Images and video of new Nokia Windows Phone handsets surface: leaked or faked?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Are those the upcoming Nokia Windows Phone handsets? Hard to tell, but the video and images below sent to MyNokiaBlog from a tipster claiming to be a Microsoft insider (even though using an OVI email account) look very polished and professionally done. Sure, the video below mashes together seemingly new content with old marketing stuff, including some old Microsoft Office Labs footage. But while those could be manipulated images (likely taken from the video below), hands down to the artist, who could well defend a thesis on faking pictures in Photoshop.

Nokia withholding N9 from UK as well
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
It was revealed yesterday that as per Nokia's new plans to go all-in on Windows Phone in the U.S., it would not be bringing the recently announced MeeGo-powered N9 to American shores. While this made a bit of sense for the U.S. market, it is now believed that Nokia will do the same for the UK, though the UK has been much more supportive of Nokia smartphones in the past.

Nokia N9 MeeGo Phone will not be released in United States
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Last week we reported that Nokia will launch the Nokia N9 MeeGo phone in Sweden on September 23. This supported hopes for MeeGo fans that the N9 will come in September as well to the United States. It is not going to happen. Engadget asked Nokia for the US release details and got a response that said that Nokia decided not to ship the Nokia N9 in the United States.
As Nokia is not standing behind MeeGo, it is anyway for the best. It would be just a distraction to buy the Nokia N9. It has no future. It could have a bright future, but Nokia is going with Microsoft Windows Phone OS. We will see how that turns out.
The Nokia N9 has a touchscreen only design without the typical home button. The ...

Nokia N9 countdown timer disappears confusing early wannabe MeeGo adopters
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
The Nokia N9 has been graced with a lot of attention for an experimental device running on a platform doomed in the long-term and it even got its own countdown timer page at Nokia Sweden. But now - just as early MeeGo wannabe adopters started the 45-day countdown until September 23rd, the official N9 release date for Sweden - the Finns pulled the timer from the website leaving a swiftly shrinking user base confused.
What could this mean? The first and most realistic guess seems to be that Espoo has delayed the Nokia N9, but removing the timer might also mean that the company is ready to release the phone earlier.
Or was it just a technical issue? We guess that the answer should come soon, b...

Motorola wants same deal as Nokia from Microsoft
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMicrosoftNOKIAMotorola
At a recent industry conference Motorola Mobility’s Sanjay Jha has confirmed once again that they are open to developing a Windows Phone 7 handset.
"I think we’re completely open to the notion of Windows as a platform," Jha said in an appearance at the Oppenheimer Technology & Communications Conference.
He confirmed however that they would only do it if they achieved special partner status like Nokia has, saying otherwise that at present "clearly, all of our focus today is on Android."
Jha was still waiting to see which OS will shake it for the 3rd place, saying only one of Windows Phone 7, webOS and RIM can survive.
While Motorola has seen an early revival from adopting Android, the compan...

Nokia Siemens Networks lays off 1,500 employees
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIASiemens
Nokia Siemens Networks announced on Friday that it will begin to layoff 1,500 of its employees. The affected staff are part of its WiMAX and GSM divisions, and a spokesperson told Reuters that many of the employees were originally brought on as part of NSN’s infrastructure purchase from Motorola. In March, Nokia Siemens Networks tried to renegotiate the $1.2 billion deal with Motorola to leave the GSM division out of the purchase. Nokia Siemens has had trouble trying to record a profit and its two parent companies, Nokia and Siemens, recently ditched an effort to sell the joint venture.

Nokia N9 countdown page goes live, 49 days to launch?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Google's powers of awkward PR translation may have been right on the MeeGo-money, judging by this countdown page for the N9. The Swedish site, which just went live today, has begun its 49 days and counting creep to the Gorilla Glass-clad handset's eventual overseas debut. We'd previously heard whispers of an impending September 15th release pegged for the OEM's backyard, but we'll err on the side of Nokia's official launch clock. Head to the source to watch this tantalizing tease of time ticking by.

Nokia N8 is used to shoot at the world's biggest stop-motion animation set
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN8
The Nokia N8 is still the reigning king in smartphone cameras with its 12-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens. But is it fit enough to shoot at the world's largest stop-motion animation set spreading on over 11,000 square feet? The answer is yes, but it took not one, but three Nokia N8s to produce this breath-taking minute and a half production called Gulp. The marine-themed stop-motion film Gulp narrates the story of a fisherman going out in the sea only to meet adventure and get eaten by a huge fish, but we won't spoil the whole thing.
Interestingly, when shooting the film the three Nokia N8s were used only for capturing stills, not video. The numerous images were then stitched together giving the ...

