Within the past years they have been consistent in supplying exceptional mobiles that are able to cater to a number of types of users. The Nokia C6 is an additional mobile from this Finnish manufacturer and it is positive to take to the Smartphone marketplace by storm.

Nokia Tube

Posted on 21st June 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phones Guide | Tags: ,

Nokia has announced an iPhonealike preliminarily called the Nokia Tube.

Details are sketchy but it does look rather like the return of the mac, doesn’t it?

This is Nokia’s return to touchscreen technology right after the unpopular 7710, which was painfully slow and normally a bit crap.

There are no more details obtainable at the moment, but as a dedicated Nokia fan I am really searching forward to this one. The only question is…

will it Finnish the iPhone?

Nokia 6600

Posted on 12th June 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phones Guide | Tags: ,

If, for some reason, you were asked to visualise a “Nokia 6600″, it is likely that you would think of this beauty:

The Nokia 6600 was Nokia’s flagship handset a couple of years back. The little joystick made it wonderful for playing games and, if memory serves, the camera was particularly impressive. Sadly, as with most complicated Nokia handsets, the 6600 had a habit of grinding to a halt soon after around a year of every day use, generating it into the kind of handset that your mum loves: “something that can make and receive calls.”

On that note, could it be true that there is an additional worldwide shortage of N95 handsets simply because so several of them are being returned? The theory goes that, simply because the handsets are so complex, it is normally easier for Nokia to present a new handset than fix an old one.

Anyway… back to the 6600.

In fact, that is just what Nokia are doing: going back to the 6600. Nicely, they are not going back to the device but they are going back to the name, for a handset that looks like this:

As you can see, they are providing the handset as a slider or a flip. The feature list for the two is fairly similar, with the accelerometer that sets my heart aflutter on the N95 once again present, along with a 512mb removable memory card and radio. Interestingly, the clamshell handset has a poorer camera: only two megapixel, compared to 3.two on the slider. What does Nokia have against clamshell users?

And why do they go back to the exact same names once again? This handset does not actually have anything to do with the old 6600, which has successfully evolved into the N95.

Speaking of which, the 6600 slide looks rather like a simplified version of the forthcoming Nokia N96. Apparently, there are no handsets accessible for review purposes until the official launch in the autumn. If everyone fancies sending one this way, please get in touch!

Bare Necessities: Nokia Touch and Type

Posted on 10th June 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phone Tricks | Tags: , , , ,

When it comes to owning a intelligent phone, one has to wonder how considerably functionality is truly needed. After all, with all the hardware and features that can be squeezed into a single handset, there is a limit to how far a device goes from being beneficial to outright novelty –and tacky. The Nokia X3 Touch and Type is able to keep a handy distance away from that technological pitfall by sticking to the basics.

Social Networking is Still Key

If there is 1 thing that truly works for the Nokia Touch and Type handset, it is the fact that it combines connectivity with social networking. As a lot as mobile phones have originally been produced for calling and later, for text messaging, it is challenging to deny that social networking is the new medium of communication for several individuals.

First off, the device supports 3G and WiFi –this along brings enough connectivity for users wherever they might be. With the fast and stable connection speeds for both 3G and WiFi networks it is pretty effortless to see how this mobile handset will keep users online and up to date.

Of course, the second important factor is the integrated social networking capabilities. The handset brings Facebook, Twitter and instant messaging by way of Yahoo and Windows Live for users to be able to access instantly from the phone menu.

Much better Typing Approaches

Typing on the Nokia Touch and Sort is a breeze. Initially, one would be a small disoriented at having the four column layout as opposed to the usual four row set discovered in standard T9 keypads. But that is not truly an problem. Give any user a couple of moments of making use of the device and they will be typing out messages pretty quick. Being able to use the resistive touch screen to move around the message also makes editing and scrolling a entire lot quicker as nicely. Of course, Nokia often like to give their customers alternatives, so if you actually don’t fancy learning your way around the four column keypad, there’s always the Nokia C3 Touch and Kind.

Nokia Oro Made Official, Targets Premium Market

Posted on 8th June 2011 by mobilesfun in New Phones | Tags: , , , , ,

We know what you’re thinking, if the Oro is a Nokia premium phone, why isn’t it being marketed under the Vertu brand? It’s a good question, but it’s not unheard of for Nokia to release high-end phones covered in costly materials under their own name, just think back to the 8800 Sapphire Arte or just before that, the 8800 Sirocco Gold.

The Oro is the natural successor to those two as underneath all the sparkle, it’s a Nokia C7, which means it has all the abilities of a regular smartphone. Just in case everyone seriously taking into consideration getting an Oro cares (we don’t anticipate them to) that indicates it has a three.five-inch touchscreen, an 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 3G and Wi-Fi.

Feature-wise, the only factor which sets it apart from the present C7 is that it’ll ship with the newest Symbian Anna operating method, and the icons have been tweaked with a gold colour scheme. But all this is irrelevant next to the exterior of the Oro.

Obtainable in black or white, the bezel has been coated in scratch-resistant, 18-carat gold, as has the camera lens surround, although the rest of the rear panel has been enveloped in hand-wrapped leather taken from ‘Scotland’s finest Caledonian herds’. On the black model, the leather matches the colour of the phone, while the white has caramel leather. Finally, a sapphire crystal replaces the residence button.

