Video: 20 minute hands on with the Nokia 5530 Xpress Music
Wampyre from Symbian Guru has found a very interesting video. (Voici, mais en français) - The Phone House takes a look at the latest S60 5th Edition handset from Nokia, the 5530 Xpress Music. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYvFU56ii8Q] Some interesting additions do include the new home screen interface and the kinetic scrolling in the contacts. Hopefully kinetic scrolling [...]
The Gadget Show: Nokia N97 Special
I always like reviews from sources that are not necessarily Nokia/Phone/heavy tech centric as they focus on things that the “general public” are more concerned about, and these are the type of reviews that (have more chance to ) filter to them. Jon from Channel 5′s The Gadget Show takes a closer look on the [...]
Nokia N97 and N86 on Sale today in UK!
So today, the N97 has been launched in the UK, and it is ANNOYINGLY exclusively on sale via Nokia stores until the 26th June from which it will be available to the rest of your usual networks and stores. (Bad news for anyone trying to get a better deal for their contracts) However, it seems [...]
Adverts: Nokia E71x exclusively at AT&T
A rarity to see a Nokia handset being picked up by an American carrier – here’s the advert for the Nokia E71x, exclusive to AT&T. And while you’re at it, here’s Michael Oryl’s review of the AT&T’s branded (and slightly crippled) E71x.
Interview with Nokia Designer, Mark Delaney
Nokia Designer, Mark Delaney discusses the design choices at Nokia for these three low end handsets, the 6700, 6303 and 6710 fold In the video he says if he had to compare the 6700 with anything, it would have to be the 3310, “an iconic phone of its time”. I don’t think people will remember [...]
What will you be picking up this Friday? Nokia N97 or an Apple iPhone 3G S?
Nokia N97 fans…Friday, 19th June 2009 is fast approaching; just under 24 hours in the UK until you can get your paws on Nokia’s latest and greatest. It has been a mighty long wait, 6 months after the 2nd December 08 announcement. You’ve seen the flurry of reviews recently, and may have even been lucky [...]
GSM Arena's Nokia N97 Review
The GSM arena guys have published a hefty 11 pager of a review, and probably the most comprehensive Nokia N97 review to date. If you’ve got the time and are curious about purchasing the N97, it’s an excellent introduction and analysis to practically every single one of the the N97′s major features. Here’s just a [...]
Video Review of the Nokia N97
Phone Arena have prepared an insightful video review of the Nokia N97. Thanks to John Mortimer again for this find. It agrees pretty much with what most reviews have been saying, except for call quality – where Phone Arena aren’t that particularly pleased with. _____ I want the BLACK N97 Right now!!!!! Waaaa!
Live Pics of the New Nokia 5530 Xpress Music!

Nokia's Third Touch Screen Phone! The New Nokia 5530 Xpress Music!
Ignoring the 7700 and 7710, here’s the third and latest touch screen phone from Nokia; the 5530 Xpress Music. It may look familiar to you – because it has surfaced once as a possibly successor to the 5800. But then it was deemed as a poor Chinese knock-off of the 5800 instead of actually being [...]
Nokia Expert's Unboxing and First Impressions of the Nokia N97
Reader, John Mortimer, has pointed out that Matthew Miller of Nokia Experts and Znet has posted a great unboxing and detailed first impressions post of the White NAM Nokia N97. [YouTube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJRWZ3uBiBY] Crickey, it’s 4am. Via Nokia Experts
Nokia E72 "Leaked" on YouTube
A promo video of a new Eseries handset, the E72 has been “accidentally” uploaded to the official Nokia Conversations YouTube account. -_- I don’t see the fuss about it myself. The only thing seemingly exciting is that fact that it has apparently been “leaked”. You know what I do love? That wibbly wobbly screen that [...]
MobileBurn's Unboxing of the NAM Nokia N97
You must have seen your fair share of unboxing videos right now of the Nokia N97. Although here’s another one, Michael Oryl goes a tad bit to show you how to insert the battery, the fiddly SIM and generally just the first few things you need to do to set up a S60 phone. via [...]
Review: Boy Genius Report & Phone Arena's Nokia N97 Reviews (and another Nokia/N97 rant)
BGR and Phone Arena both review the Nokia N97. BGR’s is short, more of a quick summary, whilst Phone Arena’s is laid out over 5 pages. There are some intruiging differences between the two, but both seem to share this growing disappointment from the N97. It seems that whilst the N97 is a great phone [...]
HTC Touch Pro2 Review
Back in April, I wrote about how the HTC Touch Pro2 was perhaps what the N97 should have been. There were a few similarities with the N97, slide/tilt form factor, large screen, but one I was particularly impressed with was the 5 row keyboard. How does it fare under the scrutiny of review? Here’s Boy [...]
Nokia N97 Free on £35/month contract! £109.99 on £25/month contract!
The Nokia N97 has already been on sale at the NY Nokia flagship store. The UK however, has to wait until June 19th (also the release date of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen ). Good news for UK customers is that we get the option, unlike the US, to get the N97 subsidized on [...]
Video: Nokia N97 Comeback
When I watched this yesterday, I didn’t really know what to think (apart from, “ooh, that’s CJ!”). I had just been mulling about certain “disappointing” features of the N97 which if improved could have made it more than a serious competition for the multimedia handsets of 2009. Watching it again, I remembered that the general [...]
Comparison Live Pics: Nokia N97 vs E90 vs E75 vs 5800 and Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD)
My-Symbian has posted some excellent comparison shots of the N97 with the E90, E75, 5800 and Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD). A few interesting selections below: 1 – E90 and N97 E90 is huge, but that’s because of that big screen and that spectacular keyboard. Not the best looking phone though. You’d think the reason Nokia [...]
The Phones Show: Episode 82 – Nokia N97 video review/how the N97 could have been improved
Steve Litchfield of AllAboutSymbian has recently published Episode 82 of the ever popular , “The Phones Show” Topics covered: iPhone 3Gs announced Nokia Ovi Store – better than “downloads” app but still has a long way to go S.E. Xperia 1 – new firmware Opera Mobile Update – v9.7 – uses turbo which boosts rendering [...]
Nokia N97 Camera Test
James Burland of Nokia Creative is putting the Nokia N97 (which he helped his work colleague win from the Search for N… contest) through a series of rigorous tests. Notice in the colour shots how much more vibrant the colours are from the N97 than the N95 8GB, particularly the yellows reds and pinks. Also [...]
New Apple iPhone 3GS announced
I thought I may be swayed into getting the next gen iPhone given the rumoured specifications, but alas, the upgrades are minor and very disappointing. Apple have, inevitably, upgraded the memory to 32GB – $299 on contract. You also get a bunch of other “new” features such as: Video recording! Since 2003. It is VGA [...]
