Nokia E71x Review Specs Price Apps Manual

Nokia E71x, the slimmest smartphone on the market, will be available in AT&T retail stores and online. Priced at just USD 99.99*, this much-anticipated full QWERTY smartphone arrives at a time when one in two people surveyed** say they would prefer to communicate via text message or email over phone calls.

“The trend for messaging, whether email, IM, texting or social networking, is stronger than ever – we are seeing a real shift in the way people prefer to communicate,” says David Petts, Vice President and General Manager, AT&T Account, Nokia. “The E71x is one of the most stylish and sophisticated QWERTY smartphones on the market, and it’s the ideal companion for people who enjoy easy messaging and connecting with their friends. We are thrilled to now bring this sleek smartphone to people across the United States with AT&T.”

In a recent survey conducted with 500 American adults aged 18 and above, 52 percent said they would prefer to use texting or emailing if they had to use only one communication method for two weeks. The option of only making voice calls for two weeks trailed behind at 40 percent, according to the people surveyed. The survey, commissioned by Nokia, looked at the way people use messaging and social networking on their mobile devices.

The results revealed that both texting and social networking from the mobile device are playing a part in the romantic side of life. More than one in four, or 26 percent, have made plans for seeing a special someone via social networking on their mobile, and 64 percent have made plans for a date via text messaging. Additionally, 32 percent of those surveyed have responded to a text message during a romantic dinner, and more than one in ten, or 11 percent, have actually interrupted a romantic engagement or dinner to respond to a social networking message. The same percentage of people say they have ended a romantic relationship via text, and seven percent have ended a relationship via social networking from their mobile.

Nearly three in four people, or 69 percent, said they send text messages at least once a day. What they use it for is revealing – nearly one in three, or 29 percent, say it is acceptable to tell friends/family they just got laid off via text message and one in ten would “call” in sick to work via text messaging.

In fact, actual behavior trumps intended behavior – 13 percent have called in sick to work via text. An additional 12 percent of respondents say they actually have spread news of their lay off to friends/family via texting. According to the survey, people are also using messaging and social networking to stay ahead in a tough economy. Eleven percent said they have secured a business deal via text and 6 percent have successfully used social networking to nab new business.

“Cutting-edge smartphones like the E71x are a huge hit with our customers who see their mobile phone as a hub for their digital lives,” said Michael Woodward, vice president, Mobile Phone Portfolio, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “Our customers rely on smartphones to stay connected using e-mail, text messaging, and social networks. The E71x is ideal for that.”

The thinnest QWERTY smartphone on the market, the Nokia E71x, has high-speed 3G connectivity, WiFi, and features a built-in music player and a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera to connect people to their passions -be it messaging, social networking, listening to music, taking and sharing images or even navigating to a date or job interview with AT&T Navigator.

Nokia E72 Review Specs Price Apps Manual

Nokia E72 is swift, slim and resourceful. Nokia’s latest full QWERTY smartphone brings a rich mobile email and instant messaging experience right out of the box, making it the ideal device for people that want to be productive in both their personal and professional lives.

Building on the formula from the hugely successful Nokia E71, Nokia’s best selling QWERTY device to date, this latest arrival in Nokia’s Eseries family maintains essential elements of its predecessor, whilst still improving its capabilities in a number of areas. “Despite the outstanding market performance of the Nokia E71, we still continually look for ways to enhance the device,” said Ilari Nurmi, Vice President at Nokia. “So we included the desktop like email experience from the Nokia E75 and gave it a new optical navigation key for more intuitive scrolling through menus, emails and fast panning of images. We also upgraded the camera to 5 megapixels and added a standard 3.5 mm audio jack.”

On top of these developments, for the first time, owners will be able to set up instant messaging (IM) accounts provided by Nokia Messaging direct from the homescreen. In just a few steps, device owners will be able to connect to their favorite IM accounts such as Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi, amongst many others.

These new IM features are complimented by Nokia’s range of email solutions with a lifetime license for Nokia’s mobile email and IM service, Nokia Messaging, as well as onboard clients for Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. Accessing popular accounts such as Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail, Ovi Mail and thousands of other email service providers is simple through improved on-device email setup, with the same easy to use UI integrating all of the owner’s corporate email accounts as well.

Performance improvements are evident throughout the user experience including faster Internet up- and downlink speeds. Other notable features which should make the Nokia E72 as popular as recent Nokia Eseries introductions include A-GPS and compass with integrated Maps, including lifetime walk and 10 days of turn-by-turn navigation if activated within the first three months. Conversations are also clearer with active noise cancellation, and a torch can be activated with a single press of the spacebar key. The office capabilities have been updated with a new version of Quickoffice, which delivers Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility as well as free version upgrades when new features become available.

