Nokia launches the 7210, 7310, 7510 and 7610 with a bang, say hello to the Supernova series

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:39:37 +0000

From most expensive to least expensive, here is what you need to know: The 7610 has the ability to capture a color with the camera and then apply that same, or roughly the same, color to the wallpaper and keypad of the device which I find totally freaking awesome and it reminds me of the Nokia [...]

European Nokia N78 users will be happy to hear that the latest firmware update for their N-series handset will be taking advantage of S60 3rd Edition's FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) capability to easily and conveniently update firmware components. That translates in to a PC-free update for Nokia N78 (Euro spec, of course) handsets in [...]

Nokia's new lineup of Supernova handsets is about to see the Nokia 7610 Supernova handset get real in the US.

The fashion-oriented Nokia 7610 Supernova and it's swappable [...]

Can't wait any longer to get your hands on a US-spec Nokia N78? Good, because Nokia's US 3G frequency-friendly Nokia N78 has just landed on Yankee shores with support for those all-important 850/1900Mhz 3G bands. With a 3.2 megapixel camera (Carl Zeiss optics, naturally), aGPS, HSDPA (again, US-friendly), and that trick illuminated keypad packed in [...]

Mobile handset manufacturers bringing Symbian together for new open-source mobile platform - Symbian OS, S60, UIQ united

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:06:35 +0000

With news that Google's Android-push will take just a bit longer than we would prefer, it's fitting that Nokia has just announced that it will be working to bring together the fragmented Symbian environment under a single, open-source umbrella. Nokia has been working closely with Symbian for years with S60 development, and it seems that the [...]

Nokia to launch 'Ad Labs'

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:06:24 +0000

Nokia is apparently going to open a series of "Ad Labs", to train traditional ad agency staff in the ways of mobile advertising - hopefully catalysing the relatively dormant sector. The Labs will open initially in those boltholes of Advertising, London, and Boston. Obviously we know that Nokia acquirted Enpocket last year to further it's [...]

It's the Nokia 8800 Arte Pink, which is made to be the high-society lady's ultimate companion. The special edition phone is made out of solid 18 carat [...]

German phone shop's poster shows Nokia 5800 Tube

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:59:42 +0000

Considering the fact that we covered every single tidbit of information about the iPhone, it's fair to do the same for the Nokia's iPhone killer/answer - 5800 Tube. We've already seen the device in the wild and have so far collected quite a bit of information about it. Not that we can stand behind every single [...]

Nokia E66, E71 almost here; Online demos appear for a moment

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:14:36 +0000

I'm not sure what's Nokia waiting. Why they don't finally announce the E66 and E71 smartphones yet? We've seen the two devices in the wild, official press photos, and the E66 even passed the FCC hurdle. Sure you may argue they need to complete all the documentation, support pages, prepare online demos… But wait, we've [...]

Apple clinches No. 3 spot in global smartphone market, RIM sees crazy growth, Nokia easily No. 1

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:36:50 +0000

With the highly-anticipate and quite polarizing Apple iPhone on the verge of making its second-generation debut next week, a new research report from Gartner has surfaced. The report puts Apple, with just a single iPhone model to boast of, in the No. 3 spot among global smartphone vendors for Q1 2008. Cupertino took broke into [...]

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:15:18 +0000

I'm going to be in Boston, Massachusetts this week with my colleagues from Nokia. We're going to have a party on the 5th from 20:00 to 22:30 at The Living Room. Free food, free booze, but more importantly you get to talk to actual Nokia employees and are able to pelt them with whatever questions [...]

Nokia 7310 known as "Supernova", available in China and Taiwan

Fri, 30 May 2008 21:20:07 +0000

The mirror-finished Nokia 7310 will apparently be branded as the "Supernova." The high-end sounding branding might lead you to believe that the Nokia 7310 is packed with more features than it really is, but keep in mind that a this good-looking mid-ranger is still just a tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM handset with EDGE serving up data [...]

Nokia N95 shrank then cloned

Fri, 30 May 2008 11:07:59 +0000

Now, we've seen quite a few fake Nokia N95 devices. However, this time Chinese handset makers cloners went one step beyond. The so called "MM95" is, you guessed that correctly, much smaller than the original device. However, it does keep the dual-sliding mechanism and therefore looks quite nice. Even though I shouldn't praise fake devices, [...]
