With only one product and a late-year launch, Apple has really done well for itself with the iPhone. The fastest-growing segment in the mobile phone industry is the smartphone segment, and it’s been growing every year – growing 72% over 2006. And, a new report from Canalysis estimates that Apple became the world’s third-largest smartphone…
Nokia 3120 Classic: Cheap 3G and video calls
Nokia just announced the 3120 Classic, not on their press site, but on their press bulletin board. I found this to be slightly weird, but on to the news: The 3120 Classic has a 2 inch 240×320 screen, 2 megapixel camera on the back, video camera on the front, memory card slot and will be…
Is this the real black Nokia N82?
Update: Ignore this post. This is not the black N82. My mistake. Chinese site IT168 has 2 live images of what is supposed to be the black Nokia N82. Are they real? When will we be able to buy this phone? No one knows right now. Brief catch up: Nokia N82 is the monoblock flagship…
Video: ShakeLock, gesture based keypad lock application for S60
ShakeLock is a very simple application that runs in the background and uses the accelerometer inside Nseries devices. Shake the phone up and down to lock, left and right to unlock. It’s handy for those of us who digg monoblocks, people with sliders already have some sort of protection guaranteed and clamshell owners need not…
Watch it! Nokia N95 8GB cloned to perfection
Certain Chinese handset manufacturers are getting better and better in their cloning efforts. Lately we’ve spotted an almost identical “version” of the Nokia’s flagship N95 8GB smartphone.

Nokia 6555 now available in Sand color
If you happen to like the Nokia 6555, but hate the default silver-black color combo, the Finish giant prepared something different for you. It’s the same device, only in the color of a sand — actually, that’s more of a sand-dark grey combo, which makes the device look more stylish, especially for those of you…

If you’re not familiar with Nokia’s reorganization plans then here is a brief summary: Before January 2008 there were three divisions inside Nokia making phones: Mobile Phones (the devices with model numbers that are 4…
Quote of the day: The N810’s Wayfinder software insists that the only kind of shops in Finland are liquor stores
Krisse from All About Symbian is comparing the Nokia E90 to the Nokia N810 and she just earned herself quote of the day with this little nugget of gold: The N810’s Wayfinder software insists that the only kind of shops in Finland are Off-Licences (Liquor Stores). Does this perhaps say something about the people who…
Must Listen: 1 hour of Niklas Savander at Capital Market Days
When Nokia published a press release talking about how they plan to purchase Trolltech and how doing so will strengthen both S60 and S40, it immediately dawned on me that I heard this somewhere before. I couldn’t quite put a finger on it, until now that is. During Nokia World there was an event called…
