A brand spanking new touchscreen phone has leaked online and looks set to become the Finnish manufacturers second Symbian ^3 device following the hotly anticipated . The Nokia C7-00 will follow in the N8’s footsteps by running on the newly revamped Symbian operating system but what else can we expect from this mysterious new device?
Well, the C7-00 will feature a 3.3 inch capacitive touchscreen with support for multi-touch (thanks in part to the new OS), an 8.0 Megapixel camera with autofocus and 720p HD video capture, matching that of the and joining the likes of the , and .
Elsewhere, the C7-00 will include a 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB port, 3G connectivity and expandable memory via a microSD card slot.

Courtesy of a leak from Germany, we now see that the HTC Ace will launch as the Desire HD whilst the Qwerty-packing Vision will go under the name Desire Z. The Vision has leaked previously and looks set to feature a slide out QWERTY keyboard with a unique snap-out mechanism that earns the Vision the Z in its name. Elsewhere the Desire Z is expected to include the Desire’s 3.7 inch multi-touch touchscreen, OS, a 1GHz processor and the same 5.0 Megapixel camera.
On to the Ace now and this is alot more speculative. The phone we now know as the Desire HD will be an Android touchscreen device and is more than likely to be the successor to the hugely popular Desire. Current rumours have it that the Desire HD will be a GSM variant of the HTC Evo 4G, the phone that debuted exclusively on the US network Sprint and combined 4G WiMax technology with a 4.3 inch capacitive touchscreen display, Android OS 2.1 (recently updated to 2.2 Froyo), 8 Megapixel camera and HD video capture. It’s the addition of HD to the name that could prove that the Evo 4G is coming to these shores.
No word on an official announcement for either the HTC Desire HD or Desire Z so be sure to check back on the and we’ll let you know as soon as HTC go public with their next Android powered .
