However, a WiMAX version of the N810 will be coming next year.

The Nokia N810 is powered by Maemo Linux based OS2008, featuring a highly customizable user interface and contains various novelties such as a Mozilla based browser with Ajax and Adobe Flash 9, Bluetooth headset support as well as enhanced video and audio features. The Mozilla browser provides access to all web sites a standard web browser would provide access to, including sites like Facebook and Youtube.

The media player provides direct access to shared media over Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Nokia claims a music playback time of 10 hours; continuous usage (display on, wireless LAN active) of up to 4 hours; always online time of up to 5 days; and standby time of up to 14 days.
The refreshed Video Gizmo, Skype and Rhapsody highlight some most popular downloads available while Boingo Wireless, Earthlink and The Cloud enable Wi-Fi connectivity across thousands of different locations globally.

Nokia new N810
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic First Impressions
Good (For Now)
- Size: I love the size. It’s not too thick, and not too big either. Weighty enough to know that you’re carrying without being a burden a la N97 or (shudder) N90.
- Build quality: Even though the 5530 XpressMusic is mostly made of plastic, like the 5800, it looks and feels a heck of a lot better. The material on the front is some kind of metallic plastic, and Nokia changed the back cover from the rubbery 5800 cover to a smoother plastic. Overall the phone feels extremely solid.
- Snappy interface: Yes, it’s still Symbian S60 Fifth Edition. But the whole experience feels snappier than say, the N97, thanks to some slick transitions.
- Speakers: Thank you, Nokia, for not screwing this up. The speakers sound just as good as the 5800’s, and that’s a huge plus.
- Touch-screen: The 5530 uses a resistive touch-screen, but it feels pretty sensitive. More sensitive than the 5800.
Bad (For Now)
- Slowdowns: they’re rare, but they happen – most notably when scrolling through songs while playing a track in the Music Player.
- Kinetic scrolling: it’s in most places, but Nokia left it out in the folder view. Strange that no one picked that up.
- Virtual keyboard: the keyboard is better with iPhone/Android-esque pop-up letters, but still flawed. Instead of recognizing keypresses *as you’re pressing the keys*, the keyboard only recognizes something when you press and let go.
Overall, I’d have to say I’m impressed. I like the 5530 XpressMusic, and while the 5800XM had more desirable features (GPS, Carl Zeiss, 3G, etc), I prefer the 5530.
Nokia X6
Music just got a whole lot more interesting, with the introduction of the Nokia X6. 3.2-inch touchscreen? Check. 32GB of storage? Check. 35 hours of music playback? You guessed it, that’ll be a check. Did we mention the blow-your-mind design? We’ve only just clapped eyes on the sleek and sexy X6 and already we can’t keep our peepers off it.
At a touch under 14mm thin, it’s slim frame packs plenty of power and will leave music lovers in no doubt as to how they’ll be listening to music on the move when the device goes on sale this side of Xmas. What’s more, the Nokia X6 is a Comes with Music device which means you’ll be able to tune into as much all-you-can-hear music as you like without having to spend a penny extra.
Nokia-X6-2The 3.2-inch widescreen display is optimised for photos and videos, proving the Nokia X6 is more than just a musical masterpiece. Pack 20 friends onto your homescreen, along with communities such as Facebook and it’s also a fully connected social butterfly.
Did we mention the 35 hours of music playback? Well what about 16 days standby time, a 5-megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash, TV-out, video editing, online sharing, Nokia Music store, full web browser and Flash Lite support. Still want more? Okay then, A-GPS, Ovi Maps and Playlist DJ. If you fancy a bit of gaming, then Spore is included, along with DJ Mix Tour and Asphalt4. Phew.
The addition of this device to Comes with Music takes music on the move into a totally new dimension. And we’re pretty excited about it.

The Nokia N900 For $542.59
Prices for Nokia’s N900 mega-smartphone are dropping fast, and the phone hasn’t even been released! You can choose to preorder the N900 at NokiaUSA for the retail price of $649.00 (+ tax but you get a free Bluetooth headset), you can preorder the phone at Amazon for $582.99, OR you can now get it from Buy.com for $542.58. Yep, $542.58.
Let’s see how the math works out.
Buy.com Price: $559.99
4% Bing Cashback: -$22.40
2-Day Shipping: +$5.49 (you can opt for regular shipping for 4.99)
—
= $542.59 with 2-day shipping.
