Nokia to get a major upgrade?
With all the MWC news lately coming on behalf of Google’s Android, RIM’s Blackberry and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 7, it really got me thinking…. where is Nokia in all this? So I took it upon myself to find out and what do you know, I found something within the walls of Engadget. It turns out our Symbian powered buddies are about to get a pretty powerful processor upgrade, by ways of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor. Not sure what Snapdragon is?, well the Snapdragon platform offers an unprecedented combination of processing performance and optimized power consumption for the new generation of smart mobile devices, in laymen terms. It allows your phone to run at its fullest potential without so much of that awful battery drain. Excited eh? Well, according to Qualcomm’s CEO Paul Jacobs the device should hit the market mid 2010, but no exact date was given.
What do you think? Excited about Nokia getting a Snapdragon upgrade? Let us know!
