On September 25th Nokia set a new record making the biggest cinema screen. It happened in Rosengard, Sweden, it was 1,428 square metre (that’s 51 metres x 28 metres), the previous record was set in Great Britain and the screen was measured 51m x 28m.

Aproximately 1500 Swedes were watching The prince of Persia on the huge screen and all of them were surprised of the Nokia N8’s features, as the movie was shown through the Nokia N8’s mini HDMI port and sent to four XLM HD30 projectors and the screen was held by two giant cranes.

I think this is a great marketing strategy to increase Nokia N8’s sales, though it was not an easy task, as it took a lot of planning, people and specialized equipment to make sure it all comes together.

Today Nokia launches its new smartphone 5230 which gonna become one of the most popular smartphones of Nokia. Now I’ll try to introduce the features which will give to the phone some advantages in comparison with other smartphones.

At first, I have to say that the phone’s weakest feature is its display – only 3.2 inches, but this will affect on the device price.

Buying the Nokia 5230 you’ll be able to download music from the Ovi Store, which has got a 10-million strong collection, for 12 months. You can also get free internet and mail access for 6 months and free in-car cradle letting you access Ovi Maps on the move.

The Nokia 5230 Comes With Music will be available via T-Mobile from October 1st and will cost just £99.99.

Yesterday Nokia N8 started shipping and those users who had pre-ordered the phone via Nokia Online Shops and Nokia retail stores will receive their devices firstly.
Below is some pictures of the shipping process:

The Nokia N8 has received the highest amount of consumer pre-orders in Nokia history as it is one of the fastest smartphones in the world coming with Symbian^3. The smartphone is based on the new Symbian which allows users to run multiple apps and switch between them easily. The device is also equipped with the world’s best phone-camera – 12Mp, you can get HQ photos and HD videos, share them or transfer large files via USB-on-to-go or upload photos to social networks straight from the homescreen.

As the latest version of Ovi Store is available on the Nokia N8, it gives an easy access to more apps like Need for speed or Tesqo. Also, with Ovi Maps you have drive and walk navigation in more than 70 countries worldwide. Now the users can download the latest version of OviMaps from Nokia Beta Labs which features visibility to public transport in 85 cities around the world. the app has got a real-time traffic, safety camera alerts, visibility to parking and petrol stations, and speed limit warnings.
Finally, we don’t have to wait any more. I hope the device will come without any defects. We have been waiting for it so long!Watch the interview with EVP Niklas Savander about Nokia N8 shipping details bellow:

Probably, all of you want to see how the phones introduced at Nokia World 2010 look. Three of these handsets run Symbian^3 OS and only the Nokia C3 Touch and Type is running the new touch-optimized version of S40.

Now we have grabbed many pictures of Nokia C7, E7, C6-01 and C3 Touch and Type. Let’s look at them. All these phones are touch-based and it’s interesting that the C3 Touch and Type is less attractive (the only advantage of it is the mixture of touchscreen and hardware keyboard), but now these 4 phones are being introduced together, may be the developers want to do this model promotion in this way.

Anyways, let’s get a look at the pics!

When we talk about Nokia N-series phones, at first we imagine huge memory, wide touchscreen display, fast running processor, fine capturing camera, full QWERTY keyboard and much more features like supporting 3G, recording HD videos and running the latest version of an OS. Now the Nokia N8 is coming in more developed view, and the features it has got are very awesome.

The specs mentioned above introduce the power of Nokia’s N series phones, though some fans have made amazing videos called “it’s not the technology, it’s what you do with it” showing N8’s use in different areas of life, but the Nokia N8 doesn’t need any additional ad, as it is very attractive with its features.

The original N-series vision video is below, after enjoying it let’s see what features have the devices from N-series:

Nokia N97 and N900 from N series are equipped with 32GB internal memory allowing users to keep more favorite multimedia files in their phones, the Nokia N8 comes with 16GB memory storage which can be expanded up to 32GB via MicroSD slot. All the three smartphones come with 3.5 inches touchscreen displays, the main difference refers to Nokia N8’s AMOLED capacitive display, the other two handsets have got TFT resistive touchscreens.

