With a sleek stainless steel design, the Nokia 6301 phone launched today is not only stylish, but offers consumers seamless voice and data mobility across GSM cellular and WLAN networks via Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology. The Nokia 6301 phone uses UMA technology to integrate the benefits of landline and a mobile phone, including seamless indoor coverage, sound quality and affordability.
"Featuring a CarlZeiss lens, the Nokia N73 is one of the latest batch of premium Nokia Nseries camera smartphones, or as Nokia marketing people like to say, 'multimedia computers', originally launched last year. Back then they all featured G3/UMTS wireless broadband capability and a two megapixel camera, with video calling, plus various model-specific targeted enhancements, like motion video recording, iPod-like digital music player features, etc....

"The Nokia 6233 is certainly a worthy successor to the 6230i. However, with the Eseries and Nseries keeping Nokia occupied these days, I feel that the S40 series of phones is dying a slow death. Although the 6233 has a lot going for it, I am baffled by the fact that it has less on-board memory than the Nokia 6131. Granted, it does come with a 64MB microSD card, but the tiny amount of on-board memory is still unacceptable by today's standards. Users are most likely to get a higher capacity card anyway, and in the end, business users who prefer bar phones might feel short changed.
In conclusion, I give the 6233 a Recommended rating, as it just does not pack enough punch to stand out amongst the rest of the S40 phones, unlike the 6230i or 6230 before it. If you need to make 3G video calls and prefer slimmer phones, the Sony Ericsson K610i....

"...the E62 is ahead of the pack for its price point. I was impressed to find the Symbian 9.1 OS was fully-equipped with applications designed to view, create and edit documents in Microsoft Office (including Powerpoint presentations), a feature not available on the much-hyped Motorola Q. The PDF reader was also a help, but let’s talk about the number one reason to buy an E62- complete mobile email support. Setup is a breeze, an email hot key provides one touch access, and a light at the top right corner of the E62 notifies of incoming emails. Though still not the ultimate combo of media, internet and productivity support, the E62 is a powerful contender even up against Blackberrys at double the price"

"Nokia's new E62 smart phone may be tough for tech-savvy tightwads to ignore. Bargain-priced at $149 (plus a service contract via Cingular), the device offers a slew of useful smart-phone features, supports most popular e-mail platforms and provides handy applications for road warriors.
It's not a device for folks who need speed or for power users who love lots of bells, whistles and buttons to push. And if you want a touch screen, a camera or zippy 3G cellular data access such as that provided by EV-DO, you'll have to look elsewhere.....

"...The E60 is essentially an E61 or E70 without the QWERTY keyboard. Although there are some differences in terms of bundled applications and the use of RS-MMC instead of miniSD, the E60 is definitely the phone for business users who don't fancy using QWERTY equipped mobile phones. I have no hesitance in awarding the E60 with a Highly Recommended rating."

"...The Nokia 6708 is a dated machine. It is similar to the Sony Ericsson P900 in many ways, and if it were released three years ago, it might have been a real hit. I cannot recommend this phone, even if it is a slight improvement over the P900. There is still the fantastic P910i to recommend over this. Moreover, the terrible handwriting recognition software is a huge hurdle for anyone who wants to use this phone. Therefore, if you're looking for a touch screen phone running on the UIQ platform, go for the Sony Ericsson P910i or the new P990i. The Nokia 6708 is better off in the days of yesteryear."

Trustedreviews.com has put up a new review on Nokia N73. The review is not comprehensive and concludes the N73 is nothing special except for it's camera.

"...The Nokia E70 is fully loaded and it's a fantastic handset. The Nokia E70 can do everything that the recently reviewed E61 can, and better yet, is can also snap pictures and record videos. Couple this with the high resolution display, and the E70 is clearly a winner. Although I do not really like the design or the time it takes for it to change from portrait to landscape and back, the E70 still has a lot going for it.
If Blackberry styled devices are not your thing, the E70 is the way to go. I give it a "Highly Recommended" rating, as there is no other phone as well equipped out there now as the E70. This rating comes with one caveat though: check the handset before purchase to see if the keyboard is labeled properly..."

