Nokia W8 is rumored to be the successor to its Nokia N8. It will be running Windows Phone 7. Design-wise, it's to be rehauled completely. This high-end device aims to be the most powerful WP7 phone in existence when it hits the market. Currently, a powerful Qualcomm dual-core chip with Adreno 320 graphics is in the plans, but since Nokia's relationship with Qualcomm is not well established, there is some uncertainty about the hardware.
