Nokia 5230: 3G, GPS, low-cost

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Smartphones,

If you’re looking for an inexpensive phone that incorporates 3G and GPS into it’s arsenal (and, for whatever reason, don’t want the $99 iPhone 3G,) then the Nokia 5230 might be right up your alley. The 5230 has a 3.2 touchscreen, a microSD memory card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Symbian S60 Operating System. It also has a 2 megapixel camera - not fancy by any means, but hey, this is supposed to be a budget phone. We don’t have final pricing, but before subsidies, the phone costs $213.

Nokla E81: Phone or Compact? You decide.

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, Smartphones, Design, Rumors,

Nokia E81 I like it when mobile phone designers start thinking outside of the box, . It would appear that some knockoff designer from Nokla is trying for female appeal with their E81 concept, a phone that swivels like a compact. This creates a phone with less volume, for certain, and the back even has a mirror, perfect for those quick make-up checks and applications.

Nokia Denies Android Smartphone Development

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Handhelds, Rumors, Software,

Sorry to all you hopefuls out there, but Nokia won’t be releasing an Android-based smartphone later this year. Where would such a thought come from, you ask? Well, earlier this morning, The Guardian said it would happen, and that a Nokia Android phone would be announced in September. Seemed odd, since Nokia is the full owner of the Symbian OS, but stranger things have happened. However, soon after the article was posted, Nokia show it down anywhere they could, including on Twitter:

“re: Nokia’s rumored Android phone and you can quote me on this: We (Nokia) are NOT making an Android smartphone. Symbian is our platform…”

While we take most denials with a grain of salt, we believe them. At ease, Symbian fanatics.

Europe Chooses micro-USB Phone Charger Standard

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Peripherals,

Cell Phone chargers We wish that other places were as up to date technologically as Europe. Sony Ericsson, Nokia, RIM, Apple and other companies have joined with the European Union to standardize a universal USB cell phone charger next year. Not only will it be easier to only have one charger, it will be good for the environment. Phones built with the new standard in mind should start hitting European shelves next year.

Intel and Nokia to Collaborate on Electronics

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Corporate News, PC / Laptop,

Nokia/Intel Intel and Nokia are teaming to build better electronics. Intel wants to utilize their smaller, lower power chips for netbooks to be used in Nokia’s smartphones. The companies will also be collaborating on improving open-source software for mobile devices. The thinking is that having Intel inside Nokia phones will sell more of them. This may be, although no specific products have been announced thus far.

Nokia will finally begin shipping its N97 “Mobile Computer” this month to 75 countries, even though it began accepting pre-orders last month. The first batch will come packed with their Ovi Store. No specific countries were named, but we expect that North America and much of Europe will be on the list. Nokia VP Jonas Geust said that he is hoping it will be as successful as their N95, which has sold more than 10 million units during Q1 2009.

Nokia E52 Smartphone

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, GPS,

Nokia E52 Nokia has added a new smartphone to its E series. The E52 has lots of handy features including GPS, music player, social network links and browser. At a size of 116 x 49 x 9.9 mm, it has an incredible 8 hours of talk time and 28 days of standby. Exchange 2007 allows viewing and sorting emails with an auto-complete feature that enters contacts based on those sent and received. The handheld has a 3.2 megapixel cam, USB charging, Quickoffice editor and undoubtedly a pretty high price tag, but maybe you can deduct it as a business expense.

Nokia 5800 Star Trek Cell Phone

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Movies,

Nokia Star Trek Phone With all the hype from the new Star Trek movie, we figured it wouldn’t be long before someone came up with a Special Edition Phone. The Nokia 5800 Star Trek Edition is a basic 5800 with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 3.2 megapixel cam and GPS. The fun starts with the wallpapers, 8 ringtones and screensavers and ends with a Phaser application. Most of the major providers will carry the phone before you go see the flick May 8.