The Nokia E72 is expected to begin shipping late in the third quarter of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies.

Running on the new Maemo 5 software, the Nokia N900 empowers users to have dozens of application windows open and running simultaneously while taking full advantage of the cellular features, touch screen and QWERTY keyboard.

“With Linux software, Mozilla-based browser technology and now also with cellular connectivity, the Nokia N900 delivers a powerful mobile experience,” says Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Markets, Nokia. “The Nokia N900 shows where we are going with Maemo and we’ll continue to work with the community to push the software forward. What we have with Maemo is something that is fusing the power of the computer, the internet and the mobile phone, and it is great to see that it is evolving in exciting ways.”

Designed for computer-grade performance in a compact size, Maemo complements Nokia’s other software platforms, such as Symbian, which powers Nokia’s smartphones.

“Just as Nokia continues to expand and diversify its device portfolio, so it is deploying multiple platforms to allow it to serve different purposes and address different markets. While we have seen continued growth in Symbian as a smartphone platform, Maemo enables Nokia to deliver new mobile computing experiences based on open-source technology that has strong ties with desktop platforms,” says Jonathan Arber, Senior Research Analyst in Consumer Mobile at IDC.
More multitasking with Maemo

The Nokia N900 packs a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 processor, up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. The result is PC-like multitasking, allowing many applications to run simultaneously. Switching between applications is simple, as all running content is constantly available through the dashboard. The panoramic homescreen can be fully personalized with favorite shortcuts, widgets and applications.

To make web browsing more enjoyable, the Nokia N900 features a high-resolution WVGA touch screen and fast internet connectivity with 10/2 HSPA and WLAN. Thanks to the browser powered by Mozilla technology, websites look the way they would on any computer. Online videos and interactive applications are vivid with full Adobe Flash™ 9.4 support. Maemo software updates happen automatically over the internet.

Messaging on the N900 is easy and convenient thanks to the full physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Setting up email happens with only a few touches and the Nokia Messaging service mobilizes up to 10 personal email accounts. Text message or IM exchanges with friends are shown in one view and all conversations are organized as separate windows.

The Nokia N900 has 32GB of storage, which is expandable up to 48GB via a microSD card. For photography, the Maemo software and the N900 come with a new tag cloud user interface that will help users get the most out of the 5MP camera and Carl Zeiss optics.

Nokia 5340 Nuron Review Specs Price Apps Manual

Nokia 5340 Nuron candy-bar-style, touchscreen phone has enough features to make it a reasonable concierge and a first-rate navigator. The Nuron is the first U.S. handset from Nokia to feature the company’s free turn-by-turn navigation with Ovi Maps, and it also offers access to Nokia’s version of an app market, the Ovi Store.

The phone isn’t going to win any design awards, but it’s relatively compact, measuring 4.4 by 2.0 by 0.6 inches, and relatively light at about 4 ounces. It offers memory expansion via a microSD slot on the side (a 4GB card is included), has a standard 3.5-mm headphone jack, and includes features that are requisite today: a camera, GPS, and an accelerometer.

Unlike more-sensitive capacitive touchscreens, the Nuron’s balky resistive screen can try one’s patience. Even with the benefit of vibrating haptic feedback, you’ll find yourself repeatedly tapping icons. (The inconsistent interface of the Symbian OS doesn’t help: Some functions require one tap; others, two taps.) The on-screen keyboard is similarly hampered, but the print recognition software is less error-prone and works well with one’s fingernail or the included guitar-pick stylus.

Despite the imperfect touchscreen, you’ll still find plenty to like on the Nuron. Its built-in video and music player handles all the major formats, such as MP3, MP4, AAC, eAAC+, MPEG4-AVC, and WMV9. It also has a built-in FM radio, although it works only when headphones are plugged in.

The Nuron has apps for YouTube and Facebook, too. And the WebKit-based browser does a good job of handling standard HTML pages. You can sync the phone to Outlook addresses and calendar entries.

Though Nokia clearly wants to bring the app store concept to all of its phones, the Ovi Store, unfortunately, is still very much a work in progress. It was down several times during my days of testing, and software updates for it were strewn with inscrutable file names as well as repeated, annoying confirmation requests. More important, the store’s offerings, paid or free, are still scant. There’s no dedicated New York Times app, for example, or Pandora, Slacker, or iHeartRadio app. Presumably, such programs will make their way to the Symbian OS store eventually.

