If you’re in the market for a mid to low-end featurephone, Rogers has picked up the Nokia 7020. The device is now readily available on big red for only $9.99 on a 3-year contract. Other pricing options include $59.99 on a 2-year, $99.99 for 1-year and $149.99 for the device only. There’s not too much…
There are no doubts in my mind Nokia will move quite a few C5 units. It’s an entry-level smartphone with an impressive feature set for the price. And now it’s hitting India where interested folks could grab it for 8,200 INR, which is about $175. Bare in mind that’s the price of an unlocked device…
Nokia Beta Labs is out with a new beta version of the Nokia Software Updater software. There are two important enhancements in this release – device application updates and improvements in the user experience. As far as I’ve understood, similarly to iTunes, the former feature will make sure you’re running the latest versions of your…
The wireless modem, arguably the most important part in a mobile phone since without it you’d basically have an oddly shaped device that can act as a personal digital assistant and less than stellar camera, has always been one of Nokia’s strongest assets. Say what you will about Nokia’s S30, S40, Symbian, or MeeGo/Maemo devices,…
Forget about America for a second, and realize that Europe is where mobile phones took off first. Nokia practically owned the market in the 90s and early 00s, but research recently done by IDC says that the dominance Nokia has been enjoying is in danger of being taken away by them from none other than…
Nokia Beta Labs has updated one of the bots included in the Nokia Bots app. It’s Contact Bot which will now work in a similar manner as Shortcut Bot, learning your favorite contacts throughout the day. The idea is to differentiate between “home” and “work” contacts to show users people they talk to the most…
Words. They’re powerful. Very powerful. They can start wars, start relationships, end arguments and bring about a greater understanding to the mysterious world we all inhabit. Hell, I get paid to lay on my couch, slowly sterilizing myself with my too hot to handle laptop rested upon my genitals, and pump out words. With that…
Nokia E71 owners (a lot of you based on my many walks around the capital cities of several European countries), E66 owners, N97 Mini owners, and the poor souls who still call themselves N97 owners, should check for firmware updates. The E71/E66 are now up to version 500.21.009 and includes things such as Ovi Maps…
Thanks to the smart folks of Nokia Research Center in Beijing, China – Nokia touch-enabled smartphone owners got a new app for enjoying video clips while on the go. The existing media player that comes pre-loaded with any S60 5th Edition still works just fine, but if you want to skip certain scenes it can…
Ricky Cadden is one cool cat, and a guy who I consider to be a friend. We both started blogging in November 2006. He had Symbian-Guru.com, and I had RingNokia.com, and while we did go through our initial stage of bitter rivalry, it ended quickly soon after realizing we had a common passion. No, it…
