Nokia brings Symbian^3 to China Mobile, officially announces T7-00 and 702T
Though its visits have been few and far between, Nokia has had a presence on China Mobile for many years. The carrier's never been blessed, however, with any TD-SCDMA devices powered by Symbian^3 -- until now. Two new flagship models, known as the T7-00 and 702T, were announced by both companies and slated for Q3 release. If both phones seem oddly familiar, there's a very good reason why: the T7-00, as we originally speculated, is a variant of the Nokia N8 with a lower-quality 8 megapixel EDoF sensor; the 702T is the TD-SCDMA version of the E6, though the keyboard has been altered slightly to include larger Function and Ctrl buttons, allowing for easier switching between Chinese and English input. Both phones will be pre-loaded with the Anna update, and could be a big factor in helping Nokia hit its goal of selling 150 million Symbian devices before the OS goes the way of the Dodo.

Nokia T7-00 surfaces again, looks like N8 redux
This isn't our first encounter with the Nokia T7-00, but this time around we're getting a whole bunch more info thanks to some detailed pics leaked by PCPop. In a nutshell, the T7-00 appears to be a downgraded version of Nokia's N8 imaging flagship for the Chinese market. The phone is identical to the N8 in appearance, except for the missing camera pod in the back. Gone is the phenomenal 12 megapixel autofocus Zeiss shooter with xenon flash -- instead, you'll find an 8 megapixel camera (likely EDoF, like its E7 and C7 cousins) with dual-LED flash mounted flush with the body. In addition, the micro-USB connector finds a new home behind the plastic door that normally conceals the mini-HDMI port on the N8. Under the hood, the existing pentaband 3G radio gives way to China's proprietary TD-SCDMA standard, and the ARM 11 processor gets a 20MHz speed bump to 700MHz. Considering the vast numbers of mobile subscribers in China, the T7-00 is sure to help Nokia reach its goal of selling 150 million Symbian devices in the next few years.

Nokia T7-00 leaks, joins the 150 million-strong new Symbian order
We know that despite its recent alliance with Microsoft, Nokia is still planning to sell 150 million Symbian devices in the years to come, and it looks like this new Symbian order is getting stronger by the day. Hot on the heels of the E6-00 640x480 communicator and X7-00 media-centric phone, we are now seeing evidence -- in the form of a leaked user agent profile -- of a T7-00 360x640 device. In addition to the screen resolution indicating a portrait model, it will feature Symbian^3, two softkeys, and browser version 7.3. We are also hearing rumors that the T7-00 "will blow your mind" -- well, according to one GSM Arena commenter, anyway. All we know for sure is that the Nokia Astound for T-Mobile could certainly use some reinforcements on the US front, so bring it on, Nokia. [Thanks, Joe]
