Thanks to the Technology Evangelist we have a video from CES with Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s Steven Knuff showing the new Nokia N93i. As Stefan Constantinescu from Ring Nokia said, this video was shot right, edited right, and it just feels… right!

We’ve already seen some leaked photos and most of us hoped it will be presented at the CES. Then again it’s the business ESeries device and it seems that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) waits the 3GSM to reveal it. It will be interesting to see how will the market accept this stylish smartphone. This could be a real executive device. I can imagine the advertising for it – bringing the technology out of the geeks’ hands.

To cut to the chase. The Nokia E65 has been approved by the FCC, and the US consumers can expect to find it in the local Nokia Flagship store somewhere this year.

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) started shipping its “ultimate challenge to the digital camera” to the Land of the rising Sun. The Nokia N73, a Symbian OS S60 3rd edition-based “multimedia computer”, will soon be available to the SoftBank (OTCPK: SFTBF) Mobile users as SoftBank 705NK in three colors – deep plum, light sand, and newly added color, metallic red. Japanese users can find more information on SoftBank’s and Nokia’s sites.

Thanks to our dear sponsors, Sugarpipe, we got ourselves the powerful Nokia N93. Some of you may think it’s wise to wait for the upcoming N93i, but is it? Basically, both devices are the same and give you the best mobile camera experience bundled in a smartphone. Ok, N93i may have some improvements, but are they worth around $200. I don’t think so. Anyway, here’s our short “hands-on” review of the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N93.

Apocalypso from Symbian-Freak wrote and interesting article comparing Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s newly announced iPhone with Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N93 and N95. First he discusses his views on iPhone, adding that without doubt iPhone is the single most overrated, overpriced and hyped piece of hardware on the market. Next, he’s all about the facts. From the specs table you can see for yourself that Nokia’s high-end devices beat iPhone in almost all aspects.

However, as I’ve argued few days ago – iPhone could have that sexy appeal to the consumers. Just take a look at the iPod. It’s everything, but the best music player. Some other devices on the market (Linux-powered Archos for instance) also beat iPod in the specs, yet they can’t come even close to the iPod’s sales numbers. We’ll watch carefully this space and keep you posted.

Again, the Mobile Diva prepared the preview the latest Nokia N93i. In the great article, Darla goes through the N93i’s specs and logically compares it to its predecessor – Nokia N93. Among the improvements she finds an improved joystick, mirrored led panel screen, updated themes, WLAN wizard presence on the stand-by screen, a more slimmer keypad and of course the design. Read the article and drop Darla a comment how you feel about the N93i – is it really what the N93 should have been?

At the CES in Las Vegas, Darla Mack spotted two new editions of the Nokia E62. Apparently, a light metallic pink and metallic baby blue Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E62 devices will soon be available in the selected markets. According to Darla, these seem like a perfect devices for the Spring announcement.

Plus, you can already mod your Nokia E61/E62. Just check out E-Series blog and see for yourself what I’m talking about.

UPDATE: At the Engadget’s Nokia CES booth tour, you can see more photos of pink and blue Nokia E62.

Again thanks to the “update watchers” at Symbian-Freak, we find out that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) released a new minor firmware version for the N73. As usual, the new firmware (version 3.0649.0.0.1) should improve the performance of the device, and fix known bugs and problems from previous versions. Change log is still missing, so we can’t tell you much what’s been changed and/or updated.

Proud N73 owners can updated their devices via Nokia Software Updater service or at the official Nokia Points and Nokia Service Points.

The obvious thing with the latest Nokia (NYSE: NOK) devices is that they generate a lot of buzz around the Web as soon as they’re announced (even before they are announced for that matter). Recently announced Symbian-based Nokia smartphone N76 and N93i are everything but an exception. For a start, check out the short video review of both devices at NSeries WOM World (thanks to AAS).

N93i: Over at Symbian-Freak forums, BeerBong (alias of of the user/moderator) posted N93i video and image samples. On the other hand, at HowardForums “whisky” asked would anyone move from N93 to N93i, and (for those that don’t have the N93) which one would they choose – N93 or N93i. Plus, you can check out the “hands-on” photos of this great device on InfoSyncWorld.

N76: At the Unwired View blog, Stace found the Nokia N76 just good enough – it may not have all the features of N9x smartphones, but its thin form factor makes it more attractive. And you can check out the N76 gallery on MobileBurn.
