With new phones falling out of manufacturers rafters, any glimpse of something slightly out of the ordinary can stir much speculation. This is exactly what’s happened when Jay Montano over at mynokiablog.com reported on a sneaky shot of something new from Nokia.

In the picture a range of colored cases have been seen, with rumors batted around that it could be either the outer skin or accessory add-on for a Nokia N8 successor. All we can say is that whatever the device is, it looks as though it will pack quite a substantial camera judging by the gaping hole in the back.

Could this highlight a possible 12-megapixel camera, even True Zoom or Xenon Flash. As we reported just a week ago, a new Motorola XT928 featuring a massive 13-megapixel camera will be releasing sometime this month on China Telecom, so is the future of cameras?

Whilst we on the subject of Finnish company Nokia, we wanted to tell you about the new Nokia 701 that we reported on this morning. As well as refreshing you on it’s specs, we have given you an unlocked imported price. Click on the link above to find out more.

Seeing these curious images, are we over assuming what could be, or will our hopes of a N8 big brother come to fruition?
