Nokia outs a future Windows Phone in developer video

Nokia certainly isn’t the shy type. While most tech companies seem to be taking the Apple approach and locking up their phone designs, Nokia had no qualms unveiling its Lumia 800 months ahead of time (as the N9), and it looks like the Finnish phonemaker is going for round two. In a Nokia Developer video, an unnamed teal Windows Phone appears not once, but twice. While it could be a completely fake phone or a concept device, there is a good chance that it could also be one of the new Windows Phones Nokia just hinted about.

It’s almost impossible to say, but from the shape, this phone appears to have a slightly larger screen than the Lumia 800. Perhaps 4.0 or 4.3 inches? In any case, it looks good. We’re glad to see Nokia embracing some color, as no other phone maker seems to dare release anything that isn’t black, silver, or white.

What do you think of this design? Is Nokia on the right track with these phones? LTE, dual-core, or quad-core specs would help sell us, but the designs seem great.

The best free VPNs for 2026
The best free VPNs still come with compromises, but a few offer enough privacy and flexibility to be genuinely useful.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.

There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening.

That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.

Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
