Nokia (NOK) Produces 'Same Old' Smartphone for Windows; Shares Weaken

June 23, 2011 9:25 AM EDT
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is looking to impress investors and draw in crowds with -- drumroll -- the same old thing...!

Nokia has leaked (ala Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL)) a video showing CEO Steven Elop introducing its new Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows Phone 7 device to crowd.

Unsurprisingly, Elop's lovable demeanor requesting cameras to be shut off in a recent meeting (as seen in a BGR video) didn't get all (*wink*) the cameras to shut off upon request.

The phone? It's square, is black, and has a "pillow shaped backing," according to Elop. The design doesn't differ much from what Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), Samsung, or HTC have out there already.

BGR estimates there is either an 8- or 12-megapixel camera built into the device, with a notable shutter button.

Elop has previously stated the Windows phone is on track for release later in 2011.

Nokia shares are down about 4 percent ahead of the bell.
