UPDATE: It could be the Nokia N8 folks! We�ve just confirmed that the countdown is indeed for a separate event from the Carpe Diem app. We�ll be bringing you coverage of it as it happens so be sure to check in at 9am tomorrow.
The Nokia N8 flagship Symbian 3 phone is hotly tipped to launch this month, but it could arrive as soon as tomorrow. How do we know? Nokia�s running a mysterious countdown page right now, and it ends in under 24 hours� time.
Head on over to http://events.nokia.com/everyoneconnect and you�ll see a countdown timer under the banner �Everyone connect�, that ends at 9am tomorrow, UK time. We�ve also received an invite to the online event from Nokia, which packs a mysterious speech bubble, suggesting some form of messaging news. Could this be a Nokia N8 with newly integrated instant messaging and social networking?
Needless to say, we�ve had a rummage around the source code on the Nokia countdown page, but there�s no reference to a Nokia N8. But we�ve got our fingers crossed, since it�s been nearly a year and a half since Nokia outed its last flagship Symbian phone, the N97. The Nokia N8 has to happen soon, or MeeGo will arrive and blow Symbian 3 out of the water before it can even get underway.

We�ve got our fingers crossed it�s a Nokia N8 announcement, but it could be one other thing: the launch of a �Carpe Diem Daily� app, which Nokia is hosting with The School Of Life from 8.30am in London tomorrow also. It�s supposedly a �life-enriching� new mobile phone app, but we�ve also received a separate invite for this, and it seems strange that one would spill the beans on what to expect, while the other ramps up the hype with secrecy.
We�ve asked Nokia for clarification and will update when we hear back.
