Two images of Nokia’s yet to be announced E6-00 have just been leaked to Engadget via an anonymous tipster. Moments later the leak was confirmed by Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-Review as legitimate. What we’re looking at is a rounder version of the device that started it all, the E71. The rear of the device features…
Things haven’t been looking up for Nokia the past few months, and so rumors of an alliance with Google for Android or Microsoft for Windows Phone 7 have been cropping up everywhere. The latter really took off when Nokia picked up ex-Microsoft exec Stephen Elop as its new CEO. We’ve given plenty of takes on…
Nokia is hurting in the smartphone department but that doesn’t mean that it is still not trying to innovate. Today, we’re seeing the Nokia Bubbles application out of its labs and this enables users to quickly switch between apps in a visually-pleasing way. According to the company’s labs blog, when you phone is in sleep…
Some research by Bernstein has revealed that Nokia has spent upwards of $3.9 billion on research and development, which is close to three times as much as the average spent by competing mobile manufacturers. Okay, sure, Nokia is still the biggest in the world (for the time being), so it’s not entirely surprising. Samsung was…
Standard & Poor’s, the financial institution that’s been around since the 1860s and is responsible for telling the market how awesome or how worthless a company’s stock is, has announced that they’re going to keep an eye on Nokia and that they’re thinking of downgrading their rating.

During the company’s fourth-quarter results conference call, Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop said there are 30,000 apps now available in the Ovi Store. This is one of very few instances when Nokia publicly talked about Ovi Store figures — thus far all we had were figures from various analysts who suggested there are 25,000-28,000 apps in…
Nokia’s Symbian platform, which has dominated the smartphone scene for as long as any of us can remember, has finally, for the first time in history, been outsold on a global basis by a competing operating system. Windows Phone 7 really is that good. All kidding aside, this is obviously the work of Android, Google’s…
Nokia is teaming-up with two of China’s leading ISPs, SINA and Tencent, to integrate Ovi Maps into local social networks during Q1 2011. As a result, users of the two ISPs will be able to share their location information with friends and online communities. Moreover, Chinese Nokia phone users that also use SINA’s Twitter-like service…
On their quarterly conference call today, Nokia’s new CEO, Stephen Elop, mentioned that they must “build, catalyze, and/or join a competitive ecosystem.” That last bit definitely sounds an awful lot like Nokia’s considering supporting another operating system on top of MeeGo for the upper-range and Symbian for their lower-range handsets, but Elop went on to…
