Just a day after popping up on NaviFirm, Nokia's Symbian Anna has finally arrived for download, right on schedule.

Apple, Nokia, and Qualcomm bidding for InterDigital's 8,800 patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleNOKIA
Last month the big news in the patent space was the $4.5 billion winning bid for Nortel’s portfolio of 6,000 patents. This week it was obviously Google’s purchase of Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, which includes their portfolio of 17,000 patents and 7,500 additional patents that are waiting to be approved, that showed us yet again how important it is for companies to have a vast stockpile of patents in order to defend themselves from potential litigation. Next month we’re going to have yet another huge patent acquisition story to report, the 8,800 or so patents owned by InterDigital. According to Reuters, Apple, Nokia, and Qualcomm are said to be in the bid for InterDigital’s extensive...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftAcerNOKIAWindows Phone 7
The fact that Nokia and Acer are busily preparing Windows Phones is no secret, but Sea Ray and W4 may not be the manufacturers' only projects. Elbert Perez, a Windows Phone game developer with a keen eye for statistics, was looking through a list of the various devices that run his games, and a couple gems stood out -- the Nokia 800 and Acer M310.

Report: Compal to start shipping Nokia’s first WP7 smartphones, 2 million in total
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIACompalWindows Phone 7
According to Dan Nystedt, ex IDG news, Compal is to start shipments of their first batch of Windows Phone 7 smartphones for Nokia, expected to include the Nokia Sea Ray.
The shipments would be in time for the announcement and simultaneous release of the handset at Nokia World in London on October 26th, and will apparently total 2 million handsets in Q4 2011.
If Nokia does manage to sell all of those handsets it would mean a substantial bump in the number of Windows Phone 7 handsets sold in 2011, currently likely sitting around 5 million.
Nokia has said in 2012 volume shipments will start which will flood the market with a variety of handsets at a variety of price points.

Closing Nokia stores should be converted to Microsoft stores
Like UnlikeFiled in: MicrosoftNOKIA
With Nokia’s fortunes falling, they have been forced to shutter some of their stores because of decreased demand. They have closed stores in the UK, US and recently in Russia. These stores were located in prime location so it is shame to see them go. I have no idea if Nokia still owns the buildings but wouldn’t be great if Microsoft bought these stores and converted them to Microsoft stores? They are already in ideal locations, already designed to sell electronic devices so the remodel and conversion should be quick.

Nokia to undercut Android prices to gain U.S. market share
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
Nokia’s head of North American sales Chris Weber sat down in an interview Business Insider recently and explained how the Finnish company will regain its market share in the United States by writing “one of the greatest turnaround stories in history.” Weber said that Nokia will release a number of new smartphone models running Microsoft’s Windows Phone Mango operating system and will compete with Android by pricing several of them lower than the cheapest Android models.

Nokia N9 gets axed in Germany, global tour looks even more meager
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Like slowly waking up from a sweet dream, the Nokia N9 is gradually slipping away from our conscious mind before it's even released. We knew Stephen Elop & Co. didn't have high interest in the one (and only) Meego smartphone in its repertoire, but it's becoming very clear exactly how much the handset doesn't matter to the company.

Nokia keeps smartphone lead thanks to existing inventory sales: Gartner
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
While many other analyst firms are proclaiming victory over Nokia for Apple, and a quick look at the number of smartphones that each company claimed to ship last quarter would lead you to believe that is the case, research firm Gartner says that Nokia is still the number one seller of smartphones in the world, thanks to an aggressive push in moving old inventory stock out of stores. This lead won't last long though, as Gartner predicts that Apple will surpass Nokia in retail sales next quarter.

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.

Windows Phone 7 to make iOS and Android look outdated says Nokia's president
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftAppleNOKIAGoogleiOS 4Windows Phone 7Android 2.3
Nokia president and head of North American operations, Chris Weber (no, not the former NBA star) has laid down the gauntlet. In an interview yesterday, the Nokia executive said that Windows Phone 7 makes iOS and Android look outdated. Weber says the big difference between the platforms is that while iOS and Android are built around apps, Windows Phone 7 is built around a user's contacts making things easier and quicker with some functions requiring fewer steps.

Sanjay Jha, Motorola's CEO, has commented that he wishes Motorola could get a similar deal to Nokia's with Microsoft, which sounds funny as the general opinion is that since they adopted Android, Motorola's got their shit together in recent years.

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...
