Tech fans could be tempted to trade in phones and get their hands on the new Nokia C6-01, which could be available in the UK as early as next month.

Various sources have reported that the handset - which may be launched in mid-September following this year's Nokia World congress - could be powered by the all-new Symbian 3 operating system (OS).

The origin of this rumour is thought to be a Bulgarian website, which posted images of the C6-01 running the OS, although these pictures were apparently quickly removed.

It is also thought that the smartphone will feature an eight-megapixel camera and a large touchscreen display, both factors which may appeal to people mulling over whether or not to trade in phones.

Another long-awaited Nokia handset, the N8, may also finally see the light of day at some point in the near future. The device is set to be launched in September in the US, although a UK release date has yet to be confirmed.
