Funny lookin' Nokia -- the 7088, perhaps?
Pretty much every detail surrounding this bizarre slider is distinctly un-Nokia. First, it's allegedly the 7088, a CDMA phone recently approved by the FCC. Thanks to a recent series of spats with Qualcomm, the popular belief held that Nokia was all but abandoning in-house CDMA handset development, but the 7088 is straight-up 100 percent Espoo. Second, it's frickin' weird. The front has a strange, pudgy appearance (which admittedly jibes with the ID label diagram in the FCC's archives for the 7088) with distinctly L'Amour-esque accents, despite the fact that it's said to sport a meager 160 x 128 display -- pretty crappy for a phone bearing L'Amour credentials. Ah, well; whatever Nokia wants to call this thing, we reckon there'll be more than a few CDMA users across the globe celebrating its arrival.
