Making the rumours of a July 17 release event more stable, Eldar at Mobile-Review has finally revealed the details of upcoming Nokia devices. According to his (still Russian only) article…

N79 – would be a low cost version of N82. Available from Q4 2008 at € 250 – 275.
N85 – The (video focussed) device is expected by Nokia to be a mass market product. It will be released in the same time as N79 and will cost € 350 – 375. He also notices that the N85 prototypes have been very stable. As we already know, he loves the device.

5800 XpressMedia (aka:Tube) – Another 2008 release. Will only be an experiment of the Touch platform.
But still packing a high end feature set.
Will be released in December with a €400 price tag.
6260 Classic – The next device to take the 6260 numbering. Still unsure what it’s exact name will be. This 6260 is another 5MP device running on S60 and will be available at around €360.
Eldar also mentions of an E75, a Sofie and a Trisha. Which, according to him, are already widespread as prototypes and he’s eagerly waiting to see who’l leak the first photos of those devices. He mentions that there are around ten more not leaked Nokia devices slated for release this year.

According to Eldar, GPS is set to enter the S40 platform next year and it will be the second half of 2009 when a “real” touch device is released. He also notes that Motorola will present a camera phone/s next year which will surpass that of Nokia in terms of quality, although Nokia will still be the leader in photography (does this mean that the Motorola will have better video capabilities ?)

I’m not surprised if either Sofie or Trisha is a touch device which Eldar’s little daughter played with so eagerly and handled so easily.
