It looks like Nokia Normandy can be handled in two completely different ways. If you haven’t guessed it yet, it’s Nokia Normandy leak time.

New screenshots showing the Metro/Android UIs have just been published by @evleaks and from what we can see, the Normandy will allow users to operate it differently according to their preferences.

The Metro UI is probably aimed at Windows Phone enthusiasts, while the "forked" Android UI at Google’s fans. More importantly, it appears that Normandy will run Android applications without problems.

The screenshots show some apps, which are not yet available on Windows Phone platform, such as BlackBerry Messenger (BBM).

The pictures also confirm, once again, that Nokia Normandy will offer dual-SIM support, which means that it will be released in emerging markets initially.

Rumor has it that the Normandy will be officially unveiled in late March as Asha 1045, but for the time being, no additional details on release date have been leaked, so stay tuned for more on this.
