Nokia X2-02 Announced

Posted by Admin Friday, December 2, 2011

Despite smartphones gaining more market share than ever, Nokia remains a strong entity in the feature phone department.  And their latest, the Nokia X2-02, likely makes that position stronger.
Coming under the music-minded X series, the handset comes with dedicated music keys, special sound processing that boasts "the clearest sound you’ll find at this price" and Play via Radio.  If you're not familiar with that last one, it's a feature that lets users record songs directly from the radio, as well as share playlists with your home system, car stereo or other phones.

Symbian Belle Debuts In Three New Nokia Phones

Posted by Admin Tuesday, August 30, 2011


Nokia has unveiled the latest update to its soon-to-be-killed Symbian OS, along with three new devices that are going to run it.  The successor to Symbian Anna will be called Symbian Belle, bringing a whole set of new features for the platform Nokia is surprisingly still pushing.  The three debuting phones running it consist of the Nokia 700, the Nokia 701 and the Nokia 600.
What does the new Symbian flavor bring to the table?  The most notable new features include  NFC sharing and pairing, three additional home screens (for a total of six), a dynamic lock screen, live widgets in five different sizes, and an Android-style pull-down taskbar/notification menu.

Remember the app Nokia 3D World Gaze? It has just been updated at Nokia Beta Labs with quite a few new changes.
There’s some pinch zooming and inertia to make scrolling that little bit nicer, imperial units, new Anna app and more:

Themes: Metro Minimal available at Ovi Store

Posted by Admin Sunday, August 28, 2011

We rarely cover themes here but looking around the N8 related groups, it’s something N8 (and Symbian users) in general still really like.
Yesterday, a symbian themer named Glenn emailed to tell us about his themes on Ovi Store. We’d like to start show casing some themes and we’ll begin with his work called Metro Minimal. It’s a simple, clean minimalistic theme, and very helpful on battery life for AMOLED screens.

Matthew Miller from ZDNet (previously of Nokia Experts too) has written a piece on Windows Phone, asking folks to at least give the thing a try (presumably before people bash it due to the MS name)
In a provocative title, Matthew claims,
“Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 is the most stable mobile phone OS“
As well as a Nokia Blogger, Matthew has experience of nearly every mobile OS and he says, “I can say without a doubt that Windows Phone 7 has been the most stable and reliable mobile phone operating system I have ever used”
Matthew talks about his experience across S60, T-Mobile Sidekick, iPhone, Androids, webOS, BlackBerry and more recent Symbian phones. He discusses things he likes about the mobile platforms and what he doesn’t
TL:DR “Windows Phone 7 may not be flying off the shelves, but in my extensive experience the platform is the most stable and reliable out there. I recommend that you at least give the platform a try because it is NOTHING like Windows Mobile and the Microsoft name does not kill the experience.”

Engadget has posted up their hands on gallery of the Nokia 600, 700, and 701 Symbian Belle handsets. There’s no reaction yet from the engadget staff on Symbian Belle.
At the end of their post is a video showing NFC check in with these new Nokias. NFC is going to be on all future Symbian handsets and is a feature Nokia wants to popularise as much as they had done with SMS.

Symbian app: Nokia Nearby – hyper-local search

Symbian app: Nokia Nearby   hyper local search
Nokia Nearby is a hyper-local search application which you can use to look for information about places and listings near you and also share this information with any of your contacts.  While this app works on Series40, S60, and Symbian devices, it is targeted primarily towards emerging markets with a high emphasis on Series40 devices, including those that don’t have Nokia Maps or GPS on them. With Nokia Nearby you can discover places & listings like restaurants, movie theaters, and malls and get details about the places that interest you and contact them from within the app.

Nokia’s Q4 2010 Earnings: A Faint Glimmer of Hope

Posted by Admin Wednesday, August 17, 2011

It could happen.
It could happen.
So, yesterday Nokia announced its first-quarter earnings. The numbers kinda sucked, to put it bluntly, but they beat the estimates. Still, there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, and no, we’re not talking about MeeGo.
Some of the highlights:
  • Overall sales rose 6% to 12.7 billion euro, compared to last year. Devices & Services rose 4%, but was offset by a 37% jump for NAVTEQ and 9% increase for Nokia Siemens Networks (gasp!)
  • Profit fell 23% (from last year), to 884 million euro.
  • Nokia shipped 28.3 million smartphones/mobile computers in Q4
  • The average selling price (ASP) rose to 69 euro vs. last years 65 euro
  • Market share fell to 32%, from 34%
  • Nokia will host a Strategy and Financial Briefing in London on Feb. 11
That last one matters for a very interesting reason:
“Nokia must compete on an ecosystem-to-ecosystem basis. In addition to great devices, we must build, catalyze, and/or join a competitive ecosystem.”

Nokia dropped a bombshell announcement today.
Nokia dropped a bombshell announcement today.
It’s the beginning of a new era for Nokia: the company announced a “strategic partnership with Microsoft to build a global mobile ecosystem based on highly complementary assets.” That means that yes, Nokia will be adopting Windows Phone for future smartphones. But it’s more than that: the partnership means that Nokia will also integrate its current apps with Microsoft products, while Microsoft will bring its developer tools to the table.
Is it the right move? And what about Symbian and MeeGo? Details inside.
The move wasn’t completely unexpected. Nokia could have taken three possible routes for its smartphone line: MeeGo, Android, or Windows Phone. Actually, going full steam ahead with MeeGo probably would have sounded a death knell for the company, considering how ridiculously late to the game it would have been released. So the shift would be either to an Android or Windows Phone platform, and I think most people assumed that it would be the former, despite Stephen Elop’s previous high-level position at Microsoft. (for the record, I certainly did)

The N9: It's not a Windows Phone.
The N9: It's not a Windows Phone.
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything really worthwhile on this blog. Then again, it’s been a long time since there’s been any worthwhile Nokia news. And so, after a four-month hiatus, it’s time again to look at one of Nokia’s latest phones: the oft-rumored N9.
When we last left Nokia, the company had announced that it would be going the way of the Windows Phone, in what was probably one of the biggest deals between two of the largest tech companies out there. Nokia’s two last platforms – Symbian and MeeGo – were going to be jettisoned, in the hope that moving to Windows would give Nokia the flexibility to innovate both software and hardware. Symbian had, more or less, become a dying platform, and MeeGo wasn’t living up to its expectations as a savior for the company:

Nokia N86 8MP

Posted by Admin Tuesday, August 9, 2011

Nokia N86 8MP

Nous vous l'avons présenté hier, Nokia vient juste de l'annoncer officiellement

Lorsque
Nokia a entrepris de fabriquer le meilleur téléphone-appareil photo, il a associé un objectif grand angle Carl Zeiss et un capteur de 8 mégapixels pour offrir des performances comparables à celles d’un appareil photo numérique autonome.

Parfait en cas de fort ou de faible éclairage, le
Nokia N86 8MP est optimisé pour la vidéo et la photographie dont le partage est facilité par sa connectivité haut débit.

D’une facilité d'utilisation déconcertante, le
Nokia N86 8MP a toutefois tout pour impressionner les photographes les plus expérimentés : objectif grand angle Carl Zeiss Tessar pour la prise de photos panoramiques, délais de latence plus courts, ouverture variable pour des photos d’une netteté incomparable même en cas de lumière excessive ou insuffisante.

L’obturateur mécanique à déclenchement rapide garantit des photos moins floues tandis que le double flash LED est suffisamment puissant pour réaliser des vidéos d’excellente qualité.
