning of a Symbian^3-based phone purporting to be the N8, so this lines up rather nicely, doesn’t it? Announcement certainly doesn’t equate to availability in Nokia’s world, so until we hear otherwise, we’ll assume that Eldar Murtazin’s claim of a September retail launch is likely accurate.
