Nokia N97: challenge to the iPhone

We have attended for months. We have hoped ourselves, we are deceived with million fake have waited for, it impaziente. Now, finally, Nokia has decided to transform our dreams in reality, revealing the N97 plan officially, the first one telephones entire of the predisposed Finnish house for an interface touch. Something more than a simple one gioiellino of high range: we are speaking about before, the true and serious challenge to Apple and to its iPhone, than till it has not had many concurrent now with which sharing the monopoly of the device touch. Exactly, till now… The new one been born of the Nokia series introduces with all the papers in rule for sbancare on the markets of every angle of the world. Not to case, escape the news of its putting in production, the Net completely is driven crazy, generating million click and questions through the specialized sites more. We then try to fastly reorder the information in our possession. Nokia N97 is a splendid apparatus of compact dimensions much (117.2×55.3×15,9mm) and weight reduced (150 grams approximately).

Ciononostante, beyond to a generous one display touch in 16/9 from 3,5 ″ with 16 million colors and equal resolution to 360×640 pixel, incorporates also a most practical complete keyboard QWERTY to passing, than it renders a device poured them, apt for personal uses and working scopes (management of pages web and the several ones social network).

It says Jonas Geust, Vice-president of the unit series N di Nokia: “From the desktop, to the portable computer and now in own pocket, Nokia N97 is the mobile existing more powerful multisensory computer. With to the introduced Ovi services today, Nokia N97 adapts the world that it encircles to us, helping us to remain connected with the persons and the things that more us piacciono. Thanks to Nokia N97, the range Nseries is now to the vanguard in the transformation of Internet in a Personal Internet “. Between the many features worthy of famous, they sure detach the module a-GPS integrated and the inner compass electronic, peculiarities that allow to modernize in real time the position of the customer and to transfer these information in the profiles of the social network, guaranteeing an immediate sharing of photographies and video (beyond that naturally of text messages easy inviabili thanks to keyboard QWERTY).

This does not mean however that it has not been lend a great attention in the more traditional technical unit, indeed… Nokia N97 can in fact count on quadribanda a GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA, an internal storage of 32GB expandible through cards microSD (till 48GB), and a camera from 5 megapixel with autofocus, flash LED, optical discs of a valve Carl Zeiss and Camcorder functionality that concurs to record filmed VGA to 30 fps. The interface used customer is the Serie60 5th Edition, the connettività attests on the best standards thanks to the Wi-Fi 802.11b/g with UPnP support and to Bluetooth 2,0 with A2DP and EDR. Between the escapes we signal that TV-out and jack the audio stereo from 3,5mm for the caps. A last note on the battery: Nokia has decided to use a BP-4L from 1500 mAh, able to assure an autonomy in conversation of 400 minuteren and 430 hours in standby.

Insomma, a true little one capolavoro of the technique that, in the intentions of the Finnish house, would have to make one's debut to spring 2009 (more realistic to attend it for the autumn). The price? 550 euros excluded taxes (therefore presume that it can be attested on the 700 euros approximately). Too much or like cost that like wait? It can are given. These longest months could serve to Apple in order to dig a track still deeper between never too much praised iPhone and the competition. But to give for dealt a gioiellino of the technology as Nokia N97 would be a serious error of esteem: this product has sure all the papers in rule in order to say its on the market. She will be true Gloria? To the posteri the arduous sentence. We, while, enjoy to us in five splendid images. Read More..

Nokia announces new the 5730, 5330 and 5030 XpressMusic/Radius

It is not only a war to the iPhone that which the Houses of the telephony are carrying ahead against Apple. Because if on one side the field of the smartphone and the devices touch is sure fascinating and rich of prestige, true it is also that it does not have to more neglect those bands of market consone to common people.


We are speaking about the young people, of the lovers of music, of the teenagers, than often they do not have five hundred and beyond euro to invest in a telephone. Above all to these bands it is therefore intentional to turn Nokia with the three models that this has announced today: objects of certain thickness, but much “human” and more traditional of the wonders that we have seen to the MWC. Insomma, apparatuses dedicated exclusively to music and the telephony (in bottom a mobile phone would have mainly to serve in order to telephone, even if some industry begins to forget it…). We then see in the detail the proposed new of the Finnish colossus.

