Mixed Metal handset from Vertu Constellation series

Vertu has introduced a new version of the Constellation phone called Mixed Metall. The shell is coated with stainless steel with golden parts. The navigation pad, side buttons, speaker grates and screws are made of 18-carat yellow gold. It comes with the ceramic keyboard and the rear panel covered with black leather. In addition Vertu released a Constellation version of satin steel and burgundy colored leather coat.

I’d remind you that Vertu Constellation handsets debuted in fall 2006. These are candy bar phones equipped with 208x208 pixel displays and sapphire glass. Vertu Constellation works in GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, supports Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 interfaces, and lacks a camera.

Nokia to come with an 8-megapixel N-series smarthone?

The materials of the US Patent Office contain the info on a new Nokia slider. It is equipped with a camera module, which is located in an unusual place and can be revolved, and a flash, which can be hidden inside the device. Uncustomary for standard applications Nokia has provided a good image of the phone in addition to the schemes. The product is probably in the process. Under the camera lens we can hardly see an “8 megapixel” mark. Does it mean we are to see an 8-megapixel N-series smartphone next year?
