Nokia handset with 12-megapixel camera – real or faked?

We all know Nokia has been catching up with the other manufacturers in things like touch sensitive screens and devices coming with double-digit camera sensors. But the images of a 12-megapixel Nokia handset that recently appeared on Flickr are truly baffling, if not odd. The Carl Zeiss optics and protective cover are nowhere to be seen, plus flash is looks way too small, which is rather suspicious, because all high-end camera phones of the manufacturer sport double LED flash. On the ther hand, the back of the device looks stylish and made of metal, similarly to the E55 and E52. Can this be just another fakery crafted by a skillful prankster or what we see is an early prototype? We bet our bottom dollar it´s the former, but the source claims images were acquired from the Flickr account of Nokia Maemo team member. Or it´s just that someone appreciates a good laugh and doesn´t mind sending us on a wild goose chase... Now, where´s your 12-megaixel cell phone, Nokia?
