Nokia launched the Nokia 500

Today Nokia launched a new smartphone, the Nokia 500. It is an entry level touch screen smartphone that refuses to compromise on quality or performance. Incorporating Nokia’s fastest processor to date, a 5MP camera, a great music and entertainment experience and preloaded with Maps and turn by turn navigation, the Nokia 500 extends Nokia’s portfolio into the entry-level smartphone market without sacrificing quality. As the newest addition to Nokia’s range of Symbian-based devices, the Nokia 500 is built on the latest Symbian Anna user experience with enhanced software features, a faster Web browser and new Ovi Maps.

It’s got a 640 x 360 pixels 3.2-inch capacitive touch display. The phone measures 111.3 x 53.8 x 14.1mm and weighs in at 93g – lighter than any other Symbian^3 phone to date.
The battery will see you through 5-7 hours talk time, 450+ hours in standby mode or up to 35 hours of music playback
There’s 2GB of storage memory, plus the possibility of increasing this by a further 32GB using the micro-SD card slot.

The Nokia 500 will be available in black and white varieties, black first and then white before the end of the year. And there’s three different-coloured back covers in the box. More colours for these will become available soon – including purple, azure blue, pink, coral red, orange and dark silver.

Nokia 500 will cost just €150 before taxes and subsidies, and will be available from the third quarter of this year.

Meet the Nokia X7-00 & E6-00

Nokia today announced two new Symbian devices, the Nokia E6 and the Nokia X7. With the new smartphones, Nokia also introduced its latest software update, known as Symbian Anna.

Nokia X7

Nokia X7 is first 4-inch entertainment smartphone. Made from toughened glass and seamless stainless steel, it offers a unique and durable design that will stand out from the crowd. Offering all the benefits of the latest Symbian operating system, Symbian Anna, it’s a fast and fluid experience from browsing the web to scrolling through your music collection,

This device is purpose-built for entertainment and that includes the media you create yourself

As you would expect, the Nokia X7 comes with free walk-and-drive navigation through the latest Ovi Maps. There’s messaging through Nokia Email and you can connect to Facebook, Twitter and RenRen (in China) using Nokia Social

Key features:

• Dimensions: Size 119.7 x 62.8 x 11.9 mm, Weight (with battery): 146 g, Volume: 85 cc
• 4-inch, capacitive AMOLED Gorilla glass display, resolution of 640 x 360 pixels with 16 million colours
• 8 MP, 3264×2448 pixels, Full focus, dual-LED flash. Support 720p video recording
• Symbian Anna OS with 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, Broadcom BCM2727 GPU & 256 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM
• 350MB built-in memory. microSD Card slot up to 32GB, 8GB included
• 802.11 b/g/n WiFi support
• 3.5mm audio connector
• 1200mAH battery is rated for up to 450 hours standby and 4.5 hours talktime on a 3G network
• Comes with free walk-and-drive navigation through the latest Ovi Maps
• Comes with Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD preinstalled

The Nokia X7 will be available in Q2 2011 and, before taxes and operator subsidies, it will cost €380.

Nokia E6

Nokia E6, a compact QWERTY and touch device aimed at business and general users who need to get things done while they’re on the move. Busy emailers rejoice – there’s now a new Symbian business device that you can operate single-handed.

The QWERTY and touch experience on the Nokia E6 offers faster navigation and operation than either a pure touch or keyboard-only system. While experienced users can get much faster text-entry from a QWERTY keyboard than they ever will from a touch display, being able to launch apps and choose options through the touch screen is often quicker than navigating through options with the thumbpad. It’s the best of both worlds for busy emailers and status-updaters.

