Nokia to announce a new handset on October 13?
Tied to an interesting new viral campaign, Nokia may be announcing another new handset in less than two days. According to Nokia’s new “My Phone Knows Everything About Me” site, something is getting ready to drop this coming Monday, October 13. The Nokia Blog received an invitation sent out by Nokia’s word of mouth PR team, inviting the blog head to a small dinner event that will take place on Monday. The invitation makes reference to N-Gage, though Nokia’s peculiar new viral makes no reference at all to the gaming platform. In fact, the viral leads us to believe that we are simply leading up to a new Nokia campaign of some kind as opposed to a handset announcement. We’re not sure exactly what lead The Nokia Blog to believe this is all tied to a new handset as the phone pictured above from the viral site is the 7610 Supernova. Hey, the more the merrier. Nokia typically hosts larger events when it announces Nseries devices, as opposed to a small dinner party. This would have to be an Nseries handset as it involves N-Gage, so this rumor has a lot less going for it than we would like. Crazier things have happened though and all will be revealed on Monday evening.

chris, you’re an idiot.
this phone looks nothing like it’s running symbian OS, given that, all other nokia phones are just phones. Why hype this one?
user i think this phone was already announced.
If anything, this is probably a new share service addition to Ovi, Flick, and Vox on the S60 phones. All signs point to a Facebook application as the teaser site is hinting at with those links. We’ve already seen the Facebook app on the 5800 XpressMusic demos and videos…this is probably just the official announcment.
