Nokia certainly is keeping its devices division busy in the run up to the Microsoft sale. The company is rumoured to be making not one, but two Nokia Windows 8.1 phones, complete with James Bond-style codenames.

Ev Leaks reports that the company is working on both ‘Goldfinger’ and ‘Moneypenny’, with the former said to be the flagship model. Apparently it will feature ‘3D Touch’ technology that allows the phone to detect commands made off of the phone’s touchscreen. That would mean gestures made above and apparently at the sides of the device. Sounds pretty similar to Samsung’s Air Gestures, then.

Windows Phone 8.1 is currently still in development at Microsoft.
