One of the more puzzling aspects of Nokia’s portfolio that has been bothering us of late is their higher-end megapixel range, or more appropriately the lack thereof.
With the likes of Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson all having an 8 megapixel offering in the normal and touch screen varieties, we’re wondering when the Finnish phone makers [...]

Continue ReadingNokia’s new QWERTY keyboard based mobile was announced today, completing their arsenal of N series handsets. This could easily be compared to other manufactures mobile keyboard arms, with the likes of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and HTC’s Touch Pro first popping into mind.
The N97 now fits nicely into the latest series line-up with a [...]
Here’s just an image of the customisable home screen on the N97, just showing off it’s widgets. Or how it’s been widgetized - as the VP of the N series handsets put it over dinner last night.

In fact the full skinny, the complete low down, the full enchilada - everything you needed to know but were too afraid to ask.
We’d love to pass on the info we’ve learned, but we’re sworn [...]
Alas I am not at Nokia World. Commitments here in the UK prevented it. A total arse.
Thank you to the chaps at Nokia — Ray in particular — for their understanding and flexibility. Instead, we’ve sent our roving reporter, RobK, to Barcelona, courtesy of Nokia.
Rob’s planning some mini-summaries, overviews and, of course, [...]
Nokia Build is a service that allows you to customize your phone directly from Nokia. As reported by T3; this service is currently limited to the UK and France and currently you can only customise a Nokia 7310.
Sadly the 7310 is not the best handset in the world however if the quality is good then [...]
We’re off on Monday to the annual Nokia World event, where the former wood pulp millers and Wellington boot makers will tell us all what’s going on with their good selves – all under our eagle, watchful eye.
If there’s any avenues you’d like us to explore, topics you like discussed, matters you’d like brought to [...]
Heading in to next week’s Nokia World in Barcelona, the former Wellington boot manufacture has just made public they’ll soon be shipping the 5800 XpressMusic to parts of the world.
They’re making head way to Russia, Spain, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Finland first of all with the rest to follow suit. Although not shipping to [...]
Japan is the world’s fourth largest mobile phone market after the United States, China and India.
So reports Reuters.
And Nokia is now, officially, outta Japan. It’s hardly been in the States either, to be fair.
China’s a nation of Nokia-knock-offs although they’ve got a reasonable presence in India.
Quitting Japan does, alas, makes sense for Nokia. [...]
We’re just dashing to the annual Nokia Christmas Party, where we’re hoping to see some of the goodies leaked recently.
Or at the very least get a heads up on what we might see at Nokia World next week.
Perhaps loose lips might prevail after a sherbet or two and some exec might spill the beans on [...]
The former wood-pulp millers have just made public their latest handset, the 6260 Slide. Which is an addition to their other 6260 from 2004.
Although not really drawn as update as such on the previous series, it does still share the same model number. Only now the word Slide is has been added, almost as a [...]
Hello to the 149,024 people who viewed our Nokia Test Lab Video on Vimeo this weekend.
That’s quite a lot of school halls filled with mobile fans.
News has come to us this week that IBM has now enabled support for Nokia S60 based mobile phones, on its popular to some email software.
Many will say ‘So?’ and ‘Huh?’ followed by ‘What does that mean?’. Well, we’re led to believe that more than 80 million handsets will now have access to IBM’s email [...]
Here we go!
I took an exclusive tour around the Nokia Handset Test Laboratory in Farnborough yesterday — see what you think. It really has given me a different viewpoint on (and a new-found respect for) Nokia handsets. I’ve always found them reliable and generally well-built, but when you take a look at the [...]
For all those wondering where I was this morning, the answer is Nokia.
Alas there was no smoke and daggers and X-Files Cancerman-style shenanigans as per my post this morning. I got a little bit carried away.
I actually got a phone call from Ray Haddow, one of the chaps in Nokia’s Social Media/Communications team. [...]
Check out the management speak in this recent press release from Nokia Siemens Networks….
Nokia Siemens Networks has completed the preliminary planning process to identify the proposed remaining headcount reductions necessary to reach its previously announced synergy-related headcount adjustment goal. As a result, the company is now starting the process of sharing these preliminary plans with [...]
Launched today Mobile Industry Review are among the lucky few to receive this new handset for a first hands-on. We have a first look.
Continue ReadingThanks to the people at Nokia Womworld, the best surprise of the day has just arrived - a pre-production E63 (the model we caught a glance of unofficially the other week) not even in final packing! I’ll be trying it out and reporting back.
Looking much like an E71, it has a 3G chip-set, an all-plastic [...]
Continue ReadingWith the mobile industry appearing to have more leaks than the Welsh rugby supporters at the weekend’s international game, Nokia has come out and trumped them all.
It appears the entire Nokia hush-hush-ever-so-secret product line up from now until the end of days has been leaked to the website Engadget.com
There are just so so many to [...]
Dear me.
We’re all rooting for Nokia, we really are.
But consistently, it’s a total fook up. Clearly, there are some smart folks at the company, but these smart cookies don’t appear to be actually running the company.
Nokia, alas, is still stuck in its rubber-boot-manufacturing mindset.
If you’re an N-Gage customer (cue: groan), then Nokia are counting [...]
Those natty guys over at SymbianV3.Com have posted an application for Nokia mobiles, which effectively turns them into an optical character recognition scanner via its camera.
This could be the best use of a Nokia since someone turned the humongous N95 into a paper weight.
In luddites terms the software takes a photo of a page from [...]
It is always interesting to see how companies try and promote their services and engage with their target market.
First up is Nokia’s Comes With Music, previously we have had a lot of coverage here on MIR however this post is written in the position as head of sales and promotions at my student radio station [...]
