Recently, Nokia had announced their new C series phones. These phones include the dual SIM ability, but being low-end phones of C Series, they lack features like a High Quality Camera or Symbian OS.

• Nokia Symbian^3 update glimpsed with new homescreen and interface...
• Nokia C7 out ahead of official launch, priced at Rs. 19,490
• Nokia World 2010: Nokia shows off 3 new Symbian^3 devices,...

Yesterday, a rumour about another C Series Nokia phone has surfaced and this time, with a few pictures as proof. The new Nokia C7-00, if the rumours are to be believed, is a new Symbian 3 phone which maybe launched by Nokia in the near future. The phone is also rumoured to have an 8MP Camera with LED Flash, Face Detection, 3.5 Capacitive Touch Screen, Multi Touch Support and Stereo Speakers. To support the rumour, some pictures of the phone have also been leaked.

In the pictures, we can make out that a front video-call camera is visible near the top of the screen. It looks like the size of the touch-screen is about 3.5 inches and the call receive/end keys are also touch based. Also, it is clearly visible that the Nokia C7 has music keys and a camera shutter key too. Similar to the N8, the C7 doesn’t follow the trend of Nokia’s previous full-touch smartphones in terms of design, and it might not be what Nokia fans are expecting from a new high-end handset. Unlike it's recently announced nearest sibling - the Nokia C6 model - it lacks a QWERTY keypad and is a full touch operated phone.

So far, no word has been heard regarding Nokia C7 from Nokia officially, but we will probably not see it in stores before the Nokia N8. Mobile insider Eldar Murtazin has claimed it is real and speculates the price to be around 270 Euros.
