Sports Tracker, the application that allows Nokia smartphone users to keep track of their exercise activities, finally got an online component. To be fair the online component existed in the past, back when the application/service was known as Nokia Sports Tracker. As you can imagine, the new online service allows you to get a big…

The store offers support for at least 11 carriers and it boasts that there are more than “50,000 ways to improve your phone.” The…
The Nokia 5800, one of Nokia’s most popular touch screen models since it was the first touch screen device out of Finland, plus it was super cheap at launch, has just been updated to firmware version 51.

Nokia’s head of sales and marketing, Niklas Savander, went to Twitter today to answer questions about the future of the world’s largest handset maker.

Now unlike McAfee’s desktop antivirus software, the company doesn’t intend to scare the bejesus out of you into buying their bloatware.
