TmoNews Resource told the details about the release of Nokia E73 smartphone. It is known as Mystic (apparently it is the same device). Earlier in the global network have been published several “live” shots of Nokia E73 (Mystic). The new model reminds the ones of the same segment – E71 and E72. Not much is known about its characteristics – it has a 5 megapixel camera and runs on Symbian S60 3rd Edition operating system. And in terms of form factor, Nokia E73 is a monoblock with a horizontal display and a QWERTY keyboard.

The source also informed that Nokia E73 will be available in the summer. At least, the American operator T-Mobile will release the new model in June. And then (or approximately at the same time), it should also appear in other markets. While there is no reliable information about the cost of Nokia E73 smartphone, but it is expected to be relatively low. We should just wait for the announcement of the device: if the release is appointed in June, the announcement may be just around the corner.

There is a lot of information about the new devices of Nokia, for example X10 smartphone with the latest Symbian platform 3, N8-00 smartphone bomb, C5 mobile phone, which occupies an intermediate position between classical and musical devices. The company also announced N97 Mini Gold Edition device with golden elements on the case.

The main feature of the novelty is its case made of 18-carat gold. In addition, the smartphone has multiple applications related to fashion. For example, ELLE 360 Fashion. This program downloads news related to the fashion world from the Internet.

Nokia Ovi Maps will run on smartphones working on Android and Windows Mobile in the nearest future. It became known from an interview with Greig Williams, the General Director of Nokia Alps and South East Europe, who said that it would be the next step of the company.
Now it is difficult to say when the owners of Android and WinMo-smartphones will be able to use the Nokia Ovi Maps service, but now we have the words of the official representative of Nokia that this is possible.

Of course, it should be noted that such actions by Nokia seem strange, because the free use of Ovi Maps encourages customers to buy smartphones of its production. It is interesting to see how the Finns will realize this idea.
Let us remind you that the new version of Ovi Maps was introduced last month. The main advantage of the service is its total free use.

The executive vice president and general manager of Nokia Markets, Anssi Vanjoki, did the thing that is unusual for a company like Nokia, the world’s largest manufacturer of mobile phones. In an interview with All About Symbian and Mobile Industry Review, he confessed to a mistake with the Nokia N97.
Vanjoki confirmed that the problems with the Nokia N97 software were really significant, and that the complaints of users in this regard are well founded. He also added that with the release of the 21 firmware version, the problem has been solved.

Vanjoki also said that the company “learned from its mistakes” and would take into account the software bugs in the Symbian ^ 3 operating system, and devices that it will be based on.
Despite the negative customer experience, N97 has become one of the most popular smartphones of Nokia. The sales of the device are fully justified. Despite the fact that the company was the last to enter the mass market of smartphones with touch screen, its sales in this segment of the outcome in 2009 grew by 42 times.

In early February of this year appeared the first information about one of the representatives of Nokia C-series devices – Nokia C6. Not much was known about the novelty that it was made in the candybar formfactor and equipped with touch screen and QWERTY-keyboard. And all the data were rather rumors than accurate information.
At the moment it became known that Nokia C6 has been approved by FCC (Federal Communications Commission); in the documents it sounds like Nokia RM-612.

According to the existing site description of Nokia, RM-612 is equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g, is designed to work in GSM (quadband) and WCDMA (900/1900/2100 MHz) networks. These, indeed, are all data on the new product.
The date when Nokia C6 will be presented officially is not yet known. There is the assumption that this will happen very soon, plus with C6 the Finnish manufacturer may release two representatives of Cseries: Nokia C3 and Nokia C5.

Some Nokia N900 British users encountered a problem while charging their Internet tablet. It is manifested in the following problem: the plug charger too snugly connects to the connector of the device. As a result, several users pulled the microUSB port of the Nokia tablet entirely when they tried to unplug the charger.

The representative of Nokia commented on the situation: “The users that are confronted with this problem must contact the local service centers of Nokia. The same guarantee applies not only atot Nokia N900, but also to other Nokia devices. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

A lot has passed since the release of the Nokia OVI Maps free GPS navigation, and there are more than 3 million registrations and uploads. Many feared that the abolition of the payment for the use of navigational charts would lead to the deterioration in their quality, because the NavTeq manufacturing company would lose revenues because their cards would be increasingly used, but yield less profit. However, Nokia constantly reiterates that the cards are free only for the consumer, and Nokia and NavTeq have “an internal accounting system” that Nokia pays NavTeq for their maps.

With regard to updating the maps, Nokia announced that the OVI Maps will detect any movement of all users (anonymously), and transmit data on the NavTeq route, which will use them for corrections and maps additions. TomTom is already using a similar program, in the form of IQ Routes data collection. Of course, the user is entitled to disable this option.

Jo Harlow, the head of Nokia smartphones corporate, told about the future of the Symbian operating system and phones based on it.

According to Harlow, the devices running on Symbian ^ 3 will support multi-touch technology and high-performance graphics processing. In addition, Nokia representative hinted that his corporation will fully focus its efforts on touchscreen smartphones, and smartphones with touch screen and QWERTY-keyboard.

Nokia Company has announced that it will not produce the 6216 model, equipped with NFC module. Announced in April 2009, the phone was supposed to be the first model with a Near Field Communication, supporting the SWP protocol. Such a solution would allow payment transactions with authorization by special SIM-cards, rather than through a separate module as the NFC in the 6212 Classic model.

Nokia explained its decision by the reluctance of the market to massively use a system of mobile payments. The model was supposed to appear in autumn 2009, but the small number of NFC terminals with SWP put the 6216 release in doubt. Meanwhile, a representative of Nokia, Mark Selby said that the company in no way loses interest in NFC and hopes to further develop this promising technology.

The official presentation of Symbian3 platform was held on 15 February. As you know, it carries very interesting and useful changes, which are very useful to Nokia phones users. It was noted that the first smartphone, built on that platform, will be seen in the mobile market in the third quarter of 2010, but how it will be called and what specifications it would have is not yet known.
It is likely that this smartphone can be a kind of Nokia X10, details of which appeared on the web. It is reported that this Nokia device running on Symbian3, is equipped with a QWERTY-keyboard, sliding from the side. Judging by the presented images, the novelty is externally very similar to the known member of X-series Nokia X6.

The information will be displayed on the large 3.2-inch touch screen. The built in memory is 16 or 32 GB. If based on published information, Nokia X10 is be the first Symbian-smartphone with a powerful processor from Qualcomm. It is said that the novelty will be equipped with an ARM Cortex A8 processor, the clock frequency is 600 MHz.
In addition to the described, Nokia X10 is equipped with 256 MB of RAM, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth 2.1 modules, microSD slot for memory cards. It has a 5-megapixel camera, which will be equipped with LED flash, autofocus and Carl Zeiss optics.
