These are actually a good and clear leak, although there isn’t any description put together with the photos. The Nokia N79 looks like another 3G phone from Nokia, coms with a Carl Zeiss camera lens (the megapixel wording is too blur for us to determine). 2 flash LEDs will help you in low light photography, the camera lens is protected by a lens cover too.


The next leak is the familiar Nokia “tube”, the new S60 touch UI which is available in year 2009. It should be the first S60 touch UI phone from Nokia and will be featuring a wide screen with 16:9 ratio. It will support quad band network, come with built in bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA/UTMS to give you a complete wireless package. The touch UI in this prototype do not support multitouch, but does have haptic feedback when you touch the screen.

This model is called Nokia 5800 XpressMedia according to flickr, you can also see a 3.2 megapixel camera at its back with auto focus capability. It will be on its way to Vodafone customer, probably for users in Europe.