5730 XXpressMusic is a version modernized and modified of the E75 classic: slider with complete keyboard QWERTY, it has camera from 3.2 megapixel, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, integrated module GPS, multimediali push-buttons and practical features the Say & Play for the vocal commandos and Xpress Homescreen for the direct access. OVI does not lack at last contacts. The price, without Vat and taxes, will be of 280€. More economic the 5330 XpressMusic: always with flowing mechanism, but place on the short side, new Nokia will aim all at a design much cleaned up classic and, the display from 262mila colors, the Bluetooth, the jack audio from 3.5mm, the compatibility with OVI and MySpace and above all the autonomy that is preannounced very interesting. It will arrive in excluded summer to 160€ Vat.



At last ExpressRadio, a candybar is super entrylevel musical the 5030 with functionalities reduced to the bone: telephony, messaggistica and radius. Null'altro. For the less demanding or little rich persons, since it will cost 40€ without Vat. In conclusion we can say that not us dispiace this political line of Nokia that turns the look also to the bands more weak people of the population. Because to speak about gioiellini multitouch ago always it appeal to, above all to we we must try that them and recensire, but an eye to the world-wide crises and those bands of consumers who at the end make the fortune of the houses not out of order never.

News and indiscretions of the week iPhone, Nuvifone, Nokia Ovi, Asus T91, Android HTC, PES the 2010 and killer application definitive: this and other

Starved of technology? The next months will be sure in a position to satisfying your appetite: between videoludica E3 and WWDC Apple we will see some indeed of the beautiful ones. But these little weeks that separate to us from the great events of the year are not sure of transition: indeed, of interesting news of it we have felt indeed several. We reorder them then with, making the point of the technological situation.

We leave quickly from a rumor interesting: the format of the future will be miniums HDMI? Parebbe own of yes. If till some week it makes seemed in fact that for the new standards we would have had to attend much time, lately more and more insistent voices gives for imminent the presentation of miniums HDMI, compact and improved version of the classic Type To (0.6×0.2 cm against the standard of 1.4×0.4). To demand to great voice the new format they would be above all the producers of cellular, than lately they are introducing sfarzosi apparatuses with screen completely HD. The new standard, coded name Type 4 and always to 19pin, could therefore become prestissimo truth.

We cross the fingers and we attend innovation. andnet Other turn, other news: Asus has broken the indugi and has established a date for the most waited for T91, one of the netbook more followed thanks to its incredible peculiarities (touchscreen convertibile with GPS, sintonizzatore TV and inferior weight to the chilo). Next (june 2009) in England to a price of approximately 500 euros will to make one's debut the month. In case it depopulated, as Asus is augured, the T91 will come distributed in the remaining Countries of Europe. We remain in mobile the computer science field/and pass to Android: in recent months it is being speculated on tantissimo on which House it will arrive before in the race of the production of a netbook with the Google platform. Of prototypes, for the time being, we have seen some very many, but nobody has been able of tradursi shortly time in definitive apparatus. To giving accelerating to the contest it would have to be HTC, than after smartphone the Magic and Dream would want to arrive before all also in the field of the miniPC. In order to succeed to us it will have but to strike the competition of the interesting Skytone Alpha 680, also ready he to the debut. On purpose of HTC: the Magic model is finally buyable with the Vodafone brand, to 449 euros (without subscriptions) and will seriously try to give battle to Apple and to its iPhone. Its aces in the sleeve: controls full touch, ergonomic design, arrange operating Android, facility in navigation in Net.


Impossible Mission, that of Google? We will discover in the next few months. Who is ready to put itself in game is also Nokia, than own in these days she is about herself to activate its Nokia Ovi Store, store online that she tries to follow in the footsteps (and the successes) of the very more famous App Stores, and that she will to make one's debut in concomitanza with the escape of the N97 model: since the first day the Finnish House promises 20000 applications available, exceptional promotions for who acquire a N97, a constant modernization and many useful services. To say the true one it is difficult that it can compete with avails again Apple and pure with the store online of Google, but a lot of its future the Ovi Store will have to the happened one or less of the N97 (and all the models to come). Insomma, the vicissitude goes continuation with careful eye and costanza, because null it can be asserted anzitempo.