"...This is an expensive phone ($799) but shows it, It has a style, Chic and solidity not found in many handsets, The camera is fantastic and the phone sports many features. The screen alone is worth half the price as it's a gem to view, You will see any detail in a taken photo or recieved MMS message.
It's simple to personalize and has a slot for a miniSD allowing plenty of storage.
It's just does pretty well everything you would ever realistically use in a handset.
As a bnus they appear to be pretty tough too even though they look fragile, the internals are set in die-cast.
Highly recommended, if you have the dosh ;-P, You might like to try and get the silver casing for it too (good luck and please post here!) it looks HOT in brushed silver. ...

"Nokia's N91 isn't exactly a new product - after all, it was launched back in April 2005 - but it's new to us, having just recently been released to the US market. Most of Nokia's Nseries entertainment-centric smartphones are focused on photography and video, but the N91 is targeted instead at the music lover.
The $599.99 N91's main claim to fame is its extra-large storage capacity, which is made possible by an internal 4 GB hard drive. (Nokia says this is enough to store as many as 3,000 songs, but if you typically encoded your music at a 128 kbps rate, that capacity is closer to about 1,000 songs....

"Flip phones and Nokia are not things that normally go together however that hasn't stopped Nokia trying to emulate the success of Motorola with hinged mobiles phones. Their latest entry is the Nokia 6131 flip phone and it's the subject of this weeks mobile review. The most striking thing about the Nokia 6131 happens before you even power it up, the sheer feel of this flip phone in your hand is something quite special.
It's lightweight at 112 grams and yet manages to feel substantial, the rear covering is not cheapo plastic but a textured warm rubber covering that oozes quality and gives you a good purchase at the same time. Measuring 92 x 48 x 20 mm we have to say that this is the perfect dimension for a flip phone and it is easy to open and close the flip especially with Nokias quick open button, it's been a while since a phone had a snazzy opening, in fact it was the Nokia Matrix phone that last had stockbrokers showing off their mobiles in the office.

"....I love the Nokia N91. Although its ease of use and the need to convert files into WMA before synchronization might still be lacking behind the iPod in terms of user friendliness, it has everything that a phone should have. With a 4GB hard drive and a well implemented music player, the N91 becomes a very powerful music jukebox. With all that said, the Nokia N91 earns a highly recommended rating from me, and I dare say it's worth leaving my iPod at home for..

"...I like this phone, but there are still a few bugs that need to be worked out. The biggest of which is that it doesn't seem to be compatible with the Bluetooth kit in my car, which is a problem for hands-free use. Another is the messaging application, which seems to hang and misbehave when there is no network coverage available. Speaking of network access, it won't connect properly to encrypted WiFi networks, so for now I just hop on to the open ones. Smaller, but still frustrating is that the address book will only show entries with last name first—there's a setting to change this but it doesn't work..."

"The 9300's physical dimensions may be a bit discouraging to some, as it's not too pocket friendly. At 2" x 5 1/8" x 3/4" with a weight of 5.9 ounces, the 9300 is has a nice heft to it and a size that makes the candy bar design hard to miss. On the downside, it might not be able to fit easily into pockets, as its stature limits the 9300 from becoming one of those slim handsets that can blend into the smallest of places. If you're looking for a phone that you won't notice while it's in your pocket, this may not be the best choice. It is, however, a solid device that never gives you the impression that it might break if mistreated. After an accidental drop or two, the phone didn't have a scratch on it and didn't suffer from any performance degradation. Ameliorating the size issue further, the 9300's diverse functionality makes it worth carrying around, and the demographic that the 9300 is aimed at will probably have a case or bag to throw the phone into. Functionality comes at a cost, however, and the phone comes with a hefty $499.99 price tag, making it one of the higher priced cell phones on the market. Savvy consumers can keep an eye out for various manufacturer and service provider rebates, however, and can find the phone for as little as $99.99....

