Nokia offers new XpressMusic mobile phones – the 5730, 5330 and 5030. The 5730 has a QWERTY keyboard, the 5330 is a sliding phone, and the 5030 XpressRadio is a entry level phone. The three will be for very different markets, according to their prices, but they will have access to Nokia Music Store which is in operation, which is already available in 15 different countries.
The Nokia E55 version existed only in black or white colors, but now you can choose red if the leak is accurate. This red is not garish, and this unit joined the E71, E75 and E63 (in part) on the shade of red. You’ll have to wait until the second quarter of the year before you can buy it at 265 Euros.
If you thought the Nokia 8800 Arte Gold was the bomb, this is the Goldstrike which doesn’t know the crisis. The Nokia 8800 Princess Edition mobile phone will cost £12,000 when it will be released in next January. This luxury mobile phone includes 8.2 carats diamonds on its front and rear, and it also includes platinum. The mobile phone will be launched at the Colette store in Paris.
If Nokia is already on the market with its luxury brand Vertu, it doesn’t prevent it from completing its collection of high-end mobile phones, including the magnificent Nokia Arte. We have now a gold plated in 18-carat and white leather for its new 8800 Arte Gold, a mobile phone combining high-end materials and latest technologies (3G, OLED display, 4GB flash memory, etc.) Price: $1350.
The Nokia XpressMusic 5800 mobile phone will make the U.S. happy, because it integrates 3G. As there is no AT&T logo on the pictures proved that this mobile phone will be released unlocked and non-subsidized, then it should cost more. Pricing and availability are not known yet.
Yesterday took place the Capital Markets Day in Brooklyn. This has enabled us to glimpse a kind of prototype, fully tactile, and which appears on track to move as a competitor to the iPhone. The iPhone-Killer would be Nokia?
While DoCoMo has introduced the Nokia E71 smartphone as the next of its range for the first quarter of 2009, but the Japanese operator will not propose this smartphone. This rare and radical decision follows that because Nokia no longer continues its activities in the country of Sharp, NEC, Kyocera, … The E71 will still may be available from the competitor SoftBank which is more favorable for non-Japanese mobile phones.
Today Nokia introduced the Nokia N97:
“From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence”, said Jonas Geust, Vice President, heading Nokia Nseries. “Together with the Ovi services announced today, the Nokia N97 mobile computer adjusts to the world around us, helping stay connected to the people and things that matter most. With the Nokia N97, Nseries leads the charge in helping to transform the Internet into your Internet”.
The smartphone has a 3.5-inch touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard, the So-Lo (social location), a 5-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, and also a media player and MP3 (up to 4.5 hours of video and 37 hours of audio). Specifications include:
The Nokia N97 is expected to be sold in the first half of 2009. Its selling price is estimated at $693.
Nokia releases another clamshell mobile phone, the Nokia 2608. The mobile phone features include an integrated FM radio, a voice recorder (I doubt it has a lot of storage space), an integrated flashlight, a mobile personal organizer and the possibility of using it as a modem (EDGE at least). The Nokia 2608 is expected will be launched the 1st quarter of next year.
So a sliding mobile phone, particularly in the sense that it serves as a platform of “opening” by introducing a AGPS in the S40 for the first time. Apart from that, it offers a compatibility with HSDPA 3G, Wi-Fi, and is equipped with a 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss sensor (with flash). The 6260 mobile phone seems to put a point of honor to be able to upload photos on some social networks, blogs and websites. Scheduled for early 2009 at a suggested retail price of $384.
