Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, ATT, Symbian, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS

Certainly seems that this thing is actually going to happen — much to the delight of jaded E62 users looking for some kind of relief. The well-scooped E71x has just gotten its user’s manual upped… Continue reading

AT&T-branded E71x relegated to eBay

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, Symbian, EDGE, HSDPA

Remember that black AT&T branded E71x we saw some time back? Well, it came and went in an eBay auction yesterday — yeah, we’re kinda bummed we missed it, too — with some lucky soul getting the win for a cool 0. The

Nokia admits some N73 batteries have put on a little weight

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia

Nokia’s fessed up to the fact that “a limited number” BP-6M batteries used in the N73 have, over time, swollen up — apparently in some cases to about three-times their original size. The worst of these cases have resulted in handsets with a battery cover that won’t close at the back — rendering the… Continue reading

Nokia 5710 XpressMusic leaked by none other than Nokia itself

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, GSM, EDGE

You might remember (emphasis on “might”) that Nokia was rumored to have a 5700 XpressMusic upgrade in the works a few months back — 3.2 megapixel autofocus cam, larger microSD expansion limit, and that’s about it. Believable if not intensely boring, right? Well, a 5710 just showed up… Continue reading

Nokia’s oldie-but-goodie N95-1 gets another firmware update

Filed under: Software, Nokia, Symbian

If you’ve got a Nokia handset enjoying life in its golden years, it’s comforting to know that the mothership hasn’t forgotten you — at least, not completely. Owners of the original N95 — like seriously original, N95-1 style — are enjoying the spoils of a new firmware update, though “spoils” might… Continue reading

Nokia E63 finally up for grabs in the US, yours for $279

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, GSM

If you’ve been lusting over the E63 since it was announced back in November, you can resume respiration now that Nokia has finally announced availability for the US here at CES. We’ve already got our hands-on with the QWERTY candybar so you know how we feel, but if… Continue reading

Nokia’s 1006 does CDMA on the mega low end

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, CDMA

There’s nothing in the world quite as enthralling as bottom-of-the-barrel CDMA gear, but when Nokia gets involved, well… that really spices things up. The 1006 isn’t going to set any imaging resolution or data speed records, but seeing how it’s specifically identified as a North American device developed in Nokia’s San Diego… Continue reading

Hands-on with T-Mobile’s Nokia 7510

Filed under: Handsets, Features, Nokia, T-Mobile, GSM, EDGE

Color us impressed (literally). If T-Mobile can manage to subsidize the 7510 down to, say, , they’re dealing with a serious winner; it’s attractive, different from your run-of-the-mill midrange Samsung, and offers that all-important UMA for crazy cheap calling. The phone can be… Continue reading

T-Mobile announces Nokia 7510 sans Supernova branding

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, T-Mobile, GSM, EDGE

As expected, the Nokia 7510 has gone official on T-Mobile — albeit with less “Supernova” branding than we would’ve figured on. We’re not sure why T-Mob decided to drop the naming convention, because it sorta relegates an otherwise-interesting phone to anonymous number-dom, but that’s why… Continue reading

Nokia N810 WiMAX reaches ‘end of life’

Filed under: Nokia, WiMAX

Well, that certainly was a quick little experiment, wasn’t it? Just months after quietly becoming available, Nokia has just as quietly slapped an “end of life” label on the N810 WiMAX Edition, officially ending Nokia’s consumer-level support for the wireless standard — for the time being, anyhow. Though we’ve been able to confirm that… Continue reading