"The admirably solid Nokia 6305i ($279.99 list), the first fruit of Nokia's relationship with the Korean phone giant Pantech, makes good voice calls. But since it lacks multimedia features such as removable memory and an MP3 player, it will have a hard time competing with the top rank of Verizon handsets, especially the much-beloved Motorola E815.
At 3.9 by 1.9 by 1 inches and 4.7 ounces, the 6305i is a big, heavy slider with a bright, attractive 176-by-220 color screen. It has an extendable antenna and somewhat confusing control keys arranged in three concentric circles below the screen. Sliding the screen up reveals an illuminated keypad of tightly spaced but decent-size keys. On the sides you'll find a speakerphone button, a camera button, and volume buttons. The good side of the 6305i's design is that it's quite solid; the bad side is that it's quite bulky....

"Nokia is not known for its clamshell handsets, but the company does occasionally make a foray into that world, and has done so with the N71.
In fact, despite Nokia’s reluctance to flip, there is already a clamshell handset in the N range – the N91. Where that is a very chunky beast, with a camera in its own clamshell independent swivelling section, the N71 has a rather more traditional clamshell design, being made in just two pieces, and hinged at its top edge....

"...USER-UNFRIENDLY. Some features just seem badly engineered. Removing the back casing to install the phone subscription (sim) card was a headache. There are two tiny panels to squeeze on the sides. The experience was akin to opening a super-duper child-proofed bottle of aspirin. Also, two tiny but crucial navigation keys are camouflaged under the screen. I often miss them and hit the hang-up key instead.
And then there's the click. It should be firm and authoritative, like the shutting of a Mercedes door. But Nokia has gone a bit too far. Slide the phone shut and the click is more like a twack, loud and jolting. When I slide shut the phone, I find myself fretting that the impact will damage the machinery inside. This is silly, because everything about this phone signals strength. But still, I often brace it with my thumb. I think the Nokia engineers should loosen those springs a bit...

"The good: The Nokia N80 is a multimedia-rich phone with a 3-megapixel camera, a second VGA camera, and an integrated music player. It also has a sharp screen, PIM functionality, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
The bad: With no carrier backing, the Nokia N80 is expensive. Performance is also a bit sluggish when switching between apps.
The bottom line: If you can afford it, the Nokia N80 delivers a powerful multimedia phone packed with advanced imaging features, PIM functionality, and good call quality.

"It’s a huge relief to find that Nokia has finally discovered thin. Waifishness is, after all, the characteristic that has won Motorola a huge chunk of the mobile market, despite Moto’s notoriously unintuitive software. No such usability problems afflict the E61, which runs the same Symbian 9.1 operating system and Series 60 v3 front-end as the brilliant N80, winner of Stuff’s smartphone Supertest (July 2006).
Unlike the N80, the E61 has a hardy battery life – with all flavours of wireless enabled, it’ll still manage over a week on standby and a good couple of days of heavy usage. And how you’ll use it! With a fantastic thumb-operated QWERTY keyboard and bright QVGA screen (with an incredible 16million colours), the E61 is an uabashed joy to play with – not least because it features Nokia’s stunning new mobile browser.

"Quick Take: The Nokia 6680 promises a powerful set of features in a somewhat mundane design vaguely reminiscent of the Nokia 6682. Most notably, the Symbian smart phone offers two digital cameras, which, along with the 3G UMTS support, can be used for videoconferencing. You'll also find Bluetooth, a document reader, an MMC slot, and a digital music player. The triband (GSM 900/1800/1900) phone is not offered by a U.S. carrier, but an unlocked model will work stateside.

"At 113 mm tall, 55 mm wide and 22mm deep the N91 is a lot bigger than many phones, and actually rivals Orange’s SPV M600 for overall size. The bottom third of the casing is taken up with a series of controllers for music playback, and you need to slide this down to get to the number pad. When you do this, the handset grows to a huge 140mm tall.
The good news is that you can do most things without needing to use the slider, and when you do need the number pad its small wide keys are nicely raised from their surround, responsive, and very easy to hit.
That front fascia is one of several aspects of both software and hardware designed to emphasise the musicality of this handset: Nokia certainly does seem to have covered the bases and thought user needs through well....

