Nokia X6 gets a new software update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAX6
Nokia released a new software update for the X6, its first Symbian S60 5th Edition smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen. Firmware version 32 (or 3.2) brings several performance enhancements while at the same time making the device more stable than ever. In other words, many (if not all) of the known/reported bugs have been fixed and some of the apps updated.
Presuming you own the Nokia X6, go to “Settings” -> “Tools” -> “Software update” or dial *#0000#, hit “Options” -> “Check for update” and take it from there. It is advisable to do this with your battery fully charged and while in a hotspot (so that the download is fast).
Before proceeding make sure to backup all of your data, just in...

Nokia's Android flirtations revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsNOKIAGoogleAndroid
We don't know if this device is "super confidential" or not, but we've just come across yet another Nokia N9 lookalike with a non-MeeGo operating system on board. Well, it looks that way, anyhow. There's no way to verify that the Android homescreen we see above is a legitimate Gingerbread installation and not a mere screenshot (the resolution looks all wrong, for one thing), but the source of this image is the same Chinese fellow that posted a picture of Nokia's Windows Phone prototype, the Sea Ray, way back in May, so we're inclined to believe he's got an inside line on these things. Additionally, the undersized Android UI elements on the screen actually encourage us to believe that this is...

Nokia N950, Another Example For Nokia's Hardware Power
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN950
What you are seeing above is the new Nokia N950 device available exclusively to developers. It won’t be on sale for the public. This landscape qwerty keyboard device packs a gigahertz processor, 8 megapixel camera with carl-zesis optics and other smartphone standard specs covered by a aluminium body as opposed to polycarbonate unibody in N9. On the downside, it doesn’t have NFC and boasts less power battery when compared to its sibling Nokia N9. As expected, it runs on Meego OS. What do you think of Nokia’s latest devices? Nokia N9, N950 and Sea Ray?

Nokia demonstrates its very first Windows Phone device
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Wow, Nokia has been making quite a lot of headlines lately. Only days after the announcement of the Nokia N9 – a supposedly “market disrupting” device powered by the MeeGo platform, the company has lifted the veil off its very first Windows Phone handset. It was Stephen Elop himself who introduced the smartphone in front of an unsuspecting audience, after which Jukka Kiiskinen, a services sales manager at Nokia, demonstrated Microsoft's mobile platform running on the device.
The smartphone is only known by its Sea Ray codename so far, and if Nokia's plans unfold as expected, it should hit the market by the end of this year. Little details have been mentioned about the device, but what we kno...

Sample video taken with the Nokia N9 emerges
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
The Nokia N9 carries an 8MP camera with the Carl Zeiss brand, a logo that the German optics maker gives only after rigorous testing of the picture quality. The Texas Instruments chipset and the 8MP shooter working in tandem process HD 720p video, which is about the norm for 1GHz handsets.

Nokia engineer calls out Stephen Elop for killing MeeGo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsNOKIAMeeGo
Felipe Contreras, a Senior Software Engineer at Nokia who lives in Finland and works on hardware adaptation for MeeGo, meaning he’s the guy who makes sure MeeGo will properly run on shipping silicon, said in a blog post yesterday that he received an email from Stephen Elop, Nokia’s CEO, that one of MeeGo’s biggest problems going forward was the small amount of devices currently in the pipeline. Felipe says that’s absolute nonsense, that no one he knows believes what Stephen Elop has to say about the matter, and that they could throw MeeGo on as many number of devices as they want to since all the complicated work required to get MeeGo to run on a Texas Instruments OMAP processor had to be do...

Nokia claims N9 is 'the fastest image-capturing phone' yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
We've already established that the N9 is a delight of a phone, both inside and out, but our hands-on time with Nokia's new flagship gave us only a brief look at its camera performance. Now the company is graciously filling that gap in our knowledge with some further disclosure about its new 8 megapixel imager, including the lofty claim that the N9 is the fastest phone yet when it comes to capturing an image -- ousting the likes of the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S II, and even the Canon S95, perhaps the best pocket camera around at the moment.

