Forbes's claims would not be simple evaluations, but are based on information received from well informed sources.Forbes says that it will be literally at least one device belonging to the segment of the market high-end. In light of the many rumors that we have collected and reported during the past few weeks, the circle seems to shrink around two devices. 

The first is the version of Lumia 900 reserved for our market, with the possible variation of the model with 12 megapixel camera ( recently denied by Damian Dinning ), the second is the presumed heir to the Nokia N8 , which should continue to use the platform Nokia Fine.

The supplier was only able to provide one further detail: The handset offered ”an unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones.”
