The mighty Finns of Nokia have just released their Q1 2006 report and boy oh boy has business been crazy good in Espoo. If you don't feel like slogging through their numbers, here are a few key facts: their device market share of 35% keeps them on the top of the global leaderboard, net sales in the US have doubled year on year, and the N70 smartphone (at left) is both their highest revenue generator and the world's number one selling 3G (WCDMA) device. Nokia posted a net sales increase of 29% and a 30% increase in mobile sales over Q1 2005.

The PMP is much bigger than I expected, with dimensions in the husky PSP range rather than the slick iRiver range. The video quality was excellent and the UI was pleasing and easy to understand. At a tech show chock full of PMPs, MP3 players, and other junk that just didn't "get it," it's interesting to see that Viliv has a wow factor that they other guys can't touch.

IMG_0769.JPGThe N70 is like the PMP's in-car buddy. It's basically a GPS unit with media functions and has the same bulbous/laquered design. As someone mentioned in one of the comments before, "Is innovation now just industrial design?" I'm going to have to say "Yes." If it doesn't work well and look great, it won't sell. Anyone can OEM a flash drive. But can anyone make one we'd like to buy?

Interestingly, the screen brightness reacts to ambient light and is very crisp and clear.

Battery life was good—a few days between charges with regular use—and the pictures the N70 are incredible. David Ponce, the reviewer, took some snaps of veggies in a grocery store and it looks like a National Geographic photo shoot. Nice.

Ultimately, this is one smartphone that seems to do everything right.