Nokia and Accenture seal Symbian handover deal
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsNOKIA
The Is have been dotted, the Ts have been crossed with a flourish, and pretty soon Nokia will have very little indeed to do with its formerly beloved Symbian OS. Oh sure, the company promises to keep it going with such standout devices as the Oro, but responsibility for developing and supporting Symbian is being wholly handed over to Accenture, along with 2,800 employees. When announced back in April, the deal called for 3,000 Nokia worker bees to make the jump over, so we suspect a few more (hopefully voluntary) redundancies are making up the difference with the new number.

Will the Nokia N9 end up in more than 23 countries?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Last night's introduction of the MeeGo powered Nokia N9 set hearts aflutterin' in many countries, including the U.S. where the initial response was that the device is one sexy handset with the lack of any front-facing buttons at all. With the manufacturer having some problems competing in the U.S. and dropping from its perch as the largest smartphone manufacturer Stateside-a position it had held for the last 14 years-to number three, a launch of the N9 in the U.S. is of vital importance to the manufacturer.

Nokia Now Believes First WP7 Handset Will Launch this Year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Speaking at an event in Singapore today, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the company is on track to release its first Windows Phone 7 handset by the end of the year. Elop said, "I have increased confidence that we will launch our first device based on the Windows platform later this year and we will ship our product in volume in 2012." Nokia has previously been more ambivalent about the launch of its WP7 handsets. Nokia also said that it plans to launch as many as 10 new Symbian handsets during the next 12 months. Nokia is replacing Symbian with Windows Phone 7 as its primary smartphone platform moving forward.

Free Nokia Maps Headed to S40, Anna Arrives in July
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
At an event in Singapore today, Nokia announced that its Series 40 handsets will come pre-loaded with Nokia Maps. Nokia Maps for Series 40 uses cell tower triangulation to locate the phone, and Nokia says it is still able to provide turn-by-turn navigation even without GPS. Nokia Maps for Series 40 will first be available to the C2-03 and will ship with local maps installed. Additional maps can be downloaded over the air. In addition to the maps announcement, Nokia also said that starting in July, the Nokia N8, E7, C7 and C6-01 will ship with the Anna update to its Symbian platform.

Nokia N9 Gets First Press Shots Leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
The Nokia N9 is getting ready for its debut tomorrow at the CommunicAsia 2011 event in Singapore and we already know that it may be the “Lannku” that’s been rumored to be a slimline, all-touch device, instead of the QWERTY slider we’ve seen in previous leaks. And if you’re eager to see what this new Meego device looks like, then be happy to know the very first press shots have just leaked.
As you can see, it is clearly different from the aluminum slider we had anticipated. This new Meego device takes on a form factor that’s reminiscent of an iPod nano along with colorful options to boot. Other specs and details on the phone are still scant, but for a phone that’s been relegated mainly for th...

Is This The Device Nokia Is Announcing Tomorrow?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Nokia’s all set to announce something at the CommunicAsia expo in Singapore, and all signs are saying that it’s the MeeGo-powered N9. The N9 has shape-shifted a few times in its laps around the rumor mill, having started life as a QWERTY-slider and, as shown in this leaked press shot acquired by PocketNow, eventually ending up as a lil’ slab-o-glass. No word yet on any sort of specs or details beyond what’s pictured, though it’ll also come in baby blue and black hues for anyone not down with the Salmony-pink.
What’s that, you say? You thought Nokia was done with MeeGo, and was all about Windows Phone 7 now? You’re mostly right. From what Nokia VP of Product Marketing Ilari Nurmi is saying, N...

Nokia loses patent ruling for discontinued phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia has lost a patent ruling in the UK to a company called IPCom. The patent covers certain 3G technologies, though Nokia isn't too worried about the ruling, since it doesn't currently produce anything that infringes upon IPCom's patent.
The court found two discontinued Nokia devices that did in fact violate IPCom's patent, but nothing in the company's current line-up does."We are pleased that the U.K. High Court declared that Nokia's current products do not infringe the patent," said Nokia. "This means that we can continue selling those products, now with legal certainty."
Unsurprisingly, IPCom was not too happy with how Nokia spun the court's decision. "Nokia is clearly misleading the pu...
