Nokia might be in the process of wrapping up its devices and services division and getting ready to drop it in Microsoft’s lap, but that doesn’t mean it has been sitting idly by, leaving the market to fend for itself. Earlier this week it unveiled its first ever Android phones, and it is believed that Nokia still has a couple of Windows Phone devices up its sleeve. The Nokia Lumia 630 is apparently one of them, and this smartphone’s purported “product sheet” has been leaked, which points towards a 4.5 inch display and also sheds light on the possible dimensions.

If this product sheet is to be believed, the Lumia 630 will come in at 129.55mm x 66.7mm, with the front being dominated by its 4.5 inch display. If previous specifications leak turn out to be true, it could be a 720p HD display on this smartphone. Apparently codenamed “Moneypenny,” the Lumia 630 was initially expected to be unveiled at MWC 2014.

There may very well be one aspect to this smartphone that will set it apart from all Windows Phone devices, even those from Nokia. It is believed that the Lumia 630 is going to be the world’s first dual-SIM Windows Phone. That’s very much possible, given that Microsoft has already confirmed Windows Phone 8.1 will bring support for dual-SIM phones. Presumably it will be launched in emerging markets at the start, after Microsoft formally unveiled its next major mobile platform update.

The carrier has been rolling out an over-the-air update for Samsung’s popular phablet, but its not KitKat. Users who see the notification pop up on their devices shouldn’t get their hopes up just yet, the AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4 KitKat update isn’t quite there yet. It appears that AT&T has rolled out a maintenance update prior to KitKat, which doesn’t move it up, much to the dismay of countless users waiting for KitKat, from version 4.3 Jelly Bean.

There is word going around that the new Sony Xperia Z1 Compact that hit the market earlier this year in January, with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in tow, ought to be on the receiving end of an update to Android 4.4.2 KitKat – kicking it off in April, of course. Apart from the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, it seems that the Xperia Z1 as well as the Xperia Z Ultra too, will be on the receiving end of some Android 4.4 KitKat goodness in the same month itself. Do bear in mind that this is but a rumor, so do take all that you have read with a grain of salt here.

Boeing is a company that many associate with aeroplanes, and rightfully so given that that is the company’s core competency. However Boeing has been making headlines as of late for something completely unrelated – smartphones.

As you might recall earlier, a certain Boeing “Black” handset was spotted at the FCC, although at that time there was no official announcement from the company, at least until now where Boeing has officially announced the Black smartphone, a device which the company is touting as a highly secure product.
