Nokia armed with Google search

nokiaNokia has teamed up with Google to facilitate web search on its products and launched models with added new services on Nokia N96, Nokia N 78, Nokia 6210 Navigator and Nokia 6220 classic at Mobile World Congress at Barcelona (February 11-14), while extending the feature to other Nokia mobile for future.

The de customer base of Nokia in over hundred countries will be able to use Google search in days to come with location based navigation services.

Hailing the models launched as mini personal computers Nokia’s Chief Executive Officer Olli Pekka Kallasvuo said, “As we continue to free the internet from the limitations of the desktop, we are taking mobility into a completely new realm of possibility.”

The sets are endowed with personal navigation software that can guide pedestrians with detailed digital maps with movie viewing to video and photo sharing devices.

Nokia 3120 Classic cell phone

Nokia 3120 ClassicDon’t let that rather dated exterior fool you, because the newly announced Nokia 3120 Classic cell phone comes equipped with all the latest technology that you’ve come to expect from the Finnish phone-maker.

It’s a pretty standard-looking candybar with a large color display, five way navigator, and a rounded bottom (the bottom is similar to the 8800, except this is obviously not a slider).

A look at the features, however, will quickly unearth some totally acceptable and respectable specs. In addition to the quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, the Nokia 3120 Classic also gets North America-friendly WCDMA 3G radios (850/1900) for a high-speed connection on the go. Alternate configurations bring up 3G radios for Europe and Australia/South America. The other wireless connection comes by way of Bluetooth 2.0.

Nintendo Game & Watch Mobile Phone Revealed

Nintendo Game

If Sony can make a cell phone, if Microsoft is considering a cell phone, why can’t Nintendo jump into the mobile phone market too? That seems to be thinking behind this latest creation, though it’s probably a little too retro to go over well with the mainstream crowd.

A random modder has decided to take an ancient Octopus Nintendo Game & Watch handheld for 1981 and contort it to become a cell phone cover for a more modern handset. Normally, this wouldn’t be much more of a feat that hollowing out the innards, but the modder has apparently retained all the gaming functionality of the 27-year-old gaming machine. The Octopus lives.

Anyone who grew up in the 80s alongside these strange beige and red creations from Nintendo will surely get a little hit of nostalgia with a creation like this. Perhaps the even more amazing part is the Game & Watch still works after all this time!

Symbian confident of Nokia’s support

Nokia announced it was buying Trolltech on Monday, with a view towards making it easier for developers to design applications that work across all mobile and desktop operating systems. Norwegian firm Trolltech makes Qt, a graphical user interface (GUI) toolkit. Qt is used on the Linux desktop environment, KDE, as well as a multitude of applications such as Skype and Google Earth. Qt’s mobile offshoot, Qtopia, has also been used on many handsets made by Motorola.

However, Nokia is also the major shareholder in Symbian, whose operating system it uses for its Series 60 and Series 40 mobile platforms. Another part-owner of Symbian is Sony Ericsson, which is also half-owner — along with Motorola — of the Symbian-based UIQ platform. Nokia also owns the Carbide set of development tools, which are used for UIQ.

On Wednesday the Ovum analyst Adam Leach wrote on his firm’s website that the acquisition reflected well on Nokia and Trolltech, but was “bad news” for Symbian and “even worse news” for Motorola. Read more…

Cell phone review: Nokia N810 internet tablet

Nokia’s N810 internet tablet has a slide-out keyboard and GPS for navigation. Is that all it needs to keep us from breaking out our laptops and smartphones?

Design - Good

The Nokia N810 seems to update the design of the N800 only slightly, until you slide out the full QWERTY keyboard underneath. The device is simple and elegant, with a touchscreen just over 4-inches diagonally, and only a couple buttons on the face, a “Swap” and “Back” key. Along with the keyboard, the device also hides a 5-way navigation button and a menu key under the slide, though we think both of those keys deserve a place front and center on the face. We did like the new “Zoom” button up top, the difficulty accessing zoom features was a complaint we had with the N800. Read more…
