Nokia are obviously not doing a great job preventing those leaks as another of their handsets has been previewed well-ahead of its official announcement. This time it’s the Nokia C7 and even though the preview doesn’t give us all the details it gets clear that the C7 is a slightly trimmed-down Nokia N8, coming at a lower price.

Nokia C7 gets previewed

Despite his history of legal issues with Nokia, Eldar Murtazin from mobile-review.com posted a preview of the Nokia C7. The handset obviously takes the N8 base, but uses a cheaper body (plastic rather than anodized aluminum) and cuts down a few features . The major cut is the camera - 8MP and LED flash vs. the 12MP camera with xenon flash on the N8.

HDMI is also gone and the internal memory has been halved to 8GB. The rest of it is the same - 3.5″ nHD AMOLED, 680MHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 1200mAh Li-Ion battery and of course Symbian^3. The Nokia C7 also supports the latest local wireless connectivity - Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0 (which hit 10Mbit/s during testing).

The camera has been downsized to 8MP

Eldar Murtazin estimates that the Nokia C7 will be available in mid-October or November for 350 euro (based on the announced 370 euro price of the N8 with actual prices of around 450 euro for pre-order).

The QWERTY-enabled Samsung A927 Flight II has made its way to both Samsung’s and AT&T’s websites even it hasn’t been properly announced yet. Apparently, its premiere is just around the corner so we will get a chance to see it in flesh pretty soon.

Heavy texters will be glad to see the Samsung A927 Flight II hardware four-row side-slide QWERTY keyboard. In addition, the newbie also packs a 3-inch touchscreen of WQVGA resolution (240 x 400 pixels).

Also on board there is a 2-megapixel fixed-focus snapper which is capable of taking videos as well and a standard 3.5mm audio jack ready to accommodate your favorite headphones’ plug. Thanks to the microSD card slot you can expand the inbuilt memory (of 512MB) with up to 16GB.

The phone is said to support AT&T’s Mobile TV service and on top of that you get quick access to some of the most popular social networking services (such as Facebook and Twitter).

The unannounced Samsung A927 Flight II was spotted on both Samsung USA’s (overview and specs sheet) AT&T’s websites, however, there is still no word on the QWERTY-fied phone’s official launch date or price.

You’ve probably heard that T-Mobile USA are running a teaser site for their mysterious upcoming Android smartphone - the G2. These are the first shots of the device and we gotta say that for something that was supposed to continue the revolution started by its predecessor, it does look quite dull.

T-Mobile breaks loose

Anyways, it could be the blurry pictures alright, so let’s not pass anymore judgment before we see some better shots.

Update: Some more pictures of the T-Mobile G2 are available. Note that the screen doesn’t tilt, what you see in the picture is a broken sliding mechanism.

Obviously the smartphone is simply the US version of the rumored HTC Vision, as was rumored before. We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for new details.
