Agree with other commentators that Engadget really could drop the "with video" phrases, since it's only Apples iPhone that has been release without video recording so far, when it comes to high-end phones. Nokia phones always come with video, even the cheaper ones.

Here's a page showing the (alleged) spec:

http://www.cellpassion.com/news/2009/09/12/-update-exclusive--nokia-erdos--the-8800-gets-more-bling---video-link--.aspx

Why don't they create a plastic version so mere mortals can afford one?

And improve the spec, so it is more like some of their OLDER models, such as the N95? IE, VGA video at 30FPS, not 15?

Why are we moving backwards people?]]>Sep 13th 2009 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/"Nokia Erdos: a shiny sphincter, or an OLED-equipped reality?"]]>Sep 13th 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/
Some intriguing observations...

- @ 0:24 "Precision engineering"... remarkable as an Eclipse 400!?

- @ 0:30 "Revolutionary rising keypad"... so it makes the overall thickness more consistent? Not too sure about the practicality. But if it's applied to any touchscreen glass, i.e. when we touch the complete flat surface, it'll magically "raise" like a dimple button - then I'd call revolutionary beyond the piezo sensor.

- @ 0:37 "Reflective, advanced scratch resistant"... but like many before, it'd be finger-print magnet.

- @ 0:57 "Fast download and upload with HSPA"... 10.2Mbps DL / 2Mbps UL like 6260 slide? Then prospective buyers in North America would be snubbed again with the majority 8800 series models. Well, I hope Nokia will consider one variant that works on 850/1900/AWS.

- @ 1:05 "5 Megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss optics, Dual LED flash"... looks more like a Xenon bulb but wouldn't it nice instead?

- @ 1:10 "Noise reduction microphone, Superior sound quality"... I really hope Nokia put some engineering inspirations from its Vertu side.

- @ 1:18 "Go silver OLED display for privacy"... would it mean the screen relatively dimmer, narrow viewing angle?

- @ 1:23 "Indication lighting for calls and missed events"... I'd be surprised if this model is running on S60 at all. If it's S60, then Nokia has "successfully" managed to make the UI experience more straight-forward, object-oriented like S40 then.

- @ 1:42 "Nokia 8800 XXXX, Outer perfection, Inner power"(?)... I like the dock. And, does it come with the matching Bluetooth handset?

- @ 1:50 "for internal use only"... a whole thing is far from launch?]]>Sep 13th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 13th 2009 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 14th 2009 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 14th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/13/nokia-erdos-a-shiny-specter-or-an-oled-equipped-reality/Sep 18th 2009 6:43PM