The Nokia 5500 is an active/sports lifestyle-focused tri band EGSM (900) / GSM (1800/1900) phone which can be seen as a replacement for the popular Nokia 5140. Headlines features of the 5500 include an instant swap key for switching the phone into different modes (phone, music and sport), a 3D sensor (accelerometer) which enables pedometer functionality for sports tracking and an alternative interaction method, text to speech capabilities for various functions, and an active (stainless steel and rubberised casing) orientated design....

"Phones have become as much fashion statements as communication tools, so it’s no surprise to see Nokia tapping into this with its new L’Amour collection. Designed for the terminally fashionable, this is the most innovative of the bunch. There’s no keypad; instead you use an iPod-like clickwheel and selection button to control everything.
It’s laudable that this device wants to redefine the way people use phones. Unfortunately, it fails on just about every level. For a start, entering a number is incredibly difficult. You need to select each digit from a list on the screen by rotating and clicking the wheel. Selecting a contact is more straightforward, so if you have all your contacts stored on your computer, you should Bluetooth them over – the alternative is frustration, madness and quite possibly, RSI.

"When it comes to features, the 7370 tops the trio of L'Amour phones, with the most well-rounded feature set. It may not have the 2-megapixel camera that the stickish 7380 can claim, but I've found the 1mp number on board the 7370 does the job very nicely - and quickly too. Not having to wait around for the shutter to release, or for the software to wake up makes this a very nice, easy camera to use.
Every time I get the 7370 out to waft under the noses of my friends, they all respond with equal delight - be they girly girls or normal humans. I don't think it looks so appealing in photos, but get it in your hand and you discover that it's not only really compact....

But although the lack of compatibility is a pain, it's important to understand the reasons why and to note that S60 v3 versions of existing applications should be along very soon, so software will only be a problem for the very earliest adopters.....

"The Nokia 3650 is more than just a phone. But let's talk about its phone capabilities first.
The 3650 is a tri-band GSM phone. This means that it can be used anywhere in the world where GSM service is available, not just in the United States. Most cell phones in the US use a type of cellphone service that is uncommon outside the US, but T-Mobile (and AT&T Wireless and Cingular) use the international standard GSM type service, with a twist : US GSM uses a different frequency to the rest of the world, so you need to get a phone that will work on the US frequency (1900 MHz) as well as on the two international frequencies (900 MHz and 1800 MHz).
Review courtesy of The Travel Insider (click for full review)
The Nokia Communicator range has always been evolutionary rather than revolutionary, and there has been very little practical change between models. And let’s not kid ourselves here, Nokia may label the 9300 (and 9300i) a smartphone and not a communicator, but it’s squarely in the clamshell European PDA design, and has been since it launched in the mid nineties. Each model has improved what needed to be improved, but the device has never been about pushing the boundaries of the technology. If there’s a cutting edge to technology then the Communicators have always been a step behind the sharp bit – doing a perfectly good job without risking anything.
This is a phone you will come to rely on. It’s not flashy out the box, it’s not hugely attractive to the shiny first adopters. If you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule in product design, then the 9300i follows that perfectly. 80% of users are going to use only 20% of the features. It can be applied in many ways. In other words, this is a mass-market phone, for regular users.

It's easy to mistake the N90 as an upgrade to the now value Nokia 6260 Smartphone - its clamshell, twist and flip design is completely inspired by the 6260. A lot of people liked that design and the rest of them (including me) hated it. The N90 adds a few things and takes away a few as well. First of all, the camera has been moved to a separate rotating unit which also forms the hinge for the two parts of the phone. The camera bit rotates 270 degrees, so you can take pictures in almost any direction without having to rotate the phone. Personally, other than for clicking self portraits, I see absolutely no inconvenience in having to move the whole phone around a little bit, unless you're taking some voyeur shots which you probably shouldn't be doing in the first place. The display also rotates by itself like the 6260, however, it doesn't flip more than 90 or, say, 110 degrees. This means you can't flip the display completely and use the phone in a closed state like a PDA of sorts, if you liked that about the 6260.