In the meantime, one can while away the time taking pictures with the phone’s camera. It lacks a flash, but its shutter speed can handle most indoor shots. The camera also has a zoom function and adjustable white balance, a nice touch. Video recording is straightforward, though the clips I took looked slightly jumpy no matter how steady I thought my hand was (nothing I shot would make it as an iReport).

The best extra feature, however, is the phone’s free Ovi Maps. Tap on the compass icon, and you can pinpoint your location or get walking or spoken turn-by-turn driving directions (plus traffic updates!). Nokia owns Navteq, one of the leading map makers, so it’s not surprising the company has done a solid job in this area. For one thing, navigation works even if you go offline because the maps are downloaded to the handset. This also makes zooming in and out of maps much snappier. And you have the option of using 2D, 3D, or satellite views. International travelers will also appreciate the fact that the program covers 74 countries in 46 languages.

Oddly, the TeleNav GPS Navigator also comes preloaded on the Nuron, but it costs $3 for a day pass. I did find the TeleNav software very good at understanding addresses entered by voice–a nice feature for distracted drivers.

To make a data connection, the Nuron has quad-band EDGE and dual-band HSDPA support. Sadly, no Wi-Fi is built in, which can be a distinct drawback if you’re trying to connect in an area lacking 3G support.

That’s just one more trade-off you’ll have to make for the bargain-priced Nuron. But given how well its free navigation works and the promise of many other features, many will find such trade-offs worthwhile.

The Nuron’s resistive, 3.2-inch touchscreen is a bit cramped, so exterior buttons have to play more than just a supporting role. On the right side is a volume rocker, a screen-unlock button, and a camera button. Beneath the screen are talk, end, and menu buttons. Plus, a touch-sensitive media button is above the screen. Unfortunately, when you begin working with the screen you’ll realize why all this support is necessary.

Nokia C1 Dual Sim Phone Review Specs Price Apps Manual

Nokia C1 (C1-00) is priced at EUR 30 before taxes and subsidies and is the first Nokia mobile phone to feature a 2-in-1 double SIM solution. “By simply holding down a key, people are able to switch between SIM cards. This enables them to take advantage of reduced call rates, flexibility when traveling from one country to another, or helps with sharing a phone within a family and still use their own SIM,” said Alex Lambeek, Vice President at Nokia. “This is a great added convenience feature considering the low price of the phone.”

Nokia C1 owners will also benefit from a standby battery time of up to six weeks, the longest ever for a Nokia mobile phone, especially useful in those parts of the world where access to electricity is sometimes limited. The standard flashlight – often someone’s only means of bright light – is paired with a vivid color screen and FM radio with standard headphone jack, meaning the Nokia C1 is as much about entertainment as it is about convenience.

With the target firmly set in the developing world, the Nokia C2 offers the possibility of having one handset running two SIM cards simultaneously. Over the past two years, we think it’s safe to say, here on Conversations you guys have been calling for this as a functionality you’d love to see from Nokia. It’s listened and has delivered the Nokia C2. Read on after the jump to find out more, and check out the pictures of this latest handset to join the Cseries line-up.

The main draw to the Nokia C2 is obviously the dual-SIM functionality. The Nokia C2 can keep both SIM cards active; meaning calls and text messages can come to either number while the phone is on. The first SIM card on the Nokia C2 sits underneath the battery. The second SIM card is ‘hot-swappable’, a feature unique to Nokia, meaning it can be removed and inserted when the phone is on. As we mentioned previously, dual-SIM has been a hot topic here on Conversations and the fact that the Nokia C2 will allow you to answer one call and keep the other on hold is great news. Potentially, you could have a work and home account on the same mobile or share the phone with another person. What do you guys think?

It’s hardly a one trick pony. At launch the Nokia C2 also offers a wide range of information covering healthcare, agriculture, education and entertainment via Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools, as well as the email account for the developing world, Ovi Mail. In addition to Ovi Mail, people’s favorite consumer email and chat accounts can be pushed direct to the phone via Nokia Messaging. Listening to music is simple with the FM radio and music player, with a massive amount of music storage with the phone supporting micro-SD cards of up to 32GB.

There’s also enough room for up to 1,000 entries in the phone book, and a standby time of up to 16.5 days. A VGA camera, Bluetooth and GPRS also make the Nokia C2 a very attractive offering.