Nokia introduces the 6216 Classic

Third device with integrated NFC All' opening of III the conference anniversary WIMA of Monaco, Nokia has introduced its third device with integrated technology NFC: we discover it together.

It is not easy for a great House as Nokia to reject the onslaught of the new levers: with the opening of the markets also towards East, the competition is by now serratissima and, pressata from the Apple quality on one side and the Chinese device super economic from the other, for the Finnish company it is more and more difficult to conserve own slice of market and to remain leader in the field of the telephony. If to this we add to a Samsung more and more dangerous and repentini the changes in the field provoked from the fashion of the MID and the smartphone (that they end in order to steal precious percentages in those fields that a time were to exclusive advantage of the cellular classics), appear clearly that he is not at all simple to succeed to ride the wave, to propose a variegata and satisfactory offer and at the same time to make the accounts with the international crisis.

Ciononostante Nokia remains the number and it does not have no intention to come down from the throne. Here therefore the studied marketing plan in order to conserve the leadership, in four simple movements: development of dared plans and high level which the N98; breaking in on the market of able models casual to please the consumers with low budget; wide spread of intermediate products in order to magnetize a wide river basin of competition; stimulation and putting in production of innovative device, that it could open new ways for the world of the telephony.


Under this last voice Nokia 6216 Classic is placed sure new, a candybar from the classic lines that a technological heart hides but potentially revolutionary. In effects, to a first external look, the new one been born of Nokia does not seem big thing: designs typically share (to Nokia), with color the Coco little attractive Pearl, large keys that carry to the mind old 3210 and 3310, display minimal (are 2 inches QVGA with 16.7 million colors and 320×240 pixel resolution), enough important dimensions (114.7×47.1×14.5mm for 88 grams of weight). Also the technical card does not certainly make to scream to the wonder. Honest, yes, but nothing absolutely important: posterior camera from 2 Megapixel with LED flash, connettività quadribanda GSM and WCDMA, Bluetooth, radius FM integrated and 22MB of expandible internal storage with microSD. Battery, a BL-4U from 1000mAh, guarantees 200 minuteren of conversation and 300 hours of stand by. Insomma, nothing of that, it was not for the detail technology NFC (Near Field Communication) completely integrated.

Nokia 6216 Classic is in fact the first device that inside implements this innovation of the brokerage house, so that the operating ones can directly insert in the same card services NFC. A small revolution that transforms a single apparatus in banal appearance in a model to follow with great attention. But to what it serves technology NFC? To share between various contained customers of various type (images, link, rows audio and lists of contacts) with an only touch on the cellular one, in a way still simpler and fast of the usual. Not only, thanks to the NFC ticket office and payment operations contactless could be carried out in the maximum emergency.

It explains Alex Sinclair, CTO of the GSM Association well: ” The launch of Nokia 6216 endowed Classic of technology NFC integrated on card brokerage house represents an enormous progress for the ticket office and payment services. We are convinced that such innovations will carry to a more and more fast spread of the technology and that they will open the road to the launch of services NFC from the operating ones.”. Ago the echo Jeremy Belostock, responsible NFC Nokia: “Nokia 6216 Classic will be between the first devices trades them available on the market to satisfy the requirements of the operating ones uses through it arranged of card brokerage house and sure transactions thanks to the technology Near Field Communication. Holding Nokia 6216 Classic in pocket and for means of the applications of ticketing of which own brokerage house is equipped, goodbye to all can finally be said the papers that fill up the pocketbooks. The fact to have sure applications installed directly on the brokerage house, will concur with the customers successively to transport them on their next cellular qualified one to technology NFC.”. Nokia 6216 Classic will to make one's debut on the market in the course of the third trimester of the year to an advised price of approximately 180 euros. She will be true Gloria? To we consumers the arduous sentence. Read More..