IF YOU want a clear idea of the direction Nokia is heading with its business orientated smartphones, then take a look at the N70. It's probably the best Nokia you can currently get for 3's 3G network as well.
In a nutshell, it's a Symbian based Series 60 handset which combines PDA functionality with an MP3 player and FM radio capability. It's the right form factor to fit into your pocket and, for once, doesn't boast a strangely styled keyboard either. In terms of cameraphones, the N70 is pretty slick since it boasts a sliding cover to keep the rear 2 megapixel camera and flash clean. Nokia claims that it offers up to 20 x digital zoom too. There's a dedicated camera button on the casing's side to fire the camera up. The second, front camera is a boring VGA job which is really just intended for video calls....
Annalyn S. Jusay of The Manilla Bulletin suer seemed to like her eval 6111:
Because it’s almost Christmas, the Finnish mobile giant Nokia is pulling a few surprises up its sleeve and this includes coming up with a series of slider phones to add to its arsenal of clamshells and monoblocs. The first to emerge out of this line-up is the Nokia 6111, a daintily-designed handset that possesses both the form to show off to your friends and all the features you’d want in a mid-level phone these days, like a camera that is not just V-G-A.
I have to admit I was excited when my editor told me I would be reviewing a sliding handset from Nokia. After all, this brand is not known for rolling out “sliders,” its close competitor from the kimchi peninsula is. Having said so, I was not disappointed. This model boasts of the flawless ergonomics that Nokia is known for, with smooth rounded edges and ultra-light at just 92 grams.
Having fallen in love with my pink-over-white Nokia 6111 at first sight, it was then time to put it to the test. What I did was to tinker with the menu and go through its list of features. Camera with flash? Check! The Nokia 6111 has a 1 megapixel cam which is commendable for a handset of its size. FM radio? Check! It also has a separate music player, media player, voice recorder and equalizer which you can set to your favorite musical genres. Connectivity? Double check! It is rare for a mini-phone to possess both Bluetooth, infrared and USB sync capability but this pretty babe has it. My initial verdict is that if you are like me who doesn’t want a “power phone” at this point in time because you have other gadgets like an iPod and a digicam, then the Nokia 6111 is desirable enough to fit your needs....

The 6682 is Nokia's latest Series 60, now called simply, S60, Smartphone in the US. It's offered here by Cingular (though it's on a few months hiatus while Cingular and Nokia work on compatability with Cingular's 3G SIMs), and carries on the tradition started by the Nokia 3650, 6620, the N-Gage QD and most recently the stylish Nokia 7610. The 6682 is a phone first in terms of ergonomics and features, and second a basic PDA second with organizer functions, Outlook syncing and support for a strong selection of 3rd party software.
The Nokia is a triband GSM phone supporting both US bands (850 and 1900 MHz) as well as the 1800 Mhz band commonly used in Asia and somewhat in Europe. If you're a world traveler frequenting Europe, the lack of 900 MHz won't appeal to you, but for the rest of us, the triband radio will offer optimal coverage. The unit supports GPRS and the much faster EDGE standard for data, offers a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a dual voltage RS-MMC slot for memory expansion. Standard high end stuff. . . throw in a web browser that supports HTML as well as WAP sites, speakerphone, voice dialing and a set of multimedia applications that include LifeBlog, Nokia's answer to cell phone photo and video blogging, and you've got the 6682.
First Impressions
After a 45 second bootup sequence, the Nokia 770's main screen appears, showing the RSS news reader, web shortcut time and some other basic functions. There's a degree of personalisation here, but strangely you can't boot straight into the Nokia 770's email client.
The on-screen controls are fairly simple - down the left hand site are three large icons allowing access to the web browser, email client and a third icon for all the other applications. Underneath that a set of smaller icons act as a task bar. On the top right are controls for connected to a wireless LAN, mobile phone, plus a control for screen brightness, speaker volume and a battery indication. On the very top, the main screen title (here it's "Home") is also a drop-down context-sensitive menu....
