I heard a rumor from an installer that there will be a new Nokia M11 coming
out soon which will be targeted more towards the corporate market, with
in-built VPN capabilities etc. Has anyone heard anything simlar? I have
looked on Nokia's web site, but they don't even have reference to the M10!
(Is the M10 a rebranded version specially for Telecom?)
