Nokia prepping gaming phone for Monday?

Nokia prepping gaming phone for Monday?Nokia is potentially gearing up to launch another device at the start of next week, a new teaser shows. The page shows an image of what appears to be a 7610 Supernova but says the device will "unlock" by about 8PM on the 13th, suggesting an evening phone launch. Some members of the online media have also received an invite for a similar timeframe and have been told the event relates to N-Gage, though a series of promo videos connected to the event (shown below) don't mention the Nokia gaming service.

Speculation suggests that the phone may be a full Symbian Series 60 (S60) device rather than one of the company's regular, S40 devices, though the 7610 shown in the image is a standard S40 phone. Nokia has so far focused N-Gage on S60 handsets.

No recent leaks have pointed to an imminent Nseries phone launch. [viaThe Nokia Blog]
