According to a report in The Verge, the previously leaked, mysterious Nokia Normandy is an Android handset. Known internally under several different codenames, the device is said to be developed as an equivalent to the low-cost Nokia Asha range.

The Nokia Normandy allegedly runs heavily modified Android version – much like in the case of the Amazon Kindle Fire range. The OS will allow the handset to run popular Android apps, thus addressing a major shortcoming of the current Nokia Asha lineup.
The Nokia Normandy development is described as going at “full steam ahead”. The handset is reportedly planned for a release in 2014. However, with Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia's devices & services units all but completed, we are yet to find out what the Redmond giant’s plans for the Normandy are.

I guess they finally realized what's good for them... Just wish that this could have happened before Micro$haft acquired them... :evil:

Nokia Normandy .Nokia A110 .. yo yo :D



if you've been following the news lately,
then you might have come across the
rumors about Nokia working on an Android
phone of some sort. The Nokia Normandy,
as it is being referred to, is believed to be a
rather modest handset running a highly
modified variant of Google's mobile OS.
Also, it might have been already scrapped
according to recent reports.
Yet not long ago, the reliable source known
as @evleaks suggested that the Nokia
Normandy project might actually be still
alive and kicking . And he could be on the
right track now that we seem to have
benchmark data for Nokia's rumored
Android device.
The hardware data for a phone labeled as
the Nokia A110 appeared on AnTuTu,
indicating that the handset has a
Snapdragon processor, a 5MP camera, and
a screen with a resolution of 854 by 480
pixels. Furthermore, the tested device runs
Android 4.4.1, according to the leak. That's
all in terms of specs that the screenshots
reveal.
Of course, having all this information does
not guarantee that this alleged Android
phone by Nokia will ever materialize. We
could be looking at test data from a
scrapped prototype device of some kind.
But of course, today's leak also suggests
that Nokia is not totally against launching an
Android phone of its own. Guess we'll just
have to wait and see what's in Nokia's plans,
but if the Nokia Normandy is meant to see
the light of day, than we might get to see it
in the flesh next month at MWC.

If Nokia had entered the Indian market with android before..the likes of Samsung and Sony would have still been stuck behind.

Maybe its one of those prototype models that we'll never see them in retail versions. Companies make a lot of it and some of it stay behind. That's a possibility.

its just a rumour guys.microsoft will take over nokia in few weeks and do you think microsoft will produce android phone,that will be the most stupid thing to think of lol.where as nokia producing android smartphone outside microsoft that ain't happening because nokia cannot produce any mobile phone with nokia brand for next 2 years according to the contract.so just don't build up your hopes for a mobile which won't see the light of day.:wink:
it seems like someone got hold of this rumour and now they are feeding it maqking it big.wasting everyone's time.
heck we already have so many android smartphone manufacturers selling mobile phones so darn cheap,yeah i know competation reduce prices but i don't see competition reducing prices of the phone even less as they are aleady selling pretty cheap.
about that normandy prototype my opinion is ,it actually looks ugly with that big bezel at the bottom but its just my opinion,no hard feelings.:p
