A Night At Slate (Nokia Open To Anything Event)

Tue, 13 May 2008 22:39:56 -0500

So last Thursday I made the trip out to New York City - to a bar called Slate nestled deep in the heart of Manhattan. It's one of those hip, happening places that I'm not all that used to, living in the 'burbs. Except it's a little different from your average bar thanks to the addition of like 20 pool/table tennis tables strewn around the area.

The event at Slate was Nokia's own "Open to Anything" get-together, hosted by the folks at WOMWorld. A big thanks to Richard, Colin, and Siobhan from WOMWorld for setting up the event and inviting me out there!

Here's a little preview of what went on in that back room.

Nokia. Slate. The N78.

Wed, 07 May 2008 22:38:19 -0500

Engadget's got shots of the Nokia E66 in the wild, along with some more E71 pics - as if you haven't seen enough of those already. The E66 will (probably) be a quad-band slider with a 3.2 megapixel camera and plenty of business-oriented team blah blah software.

Nokia E71 To Be Announced May 8?

Tue, 06 May 2008 22:18:56 -0500

Well, there's even more rumors flying around these days regarding Nokia's E71 business phone. The latest is that the phone will be announced (not even released!) "as early as May 8th," according to Dutch webshops.

The E71 will be Nokia's latest Eseries phone and features a boatload of connectivity options - GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, WLAN and an integrated GPS just for kicks. MobileHelpDesk reports that it'll be 112 x 57 x 10 mm with a QWERTY keyboard, Blueberry-style. 10 mm!

Nokia's Plan to Sell "Lots" More Phones in the USA

Mon, 05 May 2008 22:16:54 -0500

Nokia's presence in America has been pretty nonexistent in recent years. Sure, they have a web site and two Flagship stores that stock tons of XpressPlastic phones, but come on - most people in the US of A get cell phones the old fashioned way: from the carrier. And ever since Nokia exited the CDMA market a couple years back, their hold on the market has dropped to a paltry 7 percent.

One part of Nokia's plan to conquer the US market.

Last but not least of the three handsets announced a couple days ago, is the Nokia 3600 Slide. It's not a whole lot different from the Nokia 6600 Slide, and it's 75 euros cheaper too.

Preview: Nokia 6600 Fold Phone (Wow)

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:13:10 -0500

A new day, and three new Nokias to drool over. First up, the 6600 Fold, a sleek handset that's definitely a looker. Throw in two OLED displays, a little dash of quad-band connectivity + WCDMA 850/2100, some newfangled "tap commands", and an "electromagnetic opening mechanism" and you've got a recipe for sexiness indeed.
