Hey look! There are three new Symbian phones out today. What? Where? Why, they're over there, next to the pennyfarthings and the ham radios: the obsolete section. What the crap is going on here, Nokia?
Just when you were mildly impressed with the fact that the Nokia N95 ran Windows 3.1, you can now be slightly more mildly impressed that it runs Windows 98 (apparently). [DailyMobile]
Oh, the beeper-wearing, big-glasses-having software engineers that designed Windows 3.x never could have foreseen this: an industrious young Pole has installed the OS on his futuristic "Enn Ninety-Five" hand-held electronic voice paging device.
After besting BlackBerry and the Razr, the iPhone has seized its largest parcel of the global smartphone market yet: 16.6 percent. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually a pretty big deal.
The Gadget: The Nokia E66, a slim but luxurious GSM slider smartphone running Symbian S60, with Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G and a 3.2MP camera, to name a few of its many features.
Ever since Steve Jobs showed the speedy new iPhone 3G in a browser faceoff against the Nokia N95 at WWDC, users on Howard Forums have been crying foul. They say His Steveness's test of loading the National Geographic homepage was bogus because the N95's browser uses Flash, a feature that the iPhone's Safari lacks. Weā¦
Besides the iPhone or maybe even the RAZR, Nokia's N95 has to be the most cloned cellphone in recent Chinese history (not counting the ridiculous copiers in the Tang dynasty). In this case, it's called the MM95 and it's about the length of a guy's finger and the width of two. Exwang.cn (heh heh, wang) has more pics,ā¦
If you play in the Windows Live sandbox (Hotmail, Messenger, Live Contacts and Spaces) and use a Nokia S60 phone, your life just got easier. Available today in a whole buncha places it wasn't before, the Windows Live app for S60 syncs your Live contacts and Hotmail account with the phone's address book and mail clientā¦
Official word from Nokia is that the next (and maybe last) firmware update for the US N95 is due in just a few weeks. Exciting, because Symbian Guru speculates it'll come with support for Flash Lite 3, Demand Paging, Web Runtime and a bunch of other tweaky goodness. What are you hoping they add (or fix) in the update?ā¦
The official announcement won't be until next Monday, but the N-Gage blog just let everyone know that their cellphone gaming platform went live today. If you've got an N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95 or N95 8GB, you can go download and install the service now (available on both Mac and PC). If you've got an N73, N93i and N93,ā¦
We heard of Nokia N95 8GB availability on US shores a little while back, but it now looks officially official, all with proper HSDPA connectivity under its hood. The feature packed handset has impressed us no end, and Nokia know how to sweeten us up, as the N95 8GB will be shipping with six months free voice-directedā¦
If you just got an N95, are drooling over its successor, the N96āor any Nokia E or N series phoneāGigaOm has a great list of apps you should load up to the get the most out of Symbian. Here's a few: Gmail for Mobile (mercifually designed for numeric keypads); GooSync to bring your Google and Symbian Cal together; Fring
Nokia has developed software that allows data to be received from GPS enabled phones, which is then compiled and interpreted into traffic flow patterns, which is kinda similar to what Dash GPS units offer. However, these plans are currently at concept stage, with a demonstration recently taking place as a jointā¦
The Germans over at Nokia have posted the N96 specs on Nokia's Germany product page. There are still no official images but the N95 successor has the same obvious specs, 3G, 2.8 inch LCD, WiFi b/g, AGPS, 5MP camera, and MicroSD slot. What's new to this model is the 16GB internal memory, 950 mAh battery, ability to useā¦
How do you improve on the Samsung G800, a 5-megapixel 3.5G camera phone with a 3x optical zoom lens? You add Wi-Fi, of course, and while you're at it, you make the LCD screen 0.2" larger, so that it's now a spacious 2.6". If the G810 is really going to take on Nokia's N95 multimedia powerhouse, it will have to improveā¦
The Pitch Nokia ramps up its N95 8GB campaign with this lyrical-yet-baffling spot, featuring an array of international archetypes absorbing media in ways that may soon be obsolete: sitting in darkened cinemas, listening to battered boomboxes, watching interference-addled TVs. The narrator's ghostly voice spills forthā¦
Nokia just told me that the N95 8GB USA edition with HSDPA support for 3G is official.
Not a huge deal, but the Nokia N95 8GB US version is on their official site now, just aching for your $779. Update: this isn't the US version like we talked about before, this still has European 3G. Sorry for the confusion. [NokiaUSA]
According to MobilecityOnline, they're getting shipments of the North American 8GB Nokia N95 on February 15. Why's this notable? Because the North American Model includes support for our 3G, which is much better than not having support for our 3G. Pre-order now, but be aware that MCO has pushed their launch dates backā¦
