Nokia Lumia 719 Shows Up at Bluetooth SIG, Launch Is Imminent

With less than a week left until Mobile World Congress 2012 kicks off, another Nokia Lumia smartphone surfaces online.

The Lumia 719 is the latest handset leaked from Nokia's roadmap for the first half of the year, though not many details are known for the moment.

The folks over at UnwiredView have recently spotted the phone at Bluetooth SIG, along with several specs. At first glance, Lumia 719 seems to have the same features as the Lumia 710, which might indicate that this is the latter's successor.

However, there's no telling whether Lumia 719 will come up with anything new in terms of hardware or software. It won't come as a surprise if this is delivered with Windows Phone Tango on board, but with the same specs sheet as Lumia 710.

Anyway, according to Bluetooth SIG documents, Nokia Lumia 719 is a “versatile, well-designed smartphone offering users easy and seamless to make the most of every moment, every day.”

Aimed at social networking aficionados, Lumia 719 features deep social networking integration, as the phone comes pre-loaded with Facebook, Twitter, as well as People Hub for optimized communications with contacts.

The smartphone has been confirmed to sport a 5-megapixel camera on the back with HD (720p) video recording and a decent 3.7-inch ClearBlack capacitive touchscreen display.

Furthermore, Nokia Lumia 719 will be delivered with exclusive content from ESPN and Univision. It will also feature Local Scout, Bing Search and “turn by turn” navigation via Nokia Drive.

It looks like Nokia Lumia 719 won't make it to Europe. Bluetooth SIG documentation confirms that the smartphone will only be available in Asia, North America and South America.

For the time being, it's unclear if Nokia plans to announce this budget friendly Windows Phone device at the MWC 2012, especially given the fact that the smartphone won't be available in Europe.