Key features:

Dimensions: Size 115.5 x 59 x 10.5 mm, Weight (with battery): 133 g, Volume: 66 cc
2.46-inch, capacitive TFT LCD display, resolution of 640 x 480 pixels with 16 million colours
8 MP, 3264×2448 pixels, Full Focus, dual-LED flash. Support 720p video recording
• Symbian Anna OS with 256 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM
microSD Card slot up to 32GB, Internal memory: 8 GB
802.11 b/g/n WiFi support
3.5mm audio connector
1500 mAhmAH battery rated for up to a month on standby and 7h30m talk-time over 3G

Comes with free walk-and-drive navigation through the latest Ovi Maps
Bundled software includes QuickOffice, World Traveler, JoikuSpot Premium and F-Secure Mobile Security
USB On-The-Go and AV-out for connecting to a television or headphones

Like other Symbian phones, the Nokia E6 comes with free global walk and drive  navigation through the latest Ovi Maps. It also comes with free push email and IM, providing you have a data plan. The latest Symbian operating system now comes with five home screens, an improved browser and redesigned interface (Symbian Anna). Bundled software includes QuickOffice, World Traveler, JoikuSpot Premium and F-Secure Mobile Security. More apps can be downloaded and installed through Ovi Store.

For the many existing Nokia E71 and E72 users, the Nokia E6 is the upgrade they’ve been waiting for. They now get a much higher resolution screen (four times the pixels), the latest Symbian operating system, Symbian Anna, improved support for Mail for Exchange, Microsoft Communicator Mobile, SharePoint and Office documents.  There’s much more memory, much better connectivity and an 8-megapixel camera. There’s also support for USB On-The-Go and AV-out for connecting to a television or headphones.

The Nokia E6 is expected to ship in Q2 2011 – before taxes and subsidies it will cost €340. North American availability is expected in Q3.

Need For Speed Asphalt 5 On Nokia N8

The latest video is from Gameloft’s official video add for fifth edition of its highly successful car racing game Asphalt demoed on a Nokia N8. In actuality, from a hardware design perspective, Nokia N8 is somewhat usual as it’s using a conventional ARM11 processors based design, the same one that Nokia uses in other 5th edition devices such as Nokia 5800 XM as well as Nokia N97.

Processor is clocked at what appears to be a fairly slow 680 MHz which doesn’t sound appealing to so called power users, enthusiast or even somewhat tech savvy consumers, although it should be fast enough for general use and will handles most common tasks well enough.

Worldwide mobile OS usage in a Graph

In this graph shows the usage og mobile OS in worldwide -

Here are some point of this graph :

• When looking at mobile web usage, the different parts of the world are led by either iOS or Symbian. Apple’s iOS leads mobile web usage in North America, Europe and Oceania, while Nokia’s Symbian leads in Africa, Asia and South America.

• Worldwide, Symbian leads the pack. This is not surprising considering Nokia is the world’s largest maker of mobile phones. After Symbian comes iOS, Blackberry, Android, Sony Ericsson and Samsung, in that order.

• Symbian’s weakest position by far is in North America.

• Blackberry’s strongest region is North America, but it is still behind iOS there.

• Android might be growing fast, but it’s still far from dominating any part of the world.

Is it Nokia N87 ?

Here are the images showing 12 Megapixel prototype from Nokia. However this could very well be even a mock-up or a Chinese clone or even an older prototype.

The phone does not seem to follow Nokia’s recent designing trend but instead combines a bit of Nokia N96 and N86 8MP styling. The materials used are a combination of both hard plastic and steel.

The screen looks like it isn’t a touchscreen and it looks at least 3.0″ or more. Also the resolution seems to be more than the ordinary Nokia phones. The Operating System UI also feels different again raising the question of a mock-up or clone but it doesn’t seem to have the cheap feel. Could be a non-touch version of Symbian^3.

The phone is seen housing a 12 Megapixel camera unit and a Xenon flash. Also beneath the camera unit is a very large and weird battery cover slider. Apart from that we can also see the volume up/down rocker and camera shutter key on the right side. And on the left side we can see the microUSB port, 2 speakers and a microSD card slot.

The phone is available for purchase at an online auction and the seller claims it to be fully functional and that he found it in a bar.

Exclusive ‘Tron: Legacy’ Trailer featuring Nokia N8

Nokia has unveiled a world exclusive trailer of the new Tron: Legacy movie featuring new Nokia N8. Check it out…

Around the 00:50 mark, you’ll see the Nokia N8 acting as the access key which unlocks the Tron Universe in the movie. Check out the Trailer below:

TRON: LEGACY (featuring Nokia N8) is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy Award®-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk.

TRON: LEGACY hits theaters on Dec. 17, 2010 in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D
