    Lumia 800/900 in Wind Banner Ad?

    Take a look at this Wind ad I just took a screenshot of on MobileSyrup. It sure looks like a Lumia 800 or maybe 900 to me, certainly not the 710. When I clicked the link it took me to the generic 'Hottest Phones' landing page with no sign of any Nokia, not even the 710. Also note the $199 Windtab price; the 710's tab price is $0 or $99. AFIK, there hasn't been an AWS 800 released at all yet.
    So what do you guys think... is this a total mistake or is it a leak that means the 800 or 900 will be released on Wind soon?

    Interesting... That's a Lumia 800, recognizable due to the extra black space under the soft buttons:

    So I'd say it's most likely a fluke, since the 800 doesn't support AWS...

    Probably some marketing intern did a google image search for Lumia and stole this one:

    Wouldn't be the first time. Remember how they had an iPhone image when they launched?

    Well, the 900 doesn't support AWS either, and the 710 is much less than $199 on the tab.

    Someone at Wind obviously made a mistake, but it might not be in the way you expect. This wouldn't be the first time a carrier slipped up and advertised a phone before it was announced.

    You think Wind is launching the 800?

    Who knows - why not? I wouldn't put it past Nokia to make an AWS version of the 800. Just because something doesn't exist right now doesn't mean it can't ever exist. Nokia's overlords in Redmond want Windows Phone in as many hands as possible, and adding AWS to the 800 would help.

    When I used to work at Bell our advertisements showed a BLACK Blackberry Pearl 8100 when we only sold an AMETHYST Blackberry Pearl 8130.

    Marketing fails happen regularly.