How to Get the Deal
You’ll need to go through Bing.com first: Direct Link or go through Bing Cashback (click on the B link to show all stores that start with B, then scroll down to the bottom)
After you either create a Bing cashback account or login with your current account, it’ll take you to the Buy.com home page. Just search for “nokia n900″ and it should be the first result.
Like other retailers, Buy.com hasn’t provided a release date. Note that if you preordered through Amazon you can still easily cancel it.
This may or may not be worth it for you. Amazon’s customer service and return policy is legendary, while Buy.com’s cs department isn’t quite as highly regarded (reseller rating of 4.17/10 compared to Amazon’s 6.51). I already preordered it at Amazon, so I have to admit it’s tempting.
Nokia E90 Mobile Review
Nokia E90 Communicator is a 3G smartphone made by Nokia and the latest model of the Communicator series. It was announced in February 2007 at the 3GSM show in Barcelona.
The first Nokia E90 unit was sold in an auction in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 17, 2007 for Rp. 45,000,000 (5,000 US$).[1] Indonesia being one of the largest market share for Nokia's communicator series is cited as a reason for the unit's first launch location.[2]
E90 starts the fifth generation of Nokia's communicators, and also introduces a new platform to Nokia's communicator line, Series 60 v3. Previous communicators have been based on either GeOS or Series 80. E90 is also the first Nokia communicator to have UMTS/HSDPA connectivity and integrated GPS. It features OSGi and eRCP, Eclipse RCP for embedded systems.
Early user-feedback and reviews highlighted a defect in the microphone of Nokia E90. According to a review on consumer review website MouthShut.com,[3] the Nokia E90 was recalled from dealers as a result of the problem. This resulted in delivery delays worldwide. Nokia initially denied the existence of the defect, but it was later acknowledged by Nokia Europe, and addressed in the Q3 earnings report released on October 18, 2007,[4] stating that the issue has now been fully resolved. Early phones sold in Belgium offered a choice of English, Dutch or Romanian but not French language.
Firmware version 7.40.1.2, released in late October 2007, added support for A-GPS, intended to enhance GPS performance in poor signal conditions, such as in city streets overshadowed by buildings. This version also upgraded the Maps application. As of June 2009[update] the most recent firmware version is 400.34.93.
By new firmwares, some users experience Bluetooth, wlan and radio problems. Some users report that , after installing new firmwares, bluetooth can not be turned on, wlan can not find access points and radio reboots device whenever turned on. Nokia does not accept this problem. The devices under garanty coverage are replaced by Nokia but, others are solutionless and can not be repaired. For reference please google "E90 Bluetooth problem"

Nokia Mobile E71x review
The Nokia E71x is an easy phone to recommend for business users looking for a powerful device in an attractive, slim shell. It's one of the better smartphones on the market, and certainly its near the top of AT&T's lineup. The interface could use a serious overhaul to make it more convenient, intuitive and downright pretty, and AT&T did little to improve this phone from the unlocked Nokia E71 besides adding a raft of trial software and carrier-specific extras.
Still, the phone does a very good job at nearly everything, with e-mail, Web browsing and call handling as standouts. At twice the price, this would be a good choice, but with a starting bid of $100, we think AT&T and Nokia have a winner on their hands. Release: May 2009. Price: $100.
Pros: Slim design makes it the coolest smartphone in its class. Great value. Very good Web browsing and GPS features.
Cons: Multimedia functions lag behind all others. Already stodgy Symbian interface not improved by AT&T bloatware. Mediocre camera.

Nokia offers two new music phones, Facebook applications
Nokia, lagging behind Apple Inc.’s iPhone on applications, unveiled new devices that will let users do more on Facebook and get greater access to music.
The world’s largest mobile-phone maker unveiled the N97 mini, a cheaper version of its top-end phone that will allow users to post their location on Facebook.
It also announced two new music phones, the X6 and X3, and pledged to form more partnerships with software companies.
According to Bloomberg News, Nokia had 45 percent of the smart-phone market in the second quarter, researcher Gartner Inc. said. That’s down from 62 percent in 2005. Smart-phone sales are estimated to increase 27 percent to 170 million units bringing in revenue of $57 billion this year, it said.
Users look to smart phones for content including movies, video, pictures, Web sites, Facebook and other features. Apple has more than 50,000 applications available for all iPhone and iPod Touch models.
Nokia’s new N97 mini will come with “social location” capabilities, permitting users to post their locations in Facebook status updates along with geographically linked photos and local content, Nokia said. The software makes it easier for users to produce and consume information about places.
The N97 mini has a suggested sale price of $639.
The music phones offer bundled unlimited music services in some markets.
NOKIA Theatre
One of the most flexible and advanced indoor performance spaces in the United States, NOKIA Theatre is the first venue of its kind. Many touring artists have already called NOKIA Theatre at Grand Prairie "the theater of the future."
Featuring comfortable, spacious seating, elite luxury suites with private entrances, upscale catering, corporate hospitality areas and convenient parking, NOKIA Theatre sets a new standard in the concert and theatrical touring industry.
With its 6,350-indoor seating capacity, this venue was conceived and designed to accommodate a wide range of stage productions, including pop, rock, country, comedy, magic, Broadway and family shows. Since its February 2002 opening, the facility has hosted everything from the Eagles to Jeff Foxworthy to the Radio City Rockettes.
UPDATED: Rumor Mill: Nokia expanding at T-Mobile
Nokia's North American troubles are well documented, but it appears the company may be looking to expand its 3G efforts at T-Mobile USA.
According to FCC documents unearthed by Phone Scoop, the commission has approved a clamshell phone, called the Nokia 3710a, with support for T-Mobile's 3G UMTS network in the 1700 MHz band. T-Mobile has not announced the device.
In other Nokia news, The Nokia Blog posted a tip from a source who claimed to have spoken with Nokia spokesman Joseph Gallo about Nokia's new Linux-based smartphone, the N900. The tipster said Gallo had confirmed a version of the N900 with 850/1900/2100 MHz support, which would align with AT&T Mobility's 3G network.
However, Gallo told FierceWireless that no such plans have been announced. "Regarding the Nokia N900, we have announced a tri-band WCDMA version that utilizes the 900/1700/2100 MHz networks," he said. "There have been no announcements regarding a version that supports the 850/1900/2100MHz bands."

Nokia 5230
Nokia has just popped open its paint pot and pulled out the new Nokia 5230 in a range of custom colours. The latest handset to join the touchscreen fold, the Nokia 5230 has been designed to serve up slick on-the-go entertainment, location-based services and act as an easy pocket portal for social networking at low cost. Read on for more details and get a close-up look at the 5230 in our photo gallery.
Brandishing a 3.2-inch widescreen touch display with full-screen QWERTY keyboard and handwriting recognition, the Nokia 5230 is geared up to enable you to rattle out messages at speed. Paired with speedy HSDPA connectivity, this means staying in the loop and keeping your Facebook and Twitter streams promises to be a no-wait affair. Ovi Store is nestled neatly on the homescreen from the moment you switch on the device, ensuring you can get instant anywhere access to quality bite-size apps.
Music is its first love though, with the 5230 bringing 33 hours of playback time (long battery life was recently voted the most important feature in a music phone by you guys – so we’re stoked to see that), a 3.5mm headphone jack and memory expandable up to 16GB via a microSD card. Two versions of the phone will launch – a standard device costing 149 Euros, and in some select areas a Comes With Music version will be available for 259 Euros for those keen on all-you-can-eat downloads.
Jo Harlow is Vice President at Nokia, and had this to say about today’s news of the upcoming 5230:
“Competitively priced at 149 Euros, we believe the Nokia 5230 is an unbeatable offer for many new customers who aspire a device that stars in music, mingles with social networks from Facebook to MySpace, navigates you to where it happens, when it happens, and comes in array of dazzling colors”
Other features include assisted-GPS with Ovi Maps, Nokia’s new Contacts bar on the homescreen, a 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth 2.0.
Nokia Booklet 3G Netbook
Powered by the efficient Intel Atom processor, the Nokia Booklet 3G delivers impressive performance with up to 12 hours of battery life, enabling people to leave their power cable behind and still be connected and productive. Delivering the rich experience of a full-function PC inside an ultra-portable aluminum chassis, the new mini-laptop weighs 1.25 kilograms, measures slightly more than two centimeters thin, and has the features one would expect from the world's leading mobile device manufacturer.
A broad range of connectivity options - including 3G/ HSPA and Wi-Fi - gives consumers high speed access to the Internet, including Nokia's broad suite of Ovi services, and allows them to make the most of every moment and every opportunity.
"A growing number of people want the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility," said Kai Oistamo, Nokia's Executive Vice President for Devices. "We are in the business of connecting people and the Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us. Nokia has a long and rich heritage in mobility and with the outstanding battery life, premium design and all day, always on connectivity, we will create something quite compelling. In doing so we will make the personal computer more social, more helpful and more personal."
The mini-laptop also comes with an HDMI port for HD video out, a front facing camera for video calling, integrated Bluetooth and an easily accessible SD card reader. Other premium features include the 10-inch glass HD ready display and integrated A-GPS which, working with the Ovi Maps gadget, can pinpoint your position in seconds and open up access for a truly personal maps experience. The Nokia Booklet 3G also brings a number of other rich Ovi experiences to life, whether its access and playback of millions of tracks through the Nokia Music Store, or using Ovi Suite to sync seamlessly from your Nokia smartphone, to your mini-laptop, to the cloud.
The Nokia Booklet 3G will widen the Nokia portfolio, satisfying a need in the operator channel, and bringing another important ingredient in the move towards becoming a mobile solutions company.

The Nokia E75 Mini
Nokia’s E75 combines an excellent (albeit slightly unorthodox) slide-out keyboard with the work and play flexibility of the Eseries line of phones. Just don’t expect any N97-like styling.
I spent about two weeks with the E75, and while I don’t have enough meat and potatoes for a whole review (thanks to the speedy arrival of my N97), I do have a couple of good/bad impressions. Onward!
The Good
The QWERTY keyboard. One of the E75’s biggest strengths. Great feeling, tactile keys, which never felt cramped. I also liked the fact that the keyboard actually worked in various areas like the Home screen (typing letters automatically brings up contacts search) and the browser (pops open the Go To box). Definitely beats the N97 in this respect. My only gripe is the location of the Backspace and Enter keys.
Snappy performance. No complaints here. Overall the E75’s interface handled my usage with ease.
Decent build quality. The E75 is well-built, but loses a point for having a slightly shaky top half. There’s definitely some rattling going on when the keyboard is pulled out.
Music. I was pleasantly surprised by the mono speaker. It’s louder and clearer than I expected. In addition, Nokia had the foresight to drop in a 3.5mm stereo audio jack.
The GPS. Lock-on time for the GPS was wicked fast. I didn’t get to test it out that much, but the times I did, it was certainly quick.
The Bad
It’s bland. It’s an Eseries workhorse phone, and I just can’t get that excited about it. Visually, the phone’s odd oval shape looks off, and the included themes weren’t eye-catching. The E75 really lacks that coolness factor that would separate it from other phones.
Badly designed keypad. Not to be confused with the QWERTY keyboard. While most Eseries phones have separate buttons for the Call/End/Soft Keys and Home/Calendar/Messaging/Cancel, the E75 combines two options into one button. Case in point: the left soft key, when pressed on the left side, functions like a left soft key. But press the same button on the right side, and it’s a Home button. Along with the smallish corner buttons (* and # keys), I found myself making a lot of keypad errors.
Blah camera. The 3.2 megapixel camera ain’t the greatest, and pictures were a little lacking in the color department.(www.nokiaphoneblog.com)
10 Ways to Improve the Nokia N97
How would you improve Nokia’s N97 smartphone? That’s the question of the day. My answers inside!
1. Prioritize the user experience over everything else. If that means throwing in a faster processor so the phone doesn’t lag when scrolling, so be it. But this could also be something simpler, like masking loading times with animations. A $750 phone shouldn’t feel slow or choppy.
2. Get rid of the directional keypad and make the QWERTY keyboard bigger and better.
No one is going to be playing N-Gage games on the N97. The directional keypad is way, way too close to the edge of the phone, making it difficult to use it effectively. It’s just too cramped, and for me, playing a game for more than 2 minutes strained my fingers. And the actual keypad just isn’t made for gaming. Game controllers are made so you can just shift your thumbs over to move Up/Down/Right/Left. Here, you’ve got to move your thumb around thanks to that (pretty useless) center button.
Removing the keypad would allow for a full QWERTY keyboard, with larger keys in the correct places. That means the Space Bar in the middle, the ZXCV row underneath the ASDF keys, Shift keys on both sides, etc.
Also, consistent tactile feedback would be great, too. Right now every N97 I’ve used has some very nice-feeling keys (anything in the second row, for example), and some really squishy ones (bottom row – ugh). I find myself having constant issues wondering whether I pressed or didn’t press a certain squishy key.
3. Fix the lock key. Once and for all. I seriously cannot believe how buggy the lock key is, and how Nokia hasn’t been able to fix this.
4. Move the Menu key somewhere else.
I personally can’t stand the location of the menu key (so much so that I’ve even remapped the camera key to act as a Menu key, more on this in a later post). It’s in a lousy spot that’s just not finger friendly to one-handers. Maybe this is a little revolutionary, but how about putting the Menu key on one of the sides, a la Lock key or Volume keys? It might not look as elegant, but it’d be a hell of a lot more functional.
5. Throw in a better email client. Preferably one that actually works (contrary to my experience with the onboard email client). Nokia’s own alternative, Nokia Messaging, is just far too slow to be practically used in a serious mailbox. My not-so-serious mailbox that’s filled with less than 100 emails lags like crazy when scrolling or opening up individual emails. We need a responsive email client, and we need it now!
6. Make the keyboard functional in more places, instead of just the Music Player.
There’s a lot of instances on the N97 when the keyboard just isn’t used or used to its fullest potential. Some examples are the Home screen, where the phone simply ignores all keys except those reserved for dialing, and the browser, where the keyboard is also summarily useless. The fixes aren’t difficult. At the Home screen, just default to contacts search (or the add a new contact menu). As for the browser, the keyboard should open up the Go To box and allow you to quickly enter URLs.
The funny thing is that S60 Third Edition phones with keyboards (ie. E75) do a great job integrating the keyboard into the phone experience. Why can’t the Fifth Ed.phones do the same?
Finally, I’d also love to see keyboard shortcuts for applications.
7. Put the 5800 XpressMusic speakers on the N97.
The 5800XM’s stereo speakers were, quite simply put, awesome. The N97’s, on the other hand, kinda suck. They certainly sound puny and tinny by comparison.
8. Move the audio jack. The jack is centered on the top of the phone. This is a really lousy spot because having something plugged in there directly interferes with using the phone in landscape mode (since people tend to hold the phone by its sides). Somewhere in the top right corner of the phone sounds good to me.
9. Remove (or change) the camera key.
I find myself constantly hitting the Camera shortcut key by mistake, usually when attempting one of those finger yoga exercises that I have to go through to press the Menu button. The lens cover automatically opens up the camera application anyway, and you can snap pictures using the touch-screen. A manual touch-focusing feature, similar to that on the Xperia X1, could replace the autofocus. Alternatively, if Nokia allowed me to disable the camera key entirely, I wouldn’t be complaining.
10. Improve the widgets system.
Widgets are small apps that can be added to your Home screen, and they’re an important part of the N97 experience. Yet there’s so little flexibility involved that it’s a wonder that anyone actually uses them. Why am I only allowed to have 2 sets of shortcuts? Why can’t I have widgets in different places, depending on the screen mode? What’s the point of adding a “Hide Content” button? Instead of flicking the screen to hide widgets, how about adding support for multiple “Spaces”, a la OS X? There’s a lot of potential here for some really cool stuff.
Microsoft Office Coming To Nokia Phones
Microsoft, the world's biggest software manufacturer and the world's number one mobile handset maker have joined forces in an effort to create solutions for Nokia mobile phones.
This agreement means that Microsoft Office Mobile, Sharepoint Server and Microsoft System Center will all become compatible with Nokia phones, and in turn the Symbian platform.
Office will soon be made available for a broad range of Nokia smartphones, starting with the company's messaging and productivity range, Eseries.
Nokia intends to start shipping Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile on its smartphones out of the box from 2010, but the suite of supported Office applications will expand over time.
In concrete terms, this deal allows for full viewing, editing, and creation of Office documents with mobile versions of Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft OneNote, full integration and support for the Exchange e-mail platform with Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile, access to internal and external portals with Microsoft SharePoint Server, as well as Enterprise device management with Microsoft System Center...all on Nokia phones!
Nokia's Executive Vice President for Devices, Kai Oistamo, is very optimistic about the move.
"If you are going to provide a seamless and integrated productivity experience on a mobile device, Microsoft is an ideal partner," said Oistamo. "Together with Microsoft, we will develop new and innovative user experiences for employees of small and large businesses alike, ensuring Nokia's smartphones are an integral part of the office and home-office environment, and addressing the significant opportunity in mobile enterprise productivity."
Why would these old time competitors join forces? Well, in the face of current events in the mobile industry, both companies are up against it... With Microsoft Office facing heavy competition from 'cloud' solutions like Google Docs and the mobile desktop on handsets and Nokia losing ground to BlackBerry and the iPhone in the smartphone sector, the alliance seems equal parts strategic and shrewd.
This partnership does stop short of any joint handset development, however, a potentially messy affair given the existence of Windows Mobile and Symbian as rival phone operating systems for many years.
Whilst we won't be seeing a Windows-powered Nokia E72 any time soon, this marriage of conveniece puts both companies in a very strong position to offer the complete mobile office experience.(http://darlamack.blogs.com)
Is This The End For Symbian Series 60?
According to the latest post on the Symbian Foundation Blog, the times they are a'changin' as far as S60 is concerned...for good.
The term 'S60' that we have known, loved, and clung so dearly to is about to be taken out to the back of the barn and shot. The S60.com website has been shuttered, the content relocated and the Symbian name is officially set to take over for the Nokia-owned operating system.
Developers have been issued with a new Product Development Kit named Symbian ^2 (the ^ is silent...), incorporating the new Symbian OS technology for smartphones, elements of the old S60 stuff, as well as custom software for use with Sony Ericsson and Japanese NTT DoCoMo devices.
To keep things fresh, two new versions of Symbian will be released annually, with Symbian ^3 going out to devs 'in the Autumn'. This could mean some handsets showing off the shiny new Symbian by early 2010!
Even more interestingly, there are handsets available right now that are compatible with future builds of Symbian including the Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Samsung i8910 HD and the forthcoming Sony Ericsson Satio.
Does this mean the N97 could be a trojan horse for the new breed of Symbian, one firmware update away from becoming a real smartphone titan? Let's hope so, as S60 was definitely starting to show some grey hairs...great to see Symbian committed to keeping up in the race.(http://darlamack.blogs.com)
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Gets August UK Release
Nokia continues to embrace the concept of touch screen phones to their bosom with the new 5530 XpressMusic handset, due out on August the 11th as a timed exclusive to the Carphone Warehouse.
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a younger offshoot of the highly successful Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, a handset so popular that it knocked the iPod off the perch of top selling music player in the UK...for a bit.
‘Younger’ does not necessarily mean 'not as good' (Ashlee Simpson being the living embodiment of that fact), as the 5530 XM has a 2.9” touchscreen, is rocking 3.2 megapixel snapper and is equipped with all manner of connectivity including Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0, but unfortunately stopping short of bringing 3G and GPS to the party this time around.
You will hardly miss it, thanks to the Nokia 5530’s peerless media playback functionality courtesy of stereo speakers, 4GB of space (microSD), a 3.5mm headphone jack for personal rocking and the Nokia touch experience supplied once again by Symbian S60 5th Edition.
Early impressions are pretty favourable on NokNok.tv, who have already done the honours with an unboxing to show off the new stainless steel finish and impressive active widget interface.
At a prepay price of around £130, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic might be good enough to buck the curse of the difficult second album.

Nokia 6300i - Nokia Offers Wifi and VOIP
The orignal Nokia 6300 was already an awesome mobile phone and now it has been refined further to offer Wifi and VOIP telephone calls in the new Nokia 6300i which is pretty cool in our opinion. Also the Nokia 6300i is also priced very low below £125 which make it a very attractive deal having advanced connectivity features.

Nokia N96 review
The Nokia N96 is a superbly designed 3G Smart-phone that features a dual opening mechanism and is destined to be Nokia’s next flagship mobile phone. The N96 is a family member of the very well liked N series range by Nokia that includes the extremely able Nokia N95 3G Smart-phone and the latter version, the Nokia N95 8GB. The very clever dual opening design will greatly assist the user to slide open the handset and have their every need met.
The colour TFT display screen on the N96 is a large 6.1 inch diagonal display (2.8 inches)and displays up to sixteen million colours on QVGA LCD screen and the screen resolutions are 240 x 320 pixels.
The N96 3G Smart-phone comes jam packed full of the day-to-day useful features and other cool features that the user can use whilst on the move. The casing of the Nokia N96 is slightly larger and more weighty than its predecessor but is still quite compact considering all what has been packed into it technology wise. The dimensions of the N96 are 103mm in height by 55mm in width by 18mm in depth and the weight of the phone is 125 grams. This very classy 3G Smart-phone has 16 Gbytes of built in internal memory (double the N95 latest version), 128 Mbytes of RAM and 256 Mbytes of system memory. The handset has support for a MicroSD™ memory card if the user chooses to increase the amount of storage they have on the phone for their music and downloads. The N96 main competitors are the Samsung i8510 INNOV8, Samsung M8800 Pixon and the C905.
The Nokia N96 - Music Player
The N96 comes kitted out with a music player that features a built in FM stereo that comes complete with RDS allowing the user to view the music information that they are listening to on the fantastic large display screen. The huge internal memory built into this phone will allow you to store 3500 songs, the same as the Apple iTouch. The only advantage the iPhone had over the rest of the mobile phone market was internal memory, now that Nokia have hit back with the N96 this is no longer the case. The N96 supports a Nokia Internet Radio and a Visual Radio. The music player’s features allow the user to create play-lists and listen to their favourite music. The user can select their play mode and view their playing lists and albums in great colour. And with the music player, having an audio equalizer listening to your favourite tunes will be a great music mobile experience as the sound quality will be excellent.
The Nokia N96 - Camera
The owner of this great handset will never need a separate digital camera as the Nokia N96 is all that will be needed not only for the uses it has a mobile phone but as a highly capable digital camera.
The Nokia N96 comes with a fantastic built in five mega-pixel camera (2,592 x 1,944 pixels) complete with an array of settings, functions and options that a standard digital camera would provide you with. The Carl Zeiss optics Tessar lens is crystal clear and features auto focus and an auto exposure feature. The dual LED flash will definitely brighten up those shots that have been snapped in the dark or dimly lit environments. Photos can be stored in either JPEG or EXIF format. The user will be able to adjust the settings making sure the user can take the perfect picture every time. It has been rumoured that a 6 mega pixel version maybe release, but we will have to wait and see if that materialises.
The Nokia N96 - Video Camera
The N96 also supports video recording so the user can always capture a special moment whenever and wherever they are with this marvellous handset. The user can do video streaming and play back all their recordings on the large colourful display screen. The video clips captured can be stored, edited, shared, deleted or even transferred to other compatible devices. The N96 features the fantastic element called the video stabilizer. This will ensure the user will capture a steady and wobble free piece of moving video footage and with MPEG4 video format. The video function also features a light so that any footage taken in the dark or dull environment will still be recorded with quality.
The Nokia N96 - 3G video calling
There is a second camera on the N96 and this allows the user to participate in 3G video calling. This camera is a VGA camera and is subtly situated at the front of the phone. The concept of this is to allow users to call each other and view each other face to face whilst talking this will work if the other user's phone has this capability.
The Nokia N96 - TV Player with BBC iPlayer support
In addition, the stunning N96 has DVB-H live TV broadcasting. This feature allows the user to watch live TV broadcastings while being on the move and access videos via the browser (will be great for youtube!). However, TV play will kill your battery in 4 hours.
The Nokia N96 - GPS (Satellite Navigation)
There is also a built in GPS receiver and a navigation system so once the user keys in their desired destination the handset will give systematic directions to their destination. The GPS navigation system will provide its owner with satellite pictures of their desired destination as well as the location information and 150 maps can also be downloaded.
The Nokia N96 - Connectivity
The Nokia N96 3G Smart-phone is packed full of the latest technologies, including 3G HSDPA technology for fast and high-speed efficiency. There is the EDGE technology that will provide the user with high-speed data transfer rates and WLAN Wi-Fi technology allows for a great wireless connection a fast broadband speeds. The Bluetooth® wireless technology that includes A2DP allows the user to enjoy a wireless connection experience. A USB connection will allow a great-cabled connection between other compatible devices. The N96 comes with a Symbian operating system that it is complete with S60 software.
The battery life is never great on 3G smartphones packed full of features, and the more features added seems to shorten the battery life. Apparently the N96 when fully charged will roughly provide up to three hours talk time or up to two hundred and twenty hours of stand by time, but I will be prepared to charge it every night.
The Nokia N96 - Internet
The Nokia N96 has an incorporated Web Browser that is complete with a mini maps feature this will allow for a fantastic Internet encounter. The Nokia web browser supports both HTML and JavaScript, Combining this with the TV functionality allows support for Flash videos. The HTML mobile Internet can also be enjoyed that comes complete with an RSS reader facility.
The Nokia N96 - Messaging
