Nokia Lumia 520 and 720 confirmed, announcement Monday




Here's confirmation, if confirmation was needed, that Nokia will be announcing two additions to its Lumia range of WP8 smartphones at a news conference on Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

It's a screengrab from the help pages of Nokia's own website.

That will boost the Lumia line up to five devices - 520, 620, 720, 820 and 920. Plus there could be a special version of the 920 released for the Verizon network in the UK, where AT&T has the exclusive on the current version.

You'll see the screengrab mentions HERE Maps. Nokia is expected to rebrand its Nokia Maps to - yup, you've guessed it - HERE Maps, with the addition of SilverSight which would include virtual-reality points of interest...a bit like the Nokia City Lens app.

Nokia already brands its maps HERE on iOS and on the web.

If you're wondering why the Lumia 520 doesn't have LiveSight on HERE Maps, it's because the device won't have an in-built compass, which is needed for LS to work.

There are still rumours that the company may launch a tablet running Windows 8, but that's still firmly rumour.
