We're not quite sure what to make of this, but it appears that the AccuWeather app for S60 5th Edition (http://www.engadget.com/tag/S605thEdition/) devices has gone ahead and leaked an unknown Nokia device -- the "Saga" -- which appears to be a sort of N97 Mini (http://www.engadget.com/tag/N97Mini/) Mini (two "Minis" on purpose there) that trades the tilting screen for a more traditional flat sliding one. As Symbian-Guru points out, Nokia itself doesn't typically assign names to its handsets -- it leaves that job to its carrier partners -- so this might simply be a branded version of one of the existing N97 variants, but naturally, the leaked device theory is juicier. At any rate, if this were to come Stateside, they might have a bit of trouble slipping it by Samsung since they've already got a Saga (http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/15/hands-on-with-the-samsung-saga/) in the mix here, so we'll be keeping an eye out for some blander N, E, or X series label if this gets real.Nokia 'Saga' accidentally outed in AccuWeather ad?
