Nokia Fever

Sure seems like it to us. What you’re looking at here is the leaked image of the C7’s front (top) compared to the label diagram of a model code RM-718 that just got FCC approval, featuring quadband EDGE, HSPA 850 / AWS / 1900 / 2100, Bluetooth, and WiFi — and if you ask us, the similarities are a little too plentiful… Continue reading

We don’t typically post FCC filings we can’t identify or link to a product we’re expecting, but this odd Nokia filing caught our eye. It’s got a CDMA radio with EV-DO and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, which means it’s likely headed to Verizon considering how chummy those two have gotten over the past couple years — nothing unusual there. What is odd, though… Continue reading

Now that Nokia’s one-letter, one-number branding realignment is in full swing, we can probably expect a cascade of thusly-named handsets out of Espoo over the course of 2010 — a big part of that strategy will likely be the new Cseries, a line designed to thrust S60 into low-end segments of the market traditionally dominated by feature phones. The C5 kicked off… Continue reading

Say you’re Nokia. Well, you can’t be Nokia since Nokia’s an inanimate concept; say you’re Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. What’d be a good show to use as a backdrop for a new low-end line of smartphones, none of which are likely to generate a ton of buzz? Why, the monstrous fairgrounds of CeBIT, of course! There’s a bit of creative wording in… Continue reading

The 6788 looks just different enough from any other Nokia in the lineup that you might find yourself with an irresistible, inexplicably urge to own one (or destroy one, depending on your disposition), but unless you happen to be within earshot of a China Mobile outlet, you’re probably going to be out of luck. Of course, that leads to the obvious questions… Continue reading

With the N900 getting AWS support, there’s every reason to believe that T-Mobile USA and Nokia want to make beautiful music together — but in order to do that, they’re going to need some quality hardware in… Continue reading

Nokia’s 5230 isn’t apt to blow any minds with the likes of the HD2, Droid and XPERIA X3 on the horizon, but for those perfectly content with a touchscreen-based Symbian S60 5th Edition handset, this one sure looks purty. After dipping its toes in the FCC’s expansive database just last… Continue reading

You’ve seen what the Nokia X6 looks like in glamorous press shots and some impromptu hands-on snaps to boot. Now it’s time for the FCC to have its way with the thing, bringing its special flavor of “celebrity caught at 7:00am… Continue reading

The N97 mini’s back on its whirlwind tour of the FCC approval process, this time coming off confidentiality so we can get a good, hard look at its externals, internals, and user manuals. We’re still not seeing a market… Continue reading | 1 Comment

The Nokia 5230’s as good a reason as any to dip your toe in the S60 5th Edition waters without breaking the bank (and without sacrificing 3G altogether like you’d have to with the 5530), so if you’re… Continue reading
