The Nokia N75 is the newest edition to the NSeries lineup. A folding handset offering music, photos, web access and of course the ability to connect a call. Aside from the occasional call, the use of media appears to be the focus of the device, with Nokia giving easy access to the media player on the phones cover. More►
Announced today as a Cingular “exclusive”, the Nokia E62 is the US version of the Nokia E61. Before the question is raised or the title given, by no means will we even consider this device a “killer” of any sort.
It may be the start of a new “tier” for smartphones, being somewhat barebones even though it is priced higher ($149.99) than the Motorola Q was when it went on sale, but “killer” it is not. More►
Well just about a month ago, BigBerries posted photos of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition. Not much has changed since our 1st post. The price still sits close to 1100 EURO, even though Nokia is stating 1000 EURO. Just remember that suggested price is before taxes and subsidies.
Brian Eno gets big praise for providing the “soundtrack” for the phone, which I’m sure ambient music lovers will enjoy, the rest of the free world will probably want to swap that for Fergie’s “London bridge” or Beyonce’s “Ring the Alarm”.
Nokia says it will pull itself from next years consumer electronics orgy held in Germany. CeBIT is by far Europe’s biggest and baddest tech fair, but Nokia always doing its best to stay one step ahead of the pack, will be pulling out. Other industry heavyweights snatched their names from the hat of listed attendees, including Philips and Canon. After breakout of the story Nokia issued a statement via spokeperson to make it clear that the company will make some appearances during their 2007 World Tour, most notably at 3GSM 2007. The decision to withdraw from CeBIT came after review of Nokia marketing activites. Known reasons behind the move include making a concerted effort on Nokia events such as Open Studio.
The next phone set to beguile you away from your mortgage payment, according to the good people over at Nokia is the Vertu Constellation. Release date is said to be somewhere in October and there is no price, which somewhat kills the whole affordable thing. Just take it to mean that it will cost considerably less than the Vertu, but probably more than a Nokia NSeries. 3 models to choose from, all using luxe materials. More►
The Nokia 8800, only the Motorola RAZR has more variations. This newest version of the ultra stylish Nokia 8800 does receive a facelift and a newly designed keypad. Word is this information is still unofficial and it seems Nokia has pulled the updated design photos of 8800 from its German website, which used to be here. Aren’t you happy these were snatched?
While Nokia is playing cat and mouse an online retailer let the pricing info out of the bag, supposedly 1100 EURO’s. Silver 8800′s are done, so we’ll gladly take the new sexy black Sirocco edition.
Transformers the movie is scheduled for release next year but Nokia gives us a preview with the NSeries N93. It twists and turns its form factor four different ways to keep you connected as well as entertained.
As with others from the NSeries lineup the N93 has a powerful camera, with Carl Zeiss lenses, ample video functionality and enough expandable memory space for your mobile media needs.
The wireless LAN and the S60 web browser are a great combination when you don’t feel like breaking out the laptop and need quick web access.
The next logical step after being spotted on the FCC website for the Nokia N73 was to be released to the wanting masses. As far as trhe NSeries goes, the Nokia N73 holds a firm position among the other devices.
The Nokia N73 has a 3.2 megapixel camera, video stream, capture and edit functions, hot swappable miniSD and the SymbianOS with 3rd Edition S60. Nokia also packed in a QVGA 262k display coming in just under 2 and a half inches. Available in 3G or quadband GSM/EDGE and able to handle both video and music, the Nokia N73 has enough of all the right features and will sit at the perfect price point for the tweeners.
When Nokia held the Open Studio in Berlin back in April (1,2), I must admit I didn’t really know what to think of the verbage Nokia was so intent on throwing around. The term “multimedia computer” was unloaded over and over again. Here we are in July and today the Nokia N73 and the N93 multimedia computers have been released. While the NSeries devices are wonderful, I think the term “multimedia computer” is going to be confusing for buyers, especially with UMPC’s being released and the basic fact that when people think Nokia, they think phones. Using phrases like “multimedia computer” is not going to change that. More►
