The past few weeks have seen a flurry of reports on the specifications of Nokia's upcoming Bandit phablet (aka Lumia 1520), and the Sirius tablet PC (aka Lumia 2520). Now, a new rumour has surfaced that these Lumia devices would be launched next month.
Prolific twitter spy, @evleaks, has revealed that the speculated Nokia devices are certain to make their debut on 22 October. On the very same date, Nokia has already confirmed that it would hold an event in Abu Dabhi (UAE).
However, the Finnish firm is still remaining tight-lipped about the purpose of the 'Nokia World' event next month.
The serial twitter activist has also claimed that Nokia would release the 'Story Teller' application next month. To give weight to his claims, he posted the alleged screenshot of the app taken from the rumoured Lumia 1520 phablet. [To view the snapshot, click here]
