Watch on YouTubeCalendar 1.5 for S60 Released! – SBSH Mobile Software
Posted by Jack Cook on Jan 25, 2010 | Comments
SBSH just released a new update for Calendar for S60 smart-phones to version 1.5! Wouldn’t you know that the day after my review of the Nokia E72 that it was released. I would have loved trying the updated version on the E72 before I had to send it back.
The update features an overhauled design, filters, empowered engine, view picker, advanced recurrence support and much more!

Ovi Store now open from the Nokia n900

Technorati Tags: n900,nokia,Ovi Store
Like, Mr. Hi-Definition I too have received a Nokia n900 phone and will be posting on it. In fact I just turned it on for the first time yesterday. When I did, an OTA firmware update was available that allows access to the Ovi Store directly from the n900 itself.
While I need to play around with both the device and the Ovi Store, I thought that I’d pass along the news on the...
CES 2010 is over—here’s my recap
Posted by Rich Bilancia on Jan 11, 2010 | Comments
I’m back from another CES and as usual I’m glad I attended. As I did this year, I generally allocate two days to wander aimlessly through the cavernous exhibits. Similarly, rather than try to attend every press conference, visit every booth and post about everything that I see, hear or get told about, I prefer forming opinions and later write about those as recollections. So here goes….

Symbian Rejected Again…by Nokia??
Posted by Zealot on Nov 19, 2009 | Comments
This has been a tough few weeks for Symbian. A few days ago it was given the old heave-ho from Samsung smartphones in favor of bada, a new OS they haven’t even RELEASED yet, and now this. For a decade Nokia and Symbian have been practically synonymous, but the beginning of the end of that partnership is now official.
Nokia has confirmed what many people, myself included, suspected and backed the Linux-based Maemo operating...

The world’s two largest cellphone makers, Nokia and Samsung Electronics, unveiled on Tuesday their latest rivals to the iPhone as Apple became the top profit generator in the handset industry.

Nokia Demonstrates How to Kill Buzz
Posted by Zealot on Oct 09, 2009 | Comments
Everyone knows that a quick way for a new gadget to build anticipation and buzz is to get the blogs talking about the upcoming release. Everyone also knows that a good way to get the blogs talking about a device is to provide them with lots of info and/or loaner review models to play with. The very best way of doing that, for the largest players in the industry, is to throw a conference, send out a limited number of...
Nokia Bringing Maemo to Smartphones
Posted by Zealot on Oct 05, 2009 | Comments
Remember a statement made by Nokia a month ago, that they would be using Symbian S60 on phones and Maemo on “Internet devices” in the future? Well, according to Digitimes that may have changed, and if I were S60 I would be looking for another gig right now.
Digitimes is reporting that for the first time Nokia is looking to take phone production outside their own company, and are hunting for an ODM manufacturer in...
US Nokia E72 Up For Pre-Order On Amazon
Posted by Sam Hobson on Oct 03, 2009 | Comments
The successor to the E71 is up for pre-order on Amazon for $469. The US version with 3G. It’s a really cool looking phone, and it certainly looks like it succeeds the E71. Unlike the E71, however, the E72 is available only in one color, “Zodium Black” (where do they come up with these names?).

Nokia Pre?
Posted by Zealot on Sep 22, 2009 | Comments
Following an earnings call that saw more phones selling even as profits nosedived for the company, Palm stock has been shooting up, closed almost 14 percent higher Monday. Various analysts are saying this is due to anticipation that a secondary offering of the stock would be priced today. Since a third of Palm’s stock is held by Elevation (Bono and his investment banker mates), the likelihood of other investment groups...
Nokia Confirms Dual Mobile OS Route
Posted by Zealot on Sep 06, 2009 | Comments
In remarks reported by Digitimes, Nokia’s Multimedia Vice President Jonas Geust (who last made a splash way back in 2007 when he predicted the iPhone would tank) indicated that Nokia was planning on taking the Dual OS road for their smartphones and mobile devices.
As I conjectured last week, Nokia will be using Symbian S60 for their “mass market” smartphones and Maemo for “mobile Internet devices (MIDs) for the...
Nokia May Be Getting MIDs Right
Posted by Zealot on Aug 27, 2009 | Comments
As underwhelmed as I was by Nokia’s recent Booklet announcement, I am just as deeply impressed by the next product that Nokia is pulling out of it’s bag of tricks. There have been leaks all over the place for about a month that Nokia was on the verge of releasing a phone of some kind that dropped Symbian in favor of the open source OS they have been flirting with for ages, Maemo. Well, now it is official, but it...
Nokia Invents the Netbook ummm…sorry, “Booklet”
Posted by Zealot on Aug 24, 2009 | Comments
As expected, Nokia has finally announced plans for it’s entry into the Netbook/Mini-Notebook/Smartbook/Whatever market, and as is the prerogative of ginormous multi-national companies, they have added yet another term to the nomenclature while doing so…calling their upcoming device a “Booklet”. A “Booklet 3G” in fact, helping 3G take another step towards Most Overused Tech Term of the Decade.
They are not...
The Nokia E75 – Thoughts and Impressions
Posted by Jack Cook on Aug 10, 2009 | Comments
There are an immense number of phone choices out there to fit the needs and desires of virtually everyone. For me, my choice has always been a Windows Mobile device because I have always found the OS to be the best for my needs. I have been pretty adamant about that choice and rarely have a desire to wander away that is until I had the opportunity to check out several Nokia devices over the past several years.
I have...
A 1st Look at the Nokia E75
Posted by Jack Cook on Aug 09, 2009 | Comments
Nokia has a slew of devices that can meet the needs of virtually everyone. The E75 is a device designed for the Business user with a variety of very cool features. The following two videos were taken while on the road on a visit to Amish Country in Pennsylvania. The review box arrived as I was pulling out the driveway so I had to wait until I got to Pennsylvania to check it out for the first time.

Nokia’s latest AT&T release is basically a feature phone built to feed the social media affected. With a 2-megapixel camera, a full slide-out QWERTY, and Symbian S60 interface, the Nokia Surge doesn’t wander too far from the basics but instead of a generic WAP browser check this out:
In addition to an impressive suite of messaging capabilities, the Nokia Surge offers a powerful browsing experience, including...
Are you "rough" on your devices?
Posted by Jack Cook on Jul 08, 2009 | Comments
If you are then you might want to check out these three videos of the Nokia 3720. There is no “pampering” needed for this device. The folks at NokiaConversations got a hold of a prototype of a tough new Nokia phone and put it through some unusual testing … I was impressed.

Android based phone by… Nokia?
Posted by Gil Bouhnick on Jul 06, 2009 | Comments
Can it be that Nokia has finally realized nothing good can happen by sticking with the old Symbian OS and is now looking for other alternatives?
Not sure, but according to this report, Nokia is already working on an Android based smartphone.
The new touchscreen device will be unveiled at the Nokia World conference in September, say industry insiders, as the Finnish handset giant tries to revive its fortunes in the...

Another AT&T Announcement – Nokia E71x
Posted by Chris Leckness on May 04, 2009 | Comments
This is going to be a SUPER HOT seller for AT&T, let me tell you. At $99 subsidized, I can not imagine it not doing well. This thing is ultra thin, has a full QWERTY, and it’s a Nokia. Nokia is not too popular here at Mobilitysite because it’s not running WinMo, but I have so many “regular” friends that love anything Nokia puts out. I had the opportunity to get some hands on with this one last...
