The Nokia E6 and the Nokia X7 were introduced last month, both representing the high-end lineup based on Symbian Anna OS.  The Nokia X6 is just the upgraded version of the Nokia E72, mainly targeted at business customers. In contrast to this device, the X7 is more of an entertainment device, with a powerful camera and a large display.

The handsets are available for pre-order from Nokia Germany. The  Nokia E6 comes in three colors — black, white and silver, with a price tag of €429.00 (about $620). The Nokia X7 comes in two colors — Light Steel and Dark Steel. The price of this smartphone is €459.00 (about $660).

The Nokia E6 features a 2.4 inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of  640 × 360 pixels, Symbian Anna OS, full QWERTY keyboard, 680 MHz processor, 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED, HD recording and  8 GB of internal memory with a chance of expanding up to 32 GB, 3.55 audio jack,  FM raido, Bluetooth 3.0, A-GPS and a 1500 mAh battery radio, Bluetooth 3.0, A-GPS and a 1500 mAh battery.

The Nokia X7 is equipped with a 4 inch AMOLED display (640 × 360), Symbian Anna OS, 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, HD 720 p, 350 MB internal memory with the chance of memory expansion up to 32 GB of memory. The connectivity of the device includes Bluetooth 3.0, FM radio, Micro USB 2.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 3G HSDPA. The battery of the device is only 1300 mAh, which is strange for such a powerful device.

The devices are basically available for pre-order in all of the stores of Nokia Germany. You just need to make a visit to your local store.

The Nokia E6 was announced recently, and we didn’t know much about it for a long time. Though some pictures surfaced over the net and the smartphone passed FCC approval, we didn’t know when it would come or what features it would bring. We only knew the phone was a worthy successor of the Nokia E71 and the Nokia E72, it ran the updated version of Symbian^3 operating system called Anna and was equipped with an 8MP camera.

The phone sports a powerful, but yet not a perfect camera, because unlike other Nokia phones it is packed with a full-focus feature. This means all the objects that are further than some 20 inches will stay in focus, and if you try to get a macro image you are doomed to failure because the camera doesn’t capture clearly the objects that are closer than 20 inches.

Below are some pictures taken by the Nokia E6, and they look great. Regardless the above mentioned shortcomings, the camera gives nice pictures that are rich in colors. Moreover, full-focused cameras can please those who like to capture pictures quickly. Look at the pictures and decide yourself whether the camera is a good addition to this handset.

While every Nokia fan is waiting for new high-end devices (the Nokia X7 and E6 are the most awaited once at the moment), the company takes care of old models, too. So this is the finest hour for the Nokia E72 because its firmware update is now ready for downloading.

The Nokia E72 firmware update (v54) brings many enhancements and improvements, namely the phone performance and camera’s auto-focus will become better now. Again, we can’t expect anything revolutionary, but it is always pretty nice to see Nokia keeps its old handsets in mind.

The update is about 1MB, and if own a Nokia E72, I guess nothing will hold you from a step forward.

Below is the changelog of the update:

• SIM Lock 3.0 and B2B Certificate, phase 1 added
• Startup settings baseline updated (wk47, 2010) (new dates etc.)
• After a hard reset or on first use, Camera shortcut is replaced with Ovi Store shortcut in the Home screen
• Removal of Ovi Files (service is now outdated)
• Vlingo application removed

I guess you think there is no common feature between the Nokia E7 and E5. Though both smartphones are from the E line, they have quite different form factors and are designed for different users. But putting aside all these contradictory thoughts, the guys from NokNok.tv decided to compare the keyboards of these handsets.

The Nokia E7 is a business smartphone with a great messaging functionality, but as you know its keyboard has a landscape view. The Nokia E5 is a BlackBerish phone with a portrait QWERTY keyboard that is quite comfortable for messaging, too.

I guess you’ll agree the Nokia E7’s keyboard is very easy to use when messaging in Facebook or email, and the E5’s is more comfortable for text messages, but both are full QWERTY keyboards, so the comparison is proved, isn’t it?

