Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve seen several Nokia Lumia 928 leaked renderings in the past, so we guess it’s just a matter of time before Verizon officially announces the phone’s availability. In any case for those who were still a little skeptical over the renderings, ETrade Supply seems to have in stock several components of the Nokia Lumia 928, such as its LCD screen and digitizer assembly, the former being a striking resemblance to the leaked renders we saw a couple of weeks ago, possibly corroborating the leaks and the legitimacy of the renders. The components also show off Verizon’s logo, suggesting that the phone will be a Verizon exclusive and that you might not be able to find it in other regions or carriers, unless Nokia decides to release the model, of course. In any case if you’re looking forward to the Lumia 928, take a number but fret not as we will be watching for any news related to it, so check back with us at a later date for additional info!

It’s not every day you see two tips from different sources on the same product the manufacturer hasn’t yet confirmed to exist. But that’s what’s happening this week – and though both tips didn’t appear today originally, sadly enough (that’d just be too lucky), it doesn’t seem entirely a coincidence that both items would be showing up so close to one another. What we’ve got on our hands is the two newest appearances of the fabled Nokia tablet – could it finally be time?

First you’re going to want to see the “leak” that appeared earlier this week. While originally this image (shown above) was something we dismissed as an artist’s rendering, it’s source has now had his or her entire site taken down without a trace. If it were only a mocked-up rendering made only to show how the “Adidas micoach app” it’s showing would look on a tablet, the artist would only have left a note, hoping for as much fame from the image as possible, wouldn’t you think?

Still, these are illustrations, and certainly not a showing of any kind of final product from Nokia. If Nokia made them, they never intended to release them with such rough edges. You can find the original (now 404) source at http://cargocollective.com/heyrey#Nokia-Adidas-App – Cargo Collective is a place where artists and designers create their own webspaces and post their work – this is an invite-only community, which again adds credence to the idea that the artist in question didn’t just jump ship when they were called out on their images.

Next there’s a patent application filed by Nokia for a brand new “apparatus cover with keyboard” that you’ll see here situated below what looks suspiciously similar to the Nokia tablet leaks we’ve seen thus far. Engadget discovered this one on the US Patent and Trademark Office listings website where fun bits and pieces go to be registered – and not always come to fruition on the real consumer market.

Have a peek at the timeline below for more information on the possibility of a Nokia tablet and let us know what you think about such a device coming with Windows RT!

At the end of last week, we did talk about the possibility of a Windows 8-powered tablet by Nokia, and here we are with details on another possible Nokia tablet which was spotted in a patent application. While this patent application was filed in October 2011, which is a long time ago by tech standards, chances are it would not have been a tablet that is powered by Windows RT as the operating system of choice, not to mention having a slew of different ways when it comes to folding the cover.

Still, that patent application depicted far too many different methods when it comes to closing the cover, which would definitely make life difficult for folks who want nothing better other than simplicity. Nokia has yet to make the jump into the tablet game with Windows 8 in the market, but considering how they have managed pretty well with the family of Lumia handsets, perhaps it is time that they get a tablet off the ground, too. After all, the time does seem to be right.

Owners of Nokia’s Lumia 620, 820 and 920 are getting some firmware joy as the Swedish Finnish firm just released a new update for the Windows Phone 8 handsets. It’ll bring improved auto screen brightness / touch screen functionality, camera fixes, enhanced Bluetooth headset functionality and numerous performance and stability enhancements, according to Nokia. You can expect to see it rollout “over the coming weeks,” but may able to force the issue by selecting “phone update” from the settings. Check the source for more.

Update: Nokia’s Scandinavian Nordic but it sure ain’t Swedish. Thanks to all who pointed it out.