Nokia 500 'Fate' destined for Q3, 1GHz processor and Symbian Anna onboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA500
If you're a loyalist that hasn't given up hope on Symbian yet, behold the latest attempt to keep the OS alive and kicking. The Nokia 500 is the first handset to usher in Espoo's new numbering system and has a bit of firepower behind it: a 1GHz ARM11 CPU, 256MB RAM, and Anna are running the show on a 3.2-inch, 640 x 360 "nHD" display. It'll also sport a five megapixel camera and offer HSPA speeds of 14.4Mbps down / 5.8 Mbps up using a pentaband 3G radio. Respectable components for a device billed to be a "low-cost, full-function smartphone." Still intrigued? The black version will ship out sometime in Q3, with its white counterpart to follow in Q4. If you need to have more choices to select f...

Nokia N9 release date pushed to mid-September?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
The Nokia N9 flaunts one of the speediest and most impressive cameras out there, but the MeeGo-running device might be delayed and hit shelves only in mid-September, contrary to early talk about it rolling out in the middle of August. The first piece of evidence came from Orange Switzerland which listed the handset with a release date set for September 15th, while later a number of Russian retailers including second-largest phone seller Svyaznoy confirmed that they expect the phone to arrive in mid-September.
This would mean that the phone is likely to meet even more competition from the very successful internationally and soon-to-arrive stateside Samsung Galaxy S II as well as the iPhone5, ...

Nokia N9 expected to launch August 19th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Nokia hasn't inspired much hope for the future of MeeGo and the Nokia N9, but the captivating UI and colorful design might have intrigued you. Now, it appears that the handset is closer to launch as a Kazakhstan-based retailer has it listed as available for August 19th. The off-contract price stands at nearly $685. At the same time, the N9, went up for pre-order in Russia, one of Nokia's traditional markets where the phone expected to sell big.
Just two days ago, the Nokia N9 cleared yet another hurdle on the road to the market by passing FCC certification. It has also recently appeared on various country-specific Nokia websites countering rumors that the phone won't be available at all in m...

Nokia N9 pops up at the FCC with photos and user manual in tow
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Are you one of those smartphone enthusiasts crossing their fingers in hope that the Nokia N9 makes it to the US? Well, none of the nation's major carriers has officially expressed any interest in offering it, but here is something that slightly raises the chances of the N9 touching US soil after all. Nokia's first MeeGo-powered smartphone has cleared the FCC, and like the case is with most handsets that make it through, both external and internal photos are available accompanied by a complete user manual.
Digging through the filing we see something that was pretty much expected, namely that the Nokia N9 boasts support for pentaband 3G connectivity – just like any self-respecting world smartp...

Nokia's N5 makes Symbian-powered procession through the FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN5
There's something bittersweet about watching a Symbian phone march through the FCC knowing that Nokia is slowly thinning the herd. This particular model, the N5, made its requisite Mr. Blurrycam debut last month and now we've got some details about what the glossy white exterior is hiding. You'll find Bluetooth and WiFi radios inside, which isn't surprising, as well as NFC for all the contactless purchasing your Finland-loving heart can handle. On the mobile broadband side of things, there's support for the 850MHz, 1700MHz, and 1900MHz bands, which means it'll work with either T-Mobile or AT&T. Besides price and release date, the big question on our minds is whether or not anyone will buy a ...

Nokia C3-01.5 leaks with 1GHz processor, might chart the future of Series 40
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAC3-01.5
The Nokia C3-01.5 might have one of the most unusual names in Nokia's lineup, but it will surprise you with more than just a name. This candy bar handset doesn't look any different than the C3 Touch and Type, but it sports a powerful 1GHz chip and 512MB of RAM, and might be the blueprint for future Series 40 devices. Yes, we're no less confused than you to see a 1GHz chip for Series 40 and the relatively small 2.4-inch capactive ClearBlack screen of the device, given that even Nokia's N8 has a 680MHz processor, but that's exactly what the C3-01.5 seems to offer.
Judging by the name, it might not be exactly a final unit yet, but there are similar models expected in Nokia's pipeline. The C2-01...

Nokia plans to drop prices across its entire product line this September in an attempt to bolster sales, industry insider Eldar Murtazin claimed on Friday. The struggling Finnish cell phone vendor will cut phone prices by 10% according to the Russian blogger, who has an extensive history of accurately reporting inside information pertaining to Nokia and other smartphone vendors. “Nokia are going to cut prices for the whole product line by 10 per cent in September,” Murtazin posted on his Twitter account. “They struggle for a market share worldwide.” Nokia’s share of the global cell phone market has been steadily declining as the company failed to adjust its strategy to the changing marketpla...
