Nokia Teases Swiveling Touchscreen Phone, Leaves It Shrouded in Mystery

Mark Wilson — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 15:00:00 EDT

During an otherwise uneventful podcast on the S60, Nokia revealed this shot of an unnamed concept device. It features a big touchscreen interface like the HTC Touch or the iPhone, but a QWERTY keypad can fold out while the touchscreen swivels, transforming the candy bar device into a premium clamshell. We'll have to wait and see whether or not anything comes of the concept, but if Nokia knows what's good for them, we'll hopefully see the real product soon enough. [Cell Passion via BGR]

This Is What a Nokia E90 Blasted With a Shotgun Looks Like

Someone blasted their Nokia E90 with a 12-bore shotgun. And then decided to put the bent and twisted piece of telephony up for sale on eBay "for parts." Or for laughs, because then someone decided to buy the remains of the smartphone for $20.50. Apparently, he didn't realize that not a single part of this phone would work, as the E90 is mostly a single sandwich of printed circuit boards. Gunshot gallery is below.

The eBay blurb describes it as Bluetooth Enabled, Calendar, email, GPS Navigation, Internet Browser, MP3 Player, PDA-PC Sync, SMS-Text Messaging, Speakerphone, Unlocked, Video, Smartphone. And then he goes and tells us it doesn't even turn on. Tsk. Who knows, maybe the buyer just needs to replace the letter "E" for "End of Life" or "T" for "Trash."

Big and Proud: More Impressions of the Nokia e90 and the iMate Ultimate

Louis Ramirez — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 05:57:08 EST

I'm pretty superficial when it comes to my cell phones. I like them thin and stylish—drop them in your pocket and forget they're there. They gotta be smart too, I won't settle for any crap interface (although since I'm on Verizon, that's tough to do). So you'd think I'd be all over Samung's new Ultra series, right. Eh, not really. They need more carbs. Much to my surprise, I ended up falling for these two fatties instead. Nokia's E90 and the locked in glass iMate 7150. The E90 is huge. No doubt about it, but the over-sized keyboard feels great. As for the iMate, it's kinda like an E90 with WM6 (size-wise). Take a look and see what I mean. – Louis Ramirez

Dual-Screened Nokia E90 Communicator Sees the Light of Day

Charlie White — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 07:54:18 EST

The Nokia E90 Communicator has come out of the blurry shadows and into the sharp spotlight, showing off its 3.2 megapixel camera, Edge, WiFi and HDSPA goodness on two screens, one inside and the other out. That outside screen is a conventional 240x320 while inside it's packing an expansive 800x352 screen that can show you an entire width of a web page, no sweat.

If that's not enough, Nokia crammed even more stuff inside, including GPS with Nokia maps and an FM radio. For all that power and goodness, you're going to have to shell out some relatively big bucks—it'll set you back about $1000 without a contract, first available in Q2 of this year.

Dual Screened Nokia E90 First Pics: Fold Out Series 60 Fun

Gizloco — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 09:01:08 EST

The first pictures of the Nokia E90 just hit the 'net and, if you have the patience to look at really blurry shots, you'll find out a few things. If the pics are real (we won't really know until next week's 3GSM conference), we can look forward to a fold out type cellphone, like the Nokia 9500. In addition to the pics, we've got a good idea as to what the specs will be: 3.2-megapixel camera, EDGE, Wi-Fi and HSDPA (woo!). The phone's two screens impress as well, with the external one coming in at 240 x 320 and the internal one at 800 x 352.

Since it's a Nokia, it'll run on Symbian Series 60 and not that fancy Windows Mobile 6 we've all been drooling after for the past few days. The E90 seems decent, but I prefer to see pics that are better than the Zapruder film in quality. – Nicholas Deleon
