Leaked Images Of Nokia’s New Internet Tablet

I’ve just hit upon a few images of what might be Nokia’s upcoming Internet Tablet, the N900 perhaps. It has also been dubbed the ‘Rover’ and yesterday we saw a tablet like device go through FCC and today we have these images, courtesy of Mark Guim on Twitter.

The design is similar to what we have seen on recent Nseries devices and it packs a SIM card slot. The device is supposed to run Maemo 5 and may very well be Nokia’s first non Symbian smartphone (although it will be called …

After a mention of the N97 Mini on Vodafone Ireland’s official forums the rumour mill has been abuzz with activity about a possible N97 Mini, however until today we hadn’t seen a picture/mockup that seemed even a little convincing.

Enter these images that are either the work of a very talented photoshop expert or infact real. From what we can see, the N97 Mini has a smaller build, a 3.2″ touchscreen, no camera lens cover, no D-pad but dedicated arrow keys …

According to a Finnish trademark website Puhelinvertailu, Nokia has trademarked the word ‘Cseries’. Meanwhile, Digitoday has discovered a new lineup of devices called ‘Xseries’ on OAMI’s (The Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market) website.

Rumours Of A Nokia Android Device Abound – More Hype Than Substance

Since S60/Symbian bashing has become the new thing lately, a lot of rumours proclaiming that Nokia will ditch Symbian were expected. However, one piece of ‘news’ that has really sent the rumour mills into a tizzy is this piece published in UK’s Guardian newspaper, ‘quoting industry insiders’.

It claims that Nokia will embrace Android to keep afloat in the smartphone wars and that the announcement of a Android running Nokia smartphone was expected this Nokia World, September 2-3.

The Nokia N97 And India – Price, Availability & Contests

There is a huge level of excitement around the Nokia N97 these days and understandably so. Its launch month June is not even a week away, pre-booking is in full swing, the search for the ‘N’ is on and what now. However, none of this has actually started in India so far.

So I thought I should give all of you in India, a small update on its status. A little pit about the current campaigns, events, expected availability and price.

Rumour: E71 To Get 5MP Camera & FP2

This is one rumour I can’t pass up, specially when it comes from trusted Russian insider Eldar Murtazin. According to the rumour, Nokia is apparently prepping a variant/upgrade to the E71 – the E71i which will feature a 5MP camera along with FP2. There is no word on whether it will be blessed with a 3.5mm jack as well.

The announcement is expected to be around September, probably Nokia World and the handset is suppossed to come out in Brown/Mocha.

Two Nokia 5800 Rumours I’d Like To See Come True

The Nokia 5800 has been a huge hit worldwide, the sales figures have surprised most people. The first S60 Touch device from Nokia was supposed to be an experiment which would pave the way for the Nseries flagship. However, it has turned out to be quite a good device which suffers from just a few follies.
The two aspects I didn’t really like were the resistive touchscreen, which isn’t as responsive as we’d like it to be, and the second being the waste of the screen’s real estate. Two rumors have …

The Nokia N86 Will Have A Dual LED Flash

I was really looking forward to the N86 announcement tomorrow, but I’ve just come across this picture of the N86’s camera. Yes, our worst fears have indeed come true. That’s a dual-LED flash and NOT Xenon.

After taking so very long to release a N82 successor, I simply can’t understand why Nokia chose to skip the Xenon once more? I am distraught.
