Posted by L.K. On July - 27 - 2010

More than two months, designers corporation created sketches of the device and now they offer internet users to choose the one they like the best.

Recall, according to the results of the May vote, the ideal smartphone Nokia should have a 4 “capacitive screen,an aluminum case with a width of 10 mm, an 8 megapixel camera with four-time optical zoom, support for multiple operating systems, USB 3.0 and HDMI ports, surround-sound system e.g. Dolby Surround, a temperature sensor and etc.

After the vote, Nokia promises to provide a 3D-model of smartphone. What fate awaits this concept is not known yet.

Nokia To Prepare New Ovi-Browser?

Posted by L.K. On July - 27 - 2010

Nokia is planning to enlarge the list of items under OVi-brand. This time it’s not going to be something connected with Maps or Mail but rather a browser itself. This became known due to the download page leak in two different sites- Beta Labs website and Ovi website. Though none of them is active, but still it’s still assumed that they will “get turned on” soon.

However, Nokia does not comment on the development of Ovi Browser. It is possible that Ovi Browser is intended only for Symbian-smartphones, although most likely the Web browser can also run on Maemo and MeeGo platforms. The most optimistic analysts do not rule out that the Finnish company may try to go out and start a development of desktop browsers.

Nokia Ad Showing Android on Nokia 5230 and Nokia X6

Posted by L.K. On July - 27 - 2010

While walking down the Oxford Street in London, you’ll get a chance to witness a rather weird poster showing out two devices of Nokia brand. They are  Nokia 5230 and Nokia X6. No, there’s nothing weird about the device and the carrier in form of a popular 3.

The only unusual thing is that both of the devices are running Android operating system, which is so far has never been used as a basis for Nokia devices. And there are not even such plans to make any.

The reply from the company was something expected.  The Head of Mobile Solutions of Nokia Anssi Vanjoki that the idea of having Android is simply a rumor.

This means that the carrier should be at least more attentive while making the advertisement posters.

Nokia C5 Photos

Posted by L.K. On July - 26 - 2010

The camera featuring devices of the Nokia are mostly going with the C series. One of these outstanding device is surely Nokia C5. Let’s have a look at the camera of the device.  The fact that the device is not equipped with an Autofocus gives an idea that the pictures taken by this gadget are not going to have a good quality.

We don’t really want to argue with you, but we would rather give you a list of photos taken by this device so that you can make the decision by yourself.

Recall that the most disadvantaging part of the camera of the device is the poor performance of the video. This means that you can take a video with only 15fps, which is not that appealing!

Nokia To Priorize Antenna Over Design

Posted by L.K. On July - 18 - 2010

After rather humorous announcement according to about how to hold Nokia devices, now the company released a special announcement about how hard Nokia is trying to get everything through. It talks about the facts that company has been developing the antenna service for a few decades.

And then come the claims about the research programs held by the company. The research has to do with the human behavior toward the devices and more precisely the way they hold it.

But the most attention was paid to the last sentence : ” … we may not have any drool-worthy UI around here, but they, at least our phones can actually make calls”.

This means that the company is getting serious about the competition.

Nokia Losing Popularity Among British Youth

Posted by L.K. On July - 18 - 2010

YouGov, which is the leading company for the market research in the UK, has recently published a study called Mobile Internet Experience. It is interesting because it shows how popular is a particular brand among the young people. Well, studies have been rather disappointing for Nokia. New smartphones of the Finnish company enjoy less and less popularity.

YouGov conducted a survey last month (most likely only in the UK) among 2,121 users of smartphones with the question – what brand smartphone you bought? 56% of respondents said that it was Apple iPhone, 34% said that Nokia, 31% – BlackBerry, and 28% – HTC. It is worth noting that a similar survey conducted in December of the last year, and the percentage of people who have chosen Nokia, was 46%. So, 12% for 6 months is not enough a pleasant result.

Experts believe that the impact on the popularity loss is based on Symbian operating system. But it seems, Meego will be able to compete with iPhone OS and Android.
