[Karim]

That's the specs of the Nokia 7700. 8650 won't be a Series90 phone.

[Memzee]

Didn't someone post a bogus rumour using the specs. of 7700 before on M-R?

[superstar]

All I can say is rumor has it for a 1MP camera at the least! fully GREAT music player which reads most -all formats... a cool phone indeed if this is true

[jmax577]

there is so much bs on this phone i can't even wade through it all.

[zalameh1]

there is so much bs on this phone i can't even wade through it all.

as karim said, its just the specs of the 7700 with 8650 written instead of 7700. ive been waiting for a new 8XXX series for a long time, even though i know i aint gonna be able to afford it. i just want to see what nokia is going to come up with.
