Nokia have left hints on its facebook page about the Lumia 800 is coming in white. No release date has been made available as yet, but early indications are its coming in the next few weeks. Slashgear have had a ‘hands on’ with the handset, It’s specs are identical to the other Nokia Lumia 800 phones, except for a white polycarbonate outer shell.
At first glance you could be fooled into thinking it is a Windows Phone, but once you look more closely you can see that the pictures are indeed fake, I’ll tell you why I think they are fake…
There are no hardware buttons (Back, Windows & Home)
The Messaging icon is incorrect (the smiley is on its side in the speech bubble)
The camera button is incorrect (there is a lump on the top of the camera in wp7)
There is no hardware buttons for the camera (unless its well hidden)
The hardware shows ‘Xperia’ on the bottom
Prototypes from Sony tend to have the text printed on the handset, Not on a sticker!
The above video shows a ‘quick’ hack using Kinect beta SDK and a Windows Phone 7.
The Kinect detects the viewer’s position in relation to the projected image, then adjusts the output accordingly to create a glasses-free 3D image onto any surface.
The Windows Phone controls the zoom in and out, the helecopter’s elevation and angle allowing you to move the helecopter around the virtual play-space and as Kinect is detecting your position, the displayed image always shows incredible depth.
