The Nokia 5000 was announced in South Africa in April of this year appealing to young people who didn’t have that much money to blow, but wanted a device that could play music and take decent pictures. With a 3.5 mm headphone jack, QVGA screen, 1.3 megapixel camera and the ability to record FM radio…
Nokia VP explains why video calling is not more popular
Some technologies are just released before their time. And, because of a certain technology’s early arrival, consumers (or the industry itself) just isn’t ready to adopt new products or services until they’ve been ignored in to oblivion. Now, that’s not to say that video calling, video conferencing, whatever you want to call it, will go…
Nokia N85 caught in the wild
That’s right. The rumored Nokia N85 has been spotted in the wild and Engadget Mobile has the pic to prove it. The Nokia N85 sports a glossy black finish, falling in line with the design aesthetic that we’ve seen Espoo using on their N-series devices. The Nokia N85 slider apparently rocks a 5 megapixel shooter,…
Nokia E66, E71 almost here; Online demos appear for a moment
I’m not sure what’s Nokia waiting. Why they don’t finally announce the E66 and E71 smartphones yet? We’ve seen the two devices in the wild, official press photos, and the E66 even passed the FCC hurdle. Sure you may argue they need to complete all the documentation, support pages, prepare online demos… But wait, we’ve…

Nokia 5310 XpressMusic lands on Rogers Wireless
It was a week or so ago, when we first saw the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic crossing the ocean only to land on T-Mobile USA’s portfolio. Now, Rogers is following the suit and is bringing the music-enabled device to Canada. You already know the specs, don’t you? Let me just recap shortly – expect such things…
Party with me and a couple other Nokia employees on Thursday in Boston
I’m going to be in Boston, Massachusetts this week with my colleagues from Nokia. We’re going to have a party on the 5th from 20:00 to 22:30 at The Living Room. Free food, free booze, but more importantly you get to talk to actual Nokia employees and are able to pelt them with whatever questions…
Nokia 7310 known as “Supernova”, available in China and Taiwan
The mirror-finished Nokia 7310 will apparently be branded as the “Supernova.” The high-end sounding branding might lead you to believe that the Nokia 7310 is packed with more features than it really is, but keep in mind that a this good-looking mid-ranger is still just a tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM handset with EDGE serving up data…
Nokia N95 shrank then cloned
Now, we’ve seen quite a few fake Nokia N95 devices. However, this time Chinese handset makers cloners went one step beyond. The so called “MM95” is, you guessed that correctly, much smaller than the original device. However, it does keep the dual-sliding mechanism and therefore looks quite nice. Even though I shouldn’t praise fake devices,…
