We have two pictures of a prototype model of Nokia Sabre, which appeared yesterday. The first one, strongly bleached, shows little beyond the general shape of the smartphone. The second one, with the colourful fractal in the display, reveals a bit more.
The first picture appeared yesterday, the second today. In the first we ca see screen of the Windows Mobile and general shape of the casing reminiscent of Nokia's touch-known structures: without revelation. At the top of the front panel should probably be the video call camera and proximity and light sensors.
In the second picture we can see even additional physical and tactile buttons at the bottom of the screen and front panel. There is visible windows button of reversing and search. Under the finger lies probably "home". Unfortunately, in the camera control application we can not see a switch to the front lens. This may indicate that the mesh on the front of the housing belongs exclusively to the sensors and the phone does not have the front camera.

A source close to Microsoft - which Pocketnow relies on - indicates that the phone has to have a processor with a clock of 1.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM, WVGA display, 3.5-inch and a camera with 5 megapixel sensor. The price would fluctuate in the range of 300-350 euros.
I always wonder what drives authors of the leaks. With the device in their hands they are not able to take photos of it from all sides and to give the full specification, even if it is a prototype - as in this case. A decent leak reveals everything, or at least much. Controlled leakage is for marketing purposes, in particular, sustaining interest in the product.
