For those who have managed to remain completely unaffected by the current state of the global economy - and who really dig Kung Fu - this may be the best thing to happen to you since your money. Nokia China has just made a special edition N96 available and it packs all kinds of punch [...]
These days, it seems staying green and environmentally friendly is on the top of everyone’s list. People drive hybrids, recycle their gadgets (the non-sentimental ones, anyway) and conserve where they can. To help consumers, and the planet, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG Electronics have teamed up to make a common rating system for [...]
It looks like Strands on the go isn’t just for iPhones anymore. We’ve covered the Strands team’s work before - you know, the guys behind MyStrands Social Player and a variety of recommendation-based services. Strands has not-so-secretly been working on a social networking showcase of its recommendation technology for a while now and not too [...]
We’re not sure if anxious Spaniards will be more or less upset by this news, but we now have an explanation of the massive 54% premium found on Nokia Spain’s pre-order page for the 5800 XpressMusic. Like it or not, the extra €150 can be accounted for as follows: a mandatory €100 Nokia Music Store [...]
There it is people, looking sexy as ever - we can only hope that the “X” doesn’t stand for “Xtra crippled”. It looks like we’re now pretty close to seeing AT&T formally announce the E71, rebranded as the E71x, as a welcome addition to its smartphone line. The 6650 made it through the AT&T branding [...]
In a move that has been very long in the making, Rogers has officially acknowledged that it will be carrying the Nokia E71 in the near future. With the N95 8GB being such a huge seller, Rogers is hoping that the E71 will prove to be popular not only with consumers who are seeking a [...]
Granted, The Boston Globe basically tossed up a bunch of softballs but it still gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling any time Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, or OPK as he is affectionately nicknamed, simply utters the words “US market”. It lets us know that somewhere, somehow, Nokia does in fact still remember that Americans use cell [...]
It took a third-party developer to bring push HTML email support to the world’s most popular smartphone OS. We’re not sure how to feel about that but the bottom line is Dataviz has done what no one else could do to this point with the latest version of its widely-acclaimed Roadsync solution. Roadsync is not [...]
European countries seem to be getting all the little surprises these days. First Germany gets its hands on the BlackBerry Curve 8900 with no warning and now Spain gets a little treat of its own - kind of. Here’s the good news: Nokia’s Spanish site has just unexpectedly made the 5800 XpressMusic available for pre-order. [...]
Sure, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see Seinfeld score another easy $10 million like he did from Microsoft but it would definitely be an interesting ad run. Nokia is a big company with a big budget and even bigger problems. In 2008, the Finnish giant watched in horror as its smartphone market share dropped by [...]
Our Verizon ninjas have certainly been doing some damage lately and they’re clearly not done yet. What do we have for you this time - how about the upcoming Verizon Wireless Rebate sheet that covers the holiday season from 11/16/08 through 1/31/09? Several of the upcoming rumored handsets including the Samsung Saga and Omnia and [...]
No, the Nokia 6650 is most certainly not the most capable S60 smartphone out there. Truth be told, it’s probably not even in the top 20. Today’s announcement from AT&T that the 6650 is now official and available nation-wide is still huge news for Symbian fanatics here in the US because it represents what will [...]
Well, what do we have here? It seems as if it’s a never before seen Nokia handset! We don’t have a name to call it other than the internal codename, “Wahoo,” but what we can do is recap some of the specs of the device for you…
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/1900MHz)
There’s two displays, one internal and [...]
