Alleged shots of Nokia prototype Windows Phone 8 device leak, shows 54GB of storage

Declared photo of a Nokia prototype running Windows Phone viii

As we get closer to finding out almost Windows Phone 8, more leaks are expected to happen. Such is the case on WPXAP where some alleged shots of a Nokia Vertu Windows Phone have shown up.

Vertu was Nokia's "high cease" fashion phone division which is currently up for auction. The phone here, just partially displayed, shows Windows Phone viii Os including some new features like native "Deject Storage" (SkyDrive) support and what looks to exist a whopping 54GB of storage (some presumed information technology to exist a 64GB device).

The photos are reportedly only iii weeks old and the leaker alleges that Nokia now may not being selling the Vertu division equally evidenced by these photos. However, Nokia is reporting this moring that they have sold Verto to EQT VI.

Another interesting fleck leaked is that " existing models all can exist upgraded to WP8, but the role reduction (including the second generation functions) volition be reduced" (translation). That backs up the electric current thinking of many that indeed electric current phones tin run Windows Phone 8 but with more limited functionality e.k. no NFC or multi-cadre back up.

What makes all of this frustrating of course is we cannot even encounter the phone (and what nosotros tin can see looks...odd). Hopefully we'll run into more of what's coming this fall before long.

Edit: As many have noted in the comments, this is probably non a 64GB device only rather 32GB with SkyDrive being counted towards the full. The math works like this (Cheers, Anthony):

"A 32GB device would take 32 / 1024^3 * m^3 = 29.80GB If y'all add the 25GB on skydrive, you go 29.eighty+25 = 54.80GB, which is almost on the dot for the 54.72GB effigy."

Another interpretation is that this is added SD card memory equally WP8 will back up removable storage.
