Nokia 500 Live Pics

| August 1, 2011 | 16 Replies

  László has found a hungarian blog that has some live pics of the newly announced Nokia 500. http://www.technet.hu/nokia_blog/20110801/fotoriport_kezunkben_az_1_ghz-es_nokia_500/ It looks deceptively slim but it’s actually 14.1mm at the thick end. 111.3 x 53.8 x 14.1mm, at a quite light 93g. The curved nature means it’s easier to hold as it tapers at the edges rather [...]

Goodbye Nseries/Eseries/Xseries! Nokia New Naming Conventions. Again. Sticks with just Numbers.

Goodbye Nseries/Eseries/Xseries! Nokia New Naming Conventions. Again. Sticks with just Numbers.

Apparently Nokia are having yet again new names for their devices. And these new names are not names. They’re numbers. Lovely. http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/01/whats-in-a-name-nokias-product-name-conventions/ I’ll stick by my opinions on actually wanting a name. Ideally there would be both. A code name to distinguish amongst Nokia users where this handset lies and a name that’s marketable. (Numbers [...]

I don’t know if it was a timely message to our host or just coincidence but things seem to right themselves after contacting them. Anyway, I’m sort of scared [...]

With all the buzz about Leaked handsets, competitions (yes I’m also hooked on N9seconds comp), and all the things people keep saying that Nokia is doing wrong, I can’t help but be happy that when it comes right down to it, Nokia stay their course and do what I have always loved, which is to [...]