The Nokia E5’s keyboard inherited the main features of its predecessor, the Nokia E72. But this one focuses on consumers’ feel and look. I have to mention that the main advantage of such smartphones is the fact the keys double up the secondary functions. The rounded rubber keys are very attractive and make a huge impression from the first usage.

There is nothing much to say about the Nokia E7 as its 4-inch touchscreen that is perfect in any situation makes us feel Nokia has worked on it for a long time. But the keyboard is really a great deal, as when you begin to type on the Nokia E7, you don’t face any problem.

Well, after all these words, you have to look at the pictures below and choose which one you like more.

According to one of the latest surveys made by Good Guide, 26 of the top 30 greenest models are designed by Nokia. It could be predicted Nokia’s phones will be in leading positions in this term, but I guess no one has expected that about 90% percent of the list would be filled by Nokia.

The laboratory’s scientists have rated 576 phones depending on their health, environmental and social performance. And taking into account these aspects they give scores to the cell phones based on energy efficient chargers, environmentally-preferable materials, green production practices, recycling programs, and other factors.

It is important to mention the Nokia C6 is in the first position, so we can write down the greenest phone in the world is the C6. But the top ten list of the greenest phones is formed by other Nokia phones, below is the list:

1. Nokia C6
2. Nokia 6700
3. Nokia E72
4. Nokia E5
5. Nokia X3
6. Nokia 5530
7. Nokia x3-02
8. Nokia E73 Mode
9. Nokia N8
10. Nokia C3

On the contrary side is RIM and its 17 phones that finish the list as the lowest rated ones earning 3.3 scores.

Each of 26 Nokia’s phones score scoring 7.7 or 7.6 out of a possible 10 points. Samsung’s Blue Earth phone came in 27th, followed by Motorola’s Citrus and Ecomoto phones and by Palm’s Pixi Smartphone. For comparison, the Apple’s iPhone has earned 5.7 points and Apple earned this score because of its “ethical policies and performance.”

So before critics decide to predict Nokia’s death, I’ll recommend them to take into account this subjects too.

Nokia Beta Labs has just announced their new Symbian S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 Email client, which brings new features and more stability.

The Nokia Email is already installed in many S60 3^rd Edition Feature Pack 2 devices, most famous of them are the Nokia E72, E73, E52, E5, and C5.

Though this is just the beta version of Nokia Email Client but it can solve many problems met during the usage of the previous version of the app. But if you have had no issues with the app, this version (v3.05) will be a good addition to your app list as it is equipped with many useful improvements and one of them is direct HTML view.

The official release of this client will come later via Nokia Software Update so it is a good time for Beta Lab Team to find out which issues it can bring and I guess we all must help them in this deal.

A new app for Symbian will be available at the Ovi Store in a couple of weeks. The upcoming Foursquare app is compatible with Symbian^3 like Nokia N8, Symbian^1 like Nokia N97 and S60 3.2 like Nokia E72. Below is the video from Nokia World 2010 introducing this new app running on Nokia N8.

Foursquare is the latest craze in social networking. Some say this popular app may even be the next Twitter or Facebook. You’ve probably seen one of your friends brag about being the new “Foursquare mayor” of a certain location. Whether you are visiting the local bar or checking out the latest restaurant, the FourSquare app helps you to connect with friends or find new things to do in your hometown.

The app displays restaurants, bars, parks and other attractions in your city. When you visit one of them you automatically “check in” on the FourSquare app, which broadcasts your location to your friends. You also can see where your friends have checked in and meet them at those locations. You can write tips or reviews about the visited places and the other users of FourSquare app can orientate where to spend their time.

Let’s have a look at the two promo videos coming from the Nokia’s India official YouTube website. The first video demonstrates the capabilities of the messaging functionality  and everything concerning it- step-by-step instructions provided. Nokia messaging gives a chance to get in touch with your friends and relatives simultaneously with the help of up to 10 email accounts, which is simply impressive!

The second video is the official advertisement which head to the Indian TV Channels after the appearance of the device on the Indian market. The overall idea of the commercial is to demonstrate the slogan “Connecting People” with the help of popular Indian actors.
