All the Nokia news these days seems to be revolving around Microsoft and Windows Phone 7, but for good reason. Besides, we’ve been hearing all kinds of things about the Symbian Foundation closing up shop, shutting down its website and Nokia picking up the slack where the foundation leaves off. So it probably doesn’t come…
Nokia’s flagship enterprise focused device, the E7, has finally come to the United States after an excruciatingly long wait time. This thing was announced back in September 2010, so that’s what … over half a year for the boat to go from Finland to America? You can pickup the E7 from Nokia’s very own online…
An unnamed Nokia Executive, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, has said: “We will be launching 40 models in 2011 of which at least 30% would be smartphones.” This news isn’t exactly making us bust out the champagne because that’s right around how many models Nokia has been releasing every year for the past…
Remember AR.Drone, that sexy-lookin’ quadricopter we’ve first seen at last year’s CES? Thus fur it was an iPhone thing only, but not anymore. Nope, Parrot (which makes the AR.Drone) hasn’t unveiled its own application for other platforms — rather we’re talking about a home-made project that allows Symbian^3 device owners (i.e. those of you with…

IDC claims Android will snatch up 45% of the worldwide smartphone market share by 2015,…
Despite the fact that Nokia won’t give Symbian the attention it once has, there are still quite a few people digging the platform. Moreover, the same folks can’t wait to get their hands on the Nokia E7, which is definitely the single best product ever made by the Finnish company. I’ve had a few minutes…
After promising to launch new versions of both Opera Mini and Opera Mobile at CTIA last week, we’re happy to say that the Norwegians have kept their word. While the user interface hasn’t changed with Opera Mini, performance has gone up. Scrolling and panning speeds have improved considerably since version 5, and there’s also now…
It looks like Canada beat the U.S. to getting the Nokia C7. Wind Mobile is now selling the Symbian^3 handset for $350 off-contract, and if you pick one up this weekend, they’ll throw a Nokia 5230, because they’re nice like that. As far as plans go, Wind Mobile has recently announced an awesome new Unstoppable…
Just when I thought I’d grown completely sick of Angry Birds and hearing and seeing the game almost everywhere I turn, Nokia and Rovio put something together that made me think, “OK.
