Mark your calendars comrades, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be ripe for the picking starting December 5th. Ringing up at an even 15,000 rubles - which is hardly as expensive as it sounds (about $550) - Nokia’s first touchscreen-rocking S60 handset will indeed be ready and waiting to be snatched up for that special someone [...]

The 5800 XpressMusic is the first in a series of handsets that will feature the latest version of Nokia’s Symbian operating system, S60 5th Edition [...]

Oh well! It looks like T3 is the first one to post a brief review of the Nokia Tube. That’s Nokia’s touch screen S60 handset which they are announcing practically now. You know, the one we’ve all known everything there is to know about for something like least a year now? If you absolutely don’t [...]

Nokia fans, don’t start doing your victory dances just yet. Would an October 8th release of Nokia’s highly anticipated 5800 XpressMusic “Tube” make sense? Hardly. The Finnish Internet Company hasn’t yet officially announced the handset and the rumored date is only one month away. Does that mean it definitely won’t happen? No. JAMP cites a [...]

Ok seriously. If you’re going release some leaked handset shots on the internet and you know they’re going to spread like wildfire, the least you can do is hose that sucker off. Come on guys, it looks like Darryl Jenks got his hands on the Tube and Soul Glo-ed it all up. Whatever the case [...]

The origins of the image aboveare somewhat a mystery at this point but it has become a topic of interest none the less. Why, you might ask?

While the world waited with baited breath to tune in for every last word from the Apple keynote, live shots of three little Nokias crept out into the wild. The timing is very interesting. Perhaps even more interesting is the coincidence that two completely different sets of live N85 photos found their way onto the [...]

Just a few days before Apple dishes the official skinny on the upcoming 3G iPhone and puts an end to all of the rumors, photoshops and speculations (thankfully), S60 has issued an updated video showcasing the upcoming S60 Touch UI.
