Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve been hearing a lot of chatter about Nokia’s upcoming Lumia device called the EOS, but no solid evidence has come our way besides a few rumors about the device sporting an aluminum body, a waterproof nanocoating, and obviously a huge camera sensor and lens that looks to be the main feature of the phone. The latest rumblings is that we’ll see this device in stores sometime later this month.

In a screenshot taken of one Microsoft Store’s inventory, there’s a Nokia device called the 1020 that’s said to be the 41MP EOS device that we’ve been hearing all about. It shows the handset as being an AT&T exclusive in three colors: black, yellow, and white. Retail price looks to be set at around $600, according to the screenshot.

It’s said that Microsoft Stores will be getting the 1020s on July 22, but will wait a few days before actually putting them on store shelves for purchase. However, this means that you should be able to pick up an EOS as soon as later this month. Considering that Nokia is planning an event for next week, we’d be surprised if we didn’t see an EOS announcement.

However, if you really want one, you may have to get their early in order to snag a unit. According to this specific screenshot of one Microsoft Store’s inventory, there’s only going to be 70 units total per store on average, split amongst the three color choices.

We’ve already seen the EOS leaked and shown off, so if the device looks anything like what we’ve been seeing, we’ll already know what to expect, so we’re merely just waiting to get our hands on the thing and test out this high-MP camera to see what it’s capable of. Hopefully Nokia will treat us with the new device next week, so stay tuned!

Wondering what the Nokia EOS (aka Lumia 1020) will look like in US trim? This may be your first glimpse: @evleaks has posted a press image of the device in its AT&T form. If accurate, it represents our first proper view of the flagship Windows Phone’s front side, and it suggests that we’re looking at a subtle evolution of the Lumia 920 from this angle. Look closely at the software, however. There’s a previously unknown Nokia Pro Cam app, which hints that Lumia 1020 owners will get more than just a tweaked version of the Smart Camera app on the Lumia 925. Presumably, this would include extra controls to tame the camera’s 41 million pixels. There’s no launch details or other tidbits included with the as yet unconfirmed image, although there’s a real chance that we’ll see a lot more around July 11th.

Nokia is attempting to earn some new Lumia converts by announcing its new Nokia Trade-Up Program, which is a clever title saying between the lines that, “No matter you turn in, you’re trading up.” Under the program, current smartphone owners who have grown tired of their old, possibly beat-up handsets can turn them in, buy

Nokia’s Lumia phones show promise despite the company’s dwindling overall sales, and now’s your chance to nab one at more affordable prices — if you’re willing to trade in an old phone, that is. The Finnish company’s new trade up program in the US will take in old mobile devices and send back up to $300 loaded on a Visa prepaid card, so long as you also purchase a Lumia. A lot of brands and models are accepted (check out if yours is via the trade up portal linked below), but popular ones like the iPhone 4S, the Galaxy S 4, and the HTC One will net you the most money. So, if you’re sick of being lost in a crowd of Androids and iPhones, now’s the time to give WP8 a whirl.

Once Sesame Street starts using Augmented Reality, you know the tech is no longer considered a niche affair. Strangely enough, however, we haven’t actually seen an AR app that caters to job seekers, but Nokia’s got that covered with JobLens — an app we’ve tested at Nokia’s UK-based Lumia 925 launch event last month. The program arrives on Lumia devices in the US and Canada today, utilizing the same LiveSight sight recognition tech previously seen in Here, and involving collaborative efforts with LinkedIn, Indeed, Zillow and Salary.com. In addition to gaining the benefit of visualizing exactly where you can find open positions around you, the app will help you create and submit resumes to push you in the right direction. There’s still no word on when we can expect to see JobLens outside of North America, though we imagine it won’t be too long. As a gentle reminder of how it all works, we’ve added our hands-on video after the break.
