Incoming – the Nokia N97
Posted: 18 June 2009
With the launch of the eagerly-anticipated Nokia N97 now imminent, the Finnish manufacturer adds a new handset to its range that it will no doubt hope challenges other flagship devices like the Apple iPhone 3G and the HTC Magic. But what can consumers expect from the model when it hits stores in June?
Unveiled in December at an industry event in Barcelona, Nokia was quick to point out that the N97 would be much more than a regular phone. Billed as "the world's most advanced mobile computer", it was announced as a gadget that would bring together some of the latest technologies in a single unit.
The touchscreen display, which measures 3.5 inches, is where users will be able to take adva ...
The Nokia 5800 - the results are in!
Posted: 25 March 2009
Since Nokia unveiled its first ever full touchscreen device in October last year, there has been no end of sector commentators offering their opinion on it. But now the 5800 XpressMusic has been with us for over two months, has it lived up to the hype of its big launch?
Ahead of its release in the UK, the 5800 appeared in such glamorous locations as the Britney Spears' big comeback video Womanizer and the successful sequel to Batman Begins - The Dark Knight. It was clear from the online forums that anticipation was building for the device and when a press release emerged in October, potential buyers were told exactly what they could expect from it.
In addition to being the first handset from the ...
Nokia 5800: A next generation smartphone?
Posted: 2 February 2009
Since the announcement of the Nokia 5800 in October 2008, many may have been waiting to see what the new handset has in store, as well as how it fares against a number of its closest rivals.
However, with a brand new version of the Finnish manufacturer's Symbian operating system (OS) - configured especially to work in line with the device's touch screen interface - could the 5800 be about to usher in a new age for the touchscreen smartphone?
Ever since the launch of the Apple iPhone, manufacturers have fallen over themselves to offer touchscreen technology. Companies such as Samsung, LG, HTC and even BlackBerry began adapting their handsets to incorporate the new must-have feature. However, Nok ...
Nokia 5800 success shows users ditching iPods for music phones?
Posted: 27 January 2009
The Nokia 5800 looks set to become one of the most popular mobile phones ever released; MobileWhack are reporting that after Friday's official UK release of the Nokia 5800, and including previous sales in overseas markets such as Russia, the Finnish manufacturer have shipped 1 million units of the new touchscreen music phone. But the success of the Nokia 5800 is also raising an important question about how people use their phones. It's one of many handsets that focus on music as a key feature, and with an overwhelming proportion of new mobile phones building music in as one of their main selling points, it begs the question of whether phones like the 5800 will one day completely replace mp3 players, i ...
Nokia re-enters the touchscreen war
Posted: 5 January 2009
The number of touchscreen mobile phones currently available means a great deal of choice is available for those in the market for the latest handsets. However, Nokia has now entered the war to have the most sought after model with the XpressMusic 5800 and the N97.
However, with previous phones such as the 7710 and 7700, the Finnish manufacturer has had a rocky road to get to its latest flagship handsets - as a number of reviews were a little unkind to early attempts to utilise touchscreen technology.
Many people consider the Apple iPhone to be the first mobile to truly offer a touch interface and although the device has revolutionised the way we look at such mobiles - as well as set the bar high ...
