These handsets will support Nokia Life Tools, a set of livelihood improvement aids for users in small towns or the countryside. The Nokia 1280, 1616 and 1800 are the most basic of the set and are designed explicitly for areas with harsh climates and poor electr... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/04/nokia.intros.life.tools.service.five.new.phones/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/nokia.n97.mini.now.shipping.20.update.released/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/nokian97mini-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia on Wednesday announced it is now shipping the N97 mini and has released a new update for its N97 smartphone. The newer N97 variant still has a QWERTY keyboard that angles out but has a smaller 3.2-inch touchscreen, a more compact keyboard and 8GB of built-in flash instead of the larger model's 32GB. It costs the equivalent of $664 in Europe, where it's sold unlocked and without a contract an... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/nokia.n97.mini.now.shipping.20.update.released/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/26/nokia.arm.based.smartbook/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/nokiabooklet3g.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia may add a second netbook PC to its lineup besides the upcoming 10-inch Booklet 3G, according to unofficial sources from cellphone makers in Taiwan. They reported on Wednesday that the second netbook will reportedly be based on an ARM processor, like so many of Nokia's smartphones. The Digitimes insiders claimed Nokia may contract Compal or Foxconn to build a device that would fit Qualcomm's... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/26/nokia.arm.based.smartbook/ Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/24/nokia.on.n97.vs.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/nokian97-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia chief Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was put on the defensive late yesterday in an interview regarding the poor performance of the N97 versus Apple's iPhone. When asked by the FT about the critical reaction to his own smartphone, which has been criticized for being too expensive, too slow and lacking a modern touch interface, the executive claimed the N97 was still viable but admitted he wanted to do... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/24/nokia.on.n97.vs.iphone/ Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/07/apple.may.overtake.nokia/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/iphone3gs-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's share of the smartphone market is growing quickly enough that it could overtake Nokia's in as little as four years, according to data from Generator Research. The analyst group sees the market almost reversing itself from its situation today and believes Nokia will tumble from about 40 percent share today to just 20 percent in 2013. iPhones, meanwhile, should accelerate and hit 33 percen... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/07/apple.may.overtake.nokia/ Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/03/nokia.outs.ovi.maps.30/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/ovimapsintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia has recently announced the release of its latest version of its Ovi Maps software used in more than 40 of its GPS-enabled handsets. Now available for download, Ovi Maps 3.0 has a number of enhancements, including high resolution satellite and terrain maps in both 2D and 3D views, as well as 3D landmarks for more than 200 large cities. The latter allows users to view the virtual landmarks wit... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/03/nokia.outs.ovi.maps.30/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/26/nokia.ovi.store.and.att/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/nokiaovistore.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />After an early opening for some areas, Nokia today formally launched the Ovi Store worldwide. Accessible both through the web and through a downloadable app, the service is Nokia's own contender against the iPhone's App Store and puts both third-party apps, N-Gage games, podcasts and videos in a central location. It's primarily intended for Symbian S60 phones such as the 5800 XpressMusic as well... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/26/nokia.ovi.store.and.att/ Tue, 26 May 2009 11:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/08/nokia.ovi.store.to.get.20k/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/nokiaovistore.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia's Ovi Store will open with a much larger catalog than its immediate rivals did when they were new, the company said late Thursday. Executive VP of services Niklas Savander estimates to Forbes that the portal will launch with about 20,000 "items" when it launches in late spring, just ahead of the N97 touchscreen smartphone's July release. While a significant number of these will include sho... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/08/nokia.ovi.store.to.get.20k/ Fri, 08 May 2009 14:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/06/nokia.e52/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/nokiae52.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia today stepped out of its usual schedule to update its entry business smartphones with the E52. The handset replaces the E51 and has the familiar, extra-slim candybar design but much longer talk time: where the E51 officially managed 4.4 hours, the E52 can run for up to 8 hours of calls on GSM and a still-long 6 hours on 3G. It also gets an upgrade to a 3.2-megapixel camera and GPS while ad... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/06/nokia.e52/ Wed, 06 May 2009 11:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/28/compete.on.iphone.and.work/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's iPhone is much more likely to be voluntarily used as a personal device than smartphones from longstanding challengers, a new Compete study shows. Although 59 percent of those surveyed that own BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Mobile phones use theirs primarily for work, about 73 percent of iPhones are used primarily for personal use. To the researchers, the bias is more to do with an emph... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/28/compete.on.iphone.and.work/ Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:20:00 GMT
