Nokia could unveil four phones in less than a week. Clues point to a quartet of new Windows Phone 8 devices in the Lumia line-up, including the already-rumoured Lumia 520 and 720.

The unknown phones have appeared in logs for US network Verizon, spotted by Windows app wonk Alan Mendelevich. The gang of mystery blowers consists of the Nokia RM-914, RM-885, RM-887 and RM-860.

The first two phones we have an idea about. The Nokia RM-914 appears to be the Lumia 520, and the RM-885 the Lumia 720. Word on the street is that the Lumia 520 will be a 4-inch dual-core phone that slides into the budget end of the Lumia line-up.

The 720, meanwhile, is expected to be a 4.3-inch dual-core mid-range model, nestling logically between the Lumia 620 and Lumia 820.

Could one of the other phones be the rumoured Nokia EOS PureView camera-focused phone? One thing we're not expecting to see is a Windows 8 tablet from Nokia, but hey: never say never. 

We'll see Nokia's new phones first thing on Monday at Mobile World Congress, the annual phone fiesta where mobile manufacturers, networks, and other telephonic types gather in Barcelona to show off this year's phones. We'll be there in force, so keep it CNET for all the essential news, previews and videos of the coolest new phones, tablets and other mobile hotness.
