4 New Phones Coming Soon

This week 4 new phones have been announced by Nokia and Sony Ericsson.  Nokia has announced the Nokia X3, Nokia X6 and the Nokia N97 Mini.  Sony Ericsson on the other hand has announced the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 is going to be released similar to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.  The Xperia X2 is going to come in a X2 and X2a version.  Basically one (X2a) will have 3G for North America and the other (X2) will have European 3G.  The Xperia X2 is going to have Windows Mobile Professional 6.5, Wifi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, and even an 8MP camera built in.  All in all the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 does seem like a nice upgrade from the popular Xperia X1

Nokia’s first phone is a follow up the the Nokia N97.  The new phone is the Nokia N97 Mini.  It is a strange release because the N97 Mini is pretty much the same as the N97.  If you are wondering the difference one website saide the Nokia N97 Mini is the N97 at 90% the size.  Basically it’s not really that mini.  It still has the 8GB of internal memory, the 5MP camera and the FM transmitter.  If you found the N97 to be a little bulky then you should definitely give the Nokia N97 Mini smartphone a look

The second phone is the Nokia X3.  This is rumored to be a lower budget phone.  The rumor is that the Nokia X3 will cost around $150USD, but that has yet to be determined.  The X3 looks to be a really nice phone.  It’s going to be a slider without 3G capabilities.  It will have a 3.2MP camera, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, and will support up to a 16GB MicroSD card.

The last phone that Nokia accounced was the Nokia X6.  This new phone will be a touch screen phone.  It will have 32GB of internal storage, a 5MP camera, European 3G and up to 8h 30mins talk time.  The Nokia X6 looks to be a really nice touch screen phone.

7 Reasons Nokia Gets No Love In The US

Wired.com a few days ago had an article, which we actually would like to post our comments on.

1 – A weak brand – We wouldn’t call them a weak brand but we do agree they need more marketing.  The face time Nokia puts into their US launches is low.  With phones like the E71 and the E72 and N86 getting FCC approval some really good phones are coming to market.  They just need to market them.

2 – Lack of focus on CDMA handsets – This we had a problem with.  Granted we sell GSM phones but overall CDMA is not as widespread as GSM.  If you get a quad-band GSM phone you pretty much can go all over the world and get covereage.  The same doesn’t go for CDMA.  Nokia decided it wasn’t really a good investment since it’s only the US and Canada that really support the network and now it even looks like the two major CDMA providers in Canada are swtiching to GSM.  Why support something that looks to be dying off?

3 – Poor execution – In recent history Nokia has made a few mistakes.  The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic didn’t have the best launch which is a shame since the phone as actually a very good one and their apps store, Ovi, had a rocky start as well.  Again doesnt’ help but anyone can bounce back considering no company has had a perfect launch record

4 – Lack of carrier relationships – This goes back to the CDMA problem.  They have phone with AT&T and T-Mobile which is the major GSM networks and it’s exactly what they want.

5 – Unusual design – They have a lot of straight body phone and a few sliders.  With the amount of people who love the iPhone people are getting away from the flip phone.  Maybe we will start to see more

6 – Symbian – Alright it’s not a perfect O/S but is there really any that is?  Windows Mobile has its problems, Android has its problems, and Apple has their problems as well.   Nothing perfect, but at least like all of them Symbian is being constantly being worked on

7 – An insignificant app store – Wired compared Ovi to the Apple Apps Store.  First things first the Apps store launched over a year ago, but Ovi lunched in May of this year.  They also say compare the 20 000 apps at Ovi to the 55 000+ apps at the Apple store… Again over a year.  Personally we feel to have have the apps in only 3 months that’s pretty good.

So overall alright Nokia gets no love in the US and yes they don’t do as much as they should but overall we think the landscape is changing.  Nokia makes some great phones and people just need to start giving them a chance

New Waterproof and Dustproof Nokia 3720… Leaked

That’s right folks according to IntoMobile.com Nokia is set to release a new cell phone sometime in September.  If the rumors are right this will be the Nokia 3720 and it will be a waterproof phone that is also dustproof.

Being waterproof and dustproof the Nokia 3720 will let you worry less about common problems that plague cell phones.  Many people spill a little water on them.  Another feature is the Nokia 3720 is also shockproof.  This means that it can be dropped and the phone will still work.  Granted we’re not saying take it to the top of a 5 story building but you won’t have to worry anymore if it falls of the table or slips out your pocket

So for now this is simply a rumor and we will have to all wait to an official announcement with specs but at least it looks promising.

This is great news.  This means all the goodies that come wiht the Nokia E75 will be finally fully available.  You get the convenience of Nokia’s first slider phone, Wi-Fi,  MicroSD support with a 4GB card included.

According to a review from Softpedia for the display quality

…As usual, the colors, the contrast, as well as the quality of the image displayed are flawless. Add to that perfect sunlight eligibility and you get an excellent display that can meet any user’s expectations….

And in a review from MobileBurn the have a positive review of the keyboard

The QWERTY keyboard is extremely pleasurable to type on, with large keys and easy-to-read labels. Like the numeric keypad, the QWERTY keyboard’s backlight is bright and even, illuminating even the outer keys. There is also some space between the top keys and the top half of the phone, so you shouldn’t have any trouble hitting these top keys.

From the reviews this seems to be a very good phone and with the Nokia E75 NAM now released everyone can enjoy the phone

The New King Of Phones Has Arrived… Welcome the Nokia N97

So the big news of the week…  the new Nokia N97.  The phone that is set to be the  iPhone killer.  Well this does certainly seem like it has a lot of potential.  It’s being described as a Nokia 5800 on steroids.

The Nokia N97 has already started to create a huge amount of buzz.  Not only does it come with the standard quad band phone with 3G but it adds a whole host of features that make it the iPhone killer.

Now what makes it an iPhone killer?  Is it the Bluetooth with A2DP for stereo music with wireless headphones?  Is it the fact that it supports MMS?  Is it the fact that is has a 5MP camera?  Could it be because it takes video at 30fps?  Maybe it’s the 16GB MicroSD support?  Or the 32GB of internal memory?  Well the short answer is yes.

With all the features mentioned above the Nokia N97 seems to have everything the iPhone has and more.  Currently the iPhone has up to 16GB of internal memory with no memory card support.  The N97 has 32GB internal and that can be expanded up to another 16GB with the microSD slot.

Other features are the 3.5mm headphone jack so if you feel the need to have wired headphones to listen to music you can use any standard ones.  Even the touch screen seems to be well done.

People are starting to get their hands on demo units and puremobile.com will get Nokia N97 in stock as soon as it is available.  We will have a full review as soon as we get our hands one.
