After the 'official image leak' in Jan 2011, another blog spotted Nokia X700 on wild and revealed major specs. This new Nokia smartphone will have four speakers on the front panel to give extra-multimedia entertainment. This mobile has a 8 megapixel camera at rear, which is capable of recording HD videos.
