Ever heard of the Z9? Of course you didn’t, it was never announced, yet one brave soul has one and is selling it on eBay. It’s basically a RAZR2 in a slider form factor according to the seller which makes me wonder he will throw in a data cable if the auction goes past $500,…

Introducing the Nokia 2600 Classic and 1209, for the budget minded
Phones for countries with developing economies are of interest to me only because it is fun to see the progress of what $100 will get you in terms of specifications. Take the Nokia 2600 Classic for instance: dual band GSM with GPRS support, S40 operating system, VGA camera, Bluetooth, FM Radio, email, MP3 ringtones, 128…

What did Nokia do in 2007 and what can we expect in 2008?
If you read my N82 review then you’re familiar with the fact that I enjoy delving a little bit into the past and present before talking about the future, it just feels like the right thing to do. With that in mind, let me take you on a trip of what Nokia released in 2007,…
Videos: Nokia really, and I mean seriously, pissed off Germany

A few days ago I reported that the N95 8GB is the first mobile phone to get DLNA certification and today on the Nokia Press Bulletin they release a video demoing this feature off. Can you say kick ass? I wish every press release of a product or new feature came with a video. Good…
People in the Philippines eat Nokia branded sweets all the time
Julie Ask, a Jupiter Research Analyst, took a few pictures of the local candy in a town just outside of Manila, Philippines. Cute, hopefully Nokia Legal isn’t going to sue them out of existence.
Brief: Nokia 5610 approved by the FCC
The Nokia 5610, an XpressMusic device without a 3.5 mm headphone jack, that runs S40 5th Edition, slider, has a 3.2 megapixel camera and a gimmicky slider do-hickey that takes you directly to the music application, just got approved by the FCC. It’s the wrong one for America however, there are two versions of this…
