Unwired View:

Nokia N99 pictures and soaped-up specs may have been a fantasy and Photoshop skill show-off by some eager fan. But then again, it may have not.

Recent patent filing shows that Nokia is indeed working on a slider phone with QWERTY keyboard and numeracial keyboard:

I’m still calling shenanigans on the N99 picture since the screenshot of the word processor is obviously copied from Microsoft Office 2003. Not to mention the huge departure from Finnish design and other Nokia phones:
