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
The messaging services will be a great way to stay in contact with friends, family, the office and even the work colleagues by using the fantastic services that are available. The services include text messaging (SMS), multi-media messaging (MMS), instant messaging and an emailing service. The email service fully supports SMTP, IMAP4 and POP3 emailing formats and also features a highly practical attachment file. This service is ideal for those who are always on the move.
How to: Turn off the on-screen keyboard on the Nokia N97 & 5800 XpressMusic
In pretty much all Java games for S60 5th Edition, so for the N97 and the 5800, you do have an on screen keyboard. However, due to this keyboard you do have only half the screen size available and you cannot enjoy the application. It seem that’s just a little problem but it’s really annoying and a lot users don’t know how to fix it. Here’s a small and easy guide how to hide the keyboard.
* Open Settings
* choose Application mgr.
* Hit Installed apps.
* Choose your application, for example PC Remote
* Click on Options
* Go to Suite settings
* Navigate down to On-screen keyboard
* Set it to Off
That’s all. Now the on-screen keyboard is turned off.
Nokia 5730 XpressMusic with QWERTY keyboard
The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic isn’t in everybody’s month and it has not as much attention as the N97, N86 or the E75. Nevertheless, the 5730 XM has a lot to offer. Currently there is no device featuring a full qwerty-keyboard, dedicated music keys as well as gaming keys at the same time. Let’s take a closer look at its features.
Qwerty-keyboard:
DSCF1438 by you.
Just like the E75 the 5730 XpressMusic has a horizontal slide out keyboard. The keys aren’t separated and feeling on which key you are is quite hard at the beginning. Also the fact that the keys are completely flat make it hard writing on it on the beginning. However, the keys are compared to other qwerty devices really big and after some days of using them you will fly over the keyboard really fast. In total you have four rows. The numbers are on the upper row together with letters. By holding on the numbers for three seconds or clicking on the blue arrow you write numbers instead of letters. Same thing with symbols like €, & etc. All in all the qwerty-keyboard is excellent and writing on it with both your thumbs is, after some days, easy and fast. So emailing and using twitter is a pleasure. The letters are in an old school matrix style wish I actually don’t like. Sliding up and down is really smooth and the slider isn’t any loose.
Music keys:
Music lover may welcome the dedicated music keys on the left hand side. Using these keys you can open the music player and control your music from everywhere you are in the menu. Also while gaming you can change the song or rewind. By the way, using the Say and Play function you can say a album, song or artist and the application will play it. But I don’t expect many to use that function.
Gaming keys:
The 5730 XpressMusic is a N-Gage device with two dedicated gaming keys on the top. Once you started a N-Gage game the orientation change and you’re playing in landscape mode. Having these keys you get a much better gaming experience.
WiFi, GPS and more:
However, there is much more than these hardware keys. Besides WiFi there is also GPS on board. Together with Nokia Maps, which is pre-installed, you can navigate easily. Most functions of Nokia Maps are for free but the most important function, voice guided navigation, isn’t free of charge. Other than that the 5730 XM comes with a bunch of appellations like Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, YouTube, MySpace, Files on Ovi and Ovi Contacts. Most of these applications just forward to the mobile webpage of the service. Running on S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 you can install many other applications, personalize the entire menu and home screen.
Who will buy it?
The 5730 XpressMusic has basically everything you need. From a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, Wifi to a 3.5mm audio jack. If you listen a lot to music, like playing N-Gage games and don’t need the latest flagship the 5730 XpressMusic is indeed worth a look.
Nokia N80
Description:
Nokia N80 Review - Nokia N80 is a 3G smartphone, providing benefits to its users from a wide range of advanced software to excellent functionality and wireless connectivity. Testing has shown that the phone is somewhat slow in booting up and also in operation, however.
The N80 is a sliding phone like Nokia 6280 or Nokia 6111. It has been noticed that the phone slides open by itself when carried in a bag or in your pocket, which is highly undesirable. It measures 95 x 50 x 26 mm and weighs 134 g, making it one of the lightest smartphone handsets around It is a quad band plus 3G phone supporting GSM - 850 MHz, 900 MHz, and 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz and 3G WCDMA 1900 or 2100 MHz frequency bands.
Nokia N80 has one of the best LCD displays, with a resolution of 352 x 416 pixels and boasting 262,144 colours. The 3 mega-pixel camera in the phone takes good pictures and has a 20x digital zoom and flash. However, the quality of photographs is no where near to the ones taken by Nokia N90. The phone has an advanced music player, which allows you to pick your favourite music track from a displayed play list. The audio quality of Nokia n80 is considered to be very good and the package includes a stereo headset. The phone comes with a 128 MB memory card, which is enough a storage space for your music files. It plays, MP3, AAC, m4a, eAAC+ and WMA format music tracks.
The battery has a talk time of 3 hours, with 8 days as stand-by. In actual experience it has been found that it is not worth expecting one or two days use from this phone and as such, any extensive use of music and smartphone features will be rather disappointing. The phone has all the basic features as desired in a mobile handset, such as, Voice recording, dialing and voice commands, MP3 ring-tones, Java applications, SMS, MMS, email, etc.
The other notable feature is the stereo FM radio with support for Visual Radio. In addition to Infrared and Bluetooth, the phone supports a wireless LAN, EDGE, EGPRS and a USB 2.0 mass storage. Nokia N80 has a document viewer for Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
Nokia N80 Review
Nokia N80 ReviewA multi-media rich phone, the Nokia N80 is the most highly anticipated phone from Nokia. It is also the one phone that fails to live up to the expectation that one has out of such a smartphone. But as per the Nokia specifications, it is the highest function packed smartphone ever released and that may be the cause for the disappointment.
Nokia N81 Review
Description:
Once again Nokia has set the new standard for stylish, feature loaded mobile phones for entertainment lovers who require maximum features when they use their phones. Its one of their latest releases in their N series of mobile phones and they have named the Nokia N81.
No matter where a phone user is and what ever they are doing they are guaranteed to never be bored with this game and feature packed unit.
Nokia’s N series of cell phones are well recognized as solid and sturdy units and the N81 has not deviated from this trend. However; this new N series phone has made a few trade offs in features. For instance phone function in the N81 only has a 2 mega pixel camera in it compared the the 5 mega pixels in the N95 but it does include a a great functioning flash feature as well as state of the art Zyss camera optics.
The trade of though is that the N81 weighs in heavy when it comes to state of the art entertainment features. Some of the new features the N 81 has for gamers is a navigation pad that features a touch wheel that is very similar to the wheel on an iPod and a super brilliant 16.7 million color screen display that offers a clear image and fantastic resolution.
If you are primarily interested in games then you are going to love the way that this newest addition to the Nokia N series supports N-Gage the latest trend in mobile gaming. The N-Gage gaming platform contains the best graphics available in mobile phones today and something that any serious gamer should give close consideration to. As an added bonus, this new game oriented phone from Nokia comes pre loaded with three popular games.
Along with the screen being able to be opertated in both landscape and portrait modes there are also controls on it dedicated exclusively to game use. Of course, the designers of the N81 also had music lovers in mind when they were at work and the results are obvious.
Nokia N81 ReviewThis new phone does not need a memory card, because it comes off the shelf with a whopping 8 GB of memory so there is room to hold all of the songs that you need to record. Also, as well as Bluetooth stereo headphone support this N 81 also includes a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. Other features that the N81 has for music lovers are an equalizer, FM radio and play list support.
Other features that are crammed into this solid and hefty unit are video calling, Nokia map applications and wireless GPS. So all in all the N81 is a great improvement on other N series phones from Nokia and has built on excellent features that can be found in previous models to give gamers a top notch phone for what they like to do.
Also, this phone is a great handset for someone who is looking for excellent music features as well. One thing that is fairly obvious when the phone is held in the hand is that it is somewhat bulky and has more heft to it then other similar products on the market. There is a good reason for this however and that is that it is designed and built to be a sturdy and durable unit that can hold up to heavy use.

Nokia 5800 (Tube)
.JPG)
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (Tube) model became very popular even before its first official announcement. Not only it is a fine appearence and function-rich model, it is also a first Nokia attempt to enter touchscreen devices market, apart from rather unsuccessful 77x0 models. This time, Nokia tried to move in right direction, aiming this phone to the multimedia side.
Let us avoid its comparison with iPhone, because even if they do look similar, Nokia 5800 is a completely different product (we all got sick of those "..." vs. iPhone comparisons. Nokia finally revealed the launch date: this interesting event will be pretty soon, October, 2. Let's look on the details of this phone while we wait for its release. More information from: Nokia 5800 Tube Presentation.
Nokia 5800 carries XpressMusic label, which seems that it will be targeted to music playing features. XpressMusic is Nokia answer to Sony Ericsson Walkman series; phones that carry XpressMusic logo are specially modified to enhance music playback and control. So, Nokia 5800 has all the music lover should want from a cell phone - big screen for lovely album art visualization and decent video playback (3.2 inches, touchscreen, 640 x 360 resolution, 16 million of colors), big amount of flash memory (150 MB built-in, expendable via microSDHC cards up to 16 GB, 8 GB card included), 3.5 minijack audio port (connect almost every headphones on the market without any special connectors), wireless features to make sharing music a snap (Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi), and other multimedia functions as camera (3.2 megapixels resolution, autofocus, double LED flashlight and video recording in VGA up to 30 FPS) and TV-out. GPS is also present; it becomes a standard for all new premium class smartphones. Another interesting feature of Nokia 5800 is the OS it uses - it will be the first S60 Touch interface, called Symbian S60 Taco 5. Previously, the only touchscreen Symbian was Symbian UIQ, mainly used by Sony Ericsson in their smartphones. However it was based on stylus, so Nokia developed its own interface, aimed at simple thumb control. And last but not least, this phones size is comparable to iPhone, a little bit smaller though - 111 x 52 x 15,5 mm, weight - 109 g. Maybe it will get the popularity that Nokia N95 gained, who knows?
Nokia N85

Nokia E63
Description:

Nokia 6760 slide
Description:
The Nokia 6760 Slide is almost identical to the new Surge handset available on AT&T in the US, except that the 6760 is an unbranded device for worldwide use.. and for some reason it comes with a better camera.
This is really just a cut-down version of the E75, and if you ignore the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, then the 6760 is a pretty simple 3G phone underneath. There's a standard 2.4" 320 x 240 pixel display, 3.5G support, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and microSD expandable memory (with 2GB in the standard sales package and 8GB maximum).
The Nokia 6760 Slide also supports GPS and comes with Nokia Maps. The small screen is not ideal for in-car navigation, but it's still a useful thing to have in your pocket.
Because this is a Symbian S60 smartphone, there are a variety of applications available. Some of the built-in features include support for major social networking sites, instant messaging and the 6760 supports both standard email formats and Microsoft Exchange push email services.
Unlike the Surge, this has 900 MHz and 2100 MHz 3G support plus quad-band GSM. 3.5G data is supported, giving a maximum download speed of up to 3.6 Mbps, but it does not support WiFi. The 6760 weighs 124 grams, measures 98 x 58 x 16mm and has a maximum talktime of 4 hours on 3G.
The Nokia 6760 Slide certainly isn't to everyone's tastes, although it looks a bit more exciting in the red and white colour combinations that will be available instead of black. But people who are looking for a fairly low cost but versatile messaging device may well be tempted.
