People think that the iPhone made a dent in Nokia’s revenues, but no one realizes that in 2007 Nokia came out with over 30 mobile phones versus Apple’s single SKU. Apple aside, the real threat isn’t the fruit from the west coast, but the businessman from Canada. Research in Motion is estimated to own 10%…
Brief: Looks like N-Gage isn’t going live until 2008, for anyone
Nokia’s N-Gage software platform was unveiled in August of this year with a promised launch date of November. It has since then been pushed back to December with only owners of the N81 being privileged to trial it. Now the official Nokia N-Gage blog is saying no one will get it until 2008 because of…

All 7 images can be found on my Flickr account below, the images came from Mobile Review. Immediate thoughts are it looks like an N81, but even larger. No specifications are known, but people say it is an N95 in a new shell. That would be a sad shame. Update: Upon closer examination it looks…

Nokia patents MagSafe like charger for their mobile devies
Apple fans who have purchased a laptop in the past year or two are familiar with MagSafe technology which dislodges the charging cable if enough force is applied; this is enabled by the use of magnets. Nokia is trying to do the same thing, but on their mobile phones. I don’t really see how this…

Last week Dusan wrote about an all black 6300 and there was only one picture available at the time. Chinese site ZOL has got the scoop with a device that looks like it came straight out of the factory and if you thought the original 6300 was handsome then you have to check out these…
Nokia Nseries helps MTV with climate change campaign and grabs some “green points” along the way
Almost every single corporation which “aims for the stars” invests heavily in its brand. Affiliation with the green causes certainly helps companies add extra points in the eyes of the consumers.
