Motorola and Nokia have agreed to a licensing agreement which could help make sure that there is a smoother transition to the 4G era. Motorola and Nokia didn’t reveal many details about the deal but it will include intellectual property agreements regarding 4G products like Long-Term Evolution, WiMax and Long-Term Evolution Advanced. “We are pleased…
Nokia has just announced the C5-03, yet another member of the C5 family, and one more way to confuse consumers with product names that feature hyphens. What’s so special about it? Nothing. Really. It’s got a 3.2 inch resistive, yes, resistive, touch screen with a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels, 5 megapixel with no…
Nokia’s N900 is starting to feel a bit long in the tooth. Sure, it’s powerful, but with all these new versions of Android and iOS popping out almost every few months now, Maemo 5 is beginning to show some signs of aging. We’ve seen the Nokia N9 already, and Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-Review has called…
The fact that the Nokia N8 costs as much as the iPhone 4 in terms of components is a little bit surprising given the disparity between the two devices. According to iSuppli, the N8 costs $187.47 to build, while the iPhone 4 is $187.51. Without a contract, the iPhone 4 goes for $599 for a…

The BOM, as it’s known in the industry, is the cost of the raw components that make up a device. The screen, the memory, the…
There’s an unsubstantiated rumor floating around that the Nokia C7, Finland’s second Symbian^3 device to start shipping, the first being the N8, has NFC capabilities built in, but due to being rushed to market the software written to support said internal hardware wasn’t included. In the future however Nokia will issue a software upgrade that…
Nokia’s got a premium lineup of devices, and I’m not talking Nseries here, but instead Vertu. With devices that range in price from 2,500 EUR all the way up to 100,000+ EUR, they’ve historically been nothing more than feature phones, but instead of being built by an Indian or Chinese employee earning minimum wage, they…
Last Friday on Nokia’s official corporate blog, the results of a poll asking “What Ovi services do you use the most?” showed that only 5.56% of Ovi users actually use Ovi Music.
