Countdown to Nokia's new product announcement

Bonnie Cha | Dec 02, 2008

In the tech world, it's rare that a new product remains a complete secret from the prying eyes of gadget enthusiasts and bloggers, but somehow Nokia has done it. On Tuesday, in conjunction with the Nokia World 2008 Conference in Barcelona, Spain, the Finnish cell phone manufacturer will reveal a new device, and it's a complete mystery.

According to Robert Scoble, Nokia executives have been bragging that "the Internet has no clue" what it's about to announce, and that all guesses, including a new touchscreen cell phone (Engadget Mobile thinks it could possibly be a touch-based Communicator) have all been wrong. However, the popular thought seems to be that the gadget will be something to rival the Apple iPhone and T-Mobile G1.

OK, Nokia, we'll bite. The announcement is planned for Tuesday at 12.15am PST. Nokia has also set up a countdown site so you can be notified of the news. Any guesses as to what the mystery product could be?

We'll have all the details for you Tuesday afternoon in Asia, as our own CNET Asia senior editor Reuben Lee patiently counts down over in Barcelona at Nokia World 2008 Conference for the mystery unveiling. Click here for the latest updates.
