Image of Nokia's 'Sea Ray' reveals virtual buttons? We're not so sure.

Curious thing: during the leaked video of the Nokia's 'Sea Ray' Windows Phone, we actually never run into the three-buttons for Back, Win and Bing Search. This pb to the natural speculation that there would be capacitive buttons, like other Windows Phones.

A new image has come up forth though of the device and information technology shows, in fact, that there may be 'virtual buttons' meaning they are on the screen. Simply instead of taking up the 800x480 real-estate, they are probably using an 854x480 screen, much like the N9 that this then closely resembles.

A few words of caution though:

1. Our own Richard Edmonds questions its authenticity--there'due south no glare on the button surface area, though there is a glare above and below them (meet image beneath)
2. Those buttons look similar the WP7 emulator'due south, large fourth dimension. Very suspicious.
3. It certainly looks "off" plus it's probably only a mock up someone fabricated
4. Assuming information technology'southward true, this is far from finalized hardware and 'prototype' needs to exist used here
5. Nokia however has a lot of time to change or alter the design

At this point, we're non confident that this is legit, or if it is real, not last. Either way, we're not crazy near the precipitous corners of 'Ocean Ray'. There's a reason why the Focus feels so squeamish in the hand (and fifty-fifty the LG Breakthrough) and it has to practise with the smoothness of the design.

If these virtual buttons are here to stay, it's non too much different than capacitive buttons, but nosotros're non crazy about the idea. Finally, this looks more like the 'Bounding main Ray' is only a modified N9 rather than a "basis up" Nokia Windows Telephone, making it slightly less interesting, in our stance.

Update: Reader swc_ant has a nice comment based off his experience working on phone hardware. We concur with his assesment that it's a sticker/record serving every bit a place holder.

An net connection will soon exist required when setting up Windows xi Pro

Microsoft has announced that later this year, users will be required to connect to the cyberspace and sign-in with a Microsoft Account during the out of box setup experience on Windows xi Pro. Microsoft has already been enforcing this requirement on Windows 11 Habitation since launch last Oct, and Windows 11 Pro is now expected to follow suit presently.