The price of all this opulence? Nokia say it’ll cost ‘upwards of 800 Euros’, or about £700-plus. You won’t find it on sale everywhere either, as it’s for selected markets and presumably, selected shops too throughout Q3 this year.

Nokia Prism

Posted on 6th June 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phones Guide | Tags: ,


Nokia is eschewing the curves which they arguably brought to mobile phones in the first place and going all angular.

The Nokia Prism was unveiled at a fashion show in China. Yes, a fashion show, not a technology conference as may possibly be expected. To be honest, the technology under the surface of this handset really is not anything to write residence (or a blog entry) about: Bluetooth, USB 2. (I like), EDGE, GPRS and Tri-Band.

But the style is rather original, no? I really like it when visions of the future from decades gone by really come to be realised, rather like this lovely slab.

I do, nonetheless, have one concern about the angles and this is:

Each and every pair of jeans that I own has a white line around the lefthand pocket where my phone has sat. It makes me all nostalgic, looking at an old pair of 501s which no longer do up to see the outline of my initial ever mobile – a Siemens S8 – which this page informs us has such groundbreaking features as a “big four line display” and “99 name phonebook”.

Look at those sharp edges on the new Nokia! A recipe for denim disaster, no?

Nokia E90

Posted on 29th May 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phones Guide | Tags:

I’ve constantly admired the Nokia Communicator series from afar, waiting for the appropriate time to switch up to the beasts. As I see it, there are two essential requirements for owning 1 of these phones. Firstly, you have some need to have to check your emails on the go – perhaps you travel away from your laptop or computer a lot – and secondly you need to have to wear a suit for work. For some reason these phones just seem ideal to fit into a suit pocket.

Sadly it does not appear as although I will be fitting either of these criteria in the near future. The umbilical link between myself and my laptop shows no sign of becoming severed any time soon and I work in shorts and a tee-shirt. Woo hoo! The joys of working at property.

The most recent installment – the E90 – is 1 of the most advanced, feature-packed mobile phones ever released. Interestingly, the phone uses a Symbian S60 operating method as opposed to the S80 utilised on the 9500 and 9300. This may possibly appear like an unusual step, but S60 offers E90 users access to a considerably wider range of applications. A quick straw poll suggests that S60 is every bit as straightforward to use as the newer program and ultimately far more flexible. Great work Nokia.

This is a company phone. Smart features consist of onboard GPS and a high-resolution screen. The program can handle PDF files and read documents in Microsoft office. Unlike the prior generation of Communicator, the E90 comes fully-loaded with 3G, which can only be excellent news.

Functions which you might be surprised to discover on this phone consist of an FM radio and three.two Megpixel camera. Many businesses do not like to have cameras onboard company phones (nevertheless employees typically enjoy them). I imagine the phone is there for those lengthy, dull train journeys from London Euston to the Midlands to meet clients. Hmm… possibly that’s fair enough.

Following on nicely: Nokia 8800 Sirocco Bling… sorry… Gold

Posted on 27th May 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phones Guide | Tags: , , , , , , ,

Picture yourself as the posessor of amazing wealth. Come on… we’ve all completed it at some point. Personally, I walk along the seafront in Brighton and decide on which of the mansion houses I would purchase. I would then acquire a load of property all over the world and grow to be a benevolent 21st century Rackman figure.

An individual, somewhere, would rather invest their wealth on owning a golden phone. Yes, that’s right, a golden phone. Or at least this should be the case since the usually astute bods at Nokia have released the wonder that is the 8800 Sirocco Gold.

Following detailing the greatest searching handsets, it appears only correct that Nokia need to deliver some thing so gloriously heinous as this.

Searching rather like something that may drop out of King Midas’ rear end, this handset is arguably the most bling factor you could possibly have in your handbag. Prior to you can say ‘footballers wives’, it is worth noting that the handset is basically just a normal 8800, with all of the inherrent troubles that have often plagued Nokia’s top-end poseur package, such as a little memory (for the price) and a poor talk time, even though this has been improved because the initial 8800 was released.

The downside to having a golden phone is that it is heavier than equivalent handsets and would most likely be really attractive to a criminal, really should he see it sitting on the table at the nearby Rat &amp Parrot.

Nokia N79

Posted on 7th May 2011 by mobilesfun in Mobile Phones Guide | Tags:


Whilst the photo makes it look like the new Nokia N97 has fallen off the back of a lorry, this is arguably the most stylish N Series handset the Finns have ever produced.

Supposedly a step down from the two way sliders, the N79 is a fine slab of technologies With out the sharp edges that numerous people discover offensive about the a lot more angular N Series phones.

It is also as feature laden as any of the bulkier N Series handsets, such as the N95 8gb. The onboard camera is of the very same normal as the chunkier handsets and has the added advantage of a lens cover (which is sadly missing from the N95 8gb). The megapixel count is high (five) but, as ever with these Nokia cameras, what is genuinely impressive is the top quality of the images produced.

I guess the only location where this handset falls down a little is in the size of the display, which is considerably smaller than the top end N Series phones. But then did anybody in fact watch Spiderman 3 on their handsets anyway? I doubt it.

All in all, a fantastic new addition to the Nokia range and well worth contemplating if you are looking for a practical compromise between form and function.
