Nokia unveils 'interesting' phone

Nokia, the world's largest cellphone maker, will this week unveil an "interesting" phone to strengthen its product and service offerings.

"There's going to be some interesting hardware," said Udo Szabo, a senior manager for Nokia's service business, in a speech at a Mobile Monday industry networking event.

Analysts expect Nokia to unveil new smartphones at the annual Nokia World media and industry conference in Barcelona today. The expected launch has created a buzz on the Internet, but unlike many other mobile phone announcements, no pictures of the new products have been leaked.

On Monday, Nokia added a countdown timer to the Internet page for Nokia World, something which has in the past indicated the company's major announcements.