These phones run ARM processors, but if the Nokia N8 and N97 are working with 1GHz proccesors, the N900 runs 600MHz, also note that N8 suppors 3D graphics. N-series phones always stand out for their cameras: there are 5 Mp cameras behind N97 and N900, N8 now can capture with 12 Mp. In addition, Nokia N8 runs Symbian^3 OS (the N97 runs Symbian OS too, but the N900 does it with Maemo 5).

Now we understand why Mobile Computing 2010 was designed to show how far you can push the boundaries with Nokia devices.

Besides the amazing smartphones introduced at Nokia World 2010, Nokia C3 Touch and Type was announced too. Now Nokia has decided to launch it firstly in India, then in the UK. IC Tech News reports that the phone will be available in Indian stores by mid-October 2010, and will cost around 9000 Rupees.

The main advantage of the phone is the mixture of touchscreen and hardware keyboard, which promises a great usability. The phone is also equipped with a 5 Mp camera, Bluetooth and WiFi making it an impressive handset when it comes to browsing the internet.

We don’t know how much its price will be in the UK, but we will keep you informed, as soon as we have some details.

Nokia fans got some information about Nokia N8 release date from Mobiles.co.uk, the mobile retailer dated the first N8 for UK market for the third week of October.

 You can pre-order the phone in two colors: graphite and silver, but there is no exact information when the users can have it in their hands.

At Nokia World 2010 Nokia N8 was introduced officially and its release date was announced sometime on October, and now I think the retailer site just wants to make some noise around its name.

Two days ago the UK major reseller announced Nokia E7’s price, though it will be available only on January 10th. We know that this phone isn’t going be a cheap one, and you have to pay £585 (inc. VAT) buying through Expansys, which is nearly £250 more than the cheapest Nokia N8 price – £330.

At Nokia World 2010 the company called this model “mobile office” because of its great features. The Nokia E7 is one of the most awaited smartphones of 2010, and it’s equipped with several amazing features such as 12 Mp camera, 4 inches touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, its memory can be expanded up to 32GB and it is covered with anodised aluminium. That’s true, this model is more attractive with its features than Nokia N8, but the price wouldn’t be so high.

Some rumors say that Nokia E7 will be available in the fourth quarter of this year, but Expansys announced it will be set to deliver in January 2011. Nokia has no control on reseller pricing, but the smartphone will be available via other resellers – including Nokia Online, and we hope the device will be cheaper.

I wonder how much you are willing to pay for the Nokia E7, whether the offered price is high for you or not.

Several days ago I have told you about Nokia C6-01, which is the deserving successor of Nokia 5230. Now I wonder whether Nokia C7 can be a good replacement for Nokia X6. From the video we already got sure the Nokia C6-01 gonna be one of the most popular smartphones of 2010, and like this one Nokia C7 features a capacitive 3.5 inches touchscreen which also adds AMOLED color technology.

Though Nokia has made a great deal about X6 design, but in comparison with Nokia C7, we see a real difference and the last one looks a lot more modern.

The Nokia C7 is heavier than X6, as the last one is made of plastic and the second smartphone is made of stainless steel.

The phones’ specs are very different, for example it C6-01 comes with a 32GB memory, while C7 has got 8Gb but it can be expended up to 32GB via MicroSD slot. Nokia C7 captures with an 8Mp camera, and its precious model captures with a 5Mp camera.

Both the phones support high-end specs, like GPS and OviMaps, 3G/HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, though Nokia C7 offer faster connectivity due to its Bluetooth 3.0.

I think Nokia C7 is a step forward of the X6, don’t you think the same way?

Though during the last Nokia event- Nokia World 2010, several high class smartphones  were introduced, but while those phone haven’t been released yet, one of the most popular smartphones is Nokia 5230. Those users who own Nokia 5230, can get more out of it, but at first let’s see what features the phone comes with and what changes have been made.

The Nokia 5230 runs Symbian S60 5th Edition OS, its price is lower in comparison with other Nokia smartphones, and this is the main reason this model is very popular. The users have find out that it could be a better smartphone, so the original Nokia 5230 features a processor that runs at 434MHz, but a video was appeared on the web showing Nokia 5230 being overclocked to an impressive 800MHz.

The hack does not reveal itself yet, and if you want to overclock your Nokia 5230 you have to wait. I think it’s pretty impressive, as the phone can work like current best smartphones, which run 1 GHz processors.
