Honest 836 Report post Posted June 12, 2008 Are These Nokia's New Handsets? Making their rounds on the internet are a few of Nokia’s new handsets that we could expect to see some time soon. They all seem like high-end editions with plenty of features to offer from the rumored i-Killer, the touch screen enabled Tube, to new dual sliders with 5MP cameras. The list includes – Nokia 5800 XpressMedia – Tube Nokia’s contribution to the i-Killer list is going to be called the 5800 XpressMedia, which could be a new series the company intends to kick start. Nokia’s Touch UI seems like a variation of their Symbian S60 UI and that is in no way a bad thing for Nokia users. The Tube will also have a stylus for navigation and selection, come equipped with a 3MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics (just 3MP??? Hopefully that will be upgraded before it’s out officially) and Bluetooth with an A2DP profile would surely be part of its connectivity options. It will surely support EDGE and GPRS and possibly 3G with HSDPA speeds but there doesn’t seem to be any official information about that. According to the images floating around, there doesn’t appear to be a secondary camera, so perhaps it’s possible that the handset may not support video calling. Yeah right! Nokia N85 The Nokia N96 has scarcely graced us with its presence and there already seems to be a successor making the scene. This new dual slider seems to have the same features that include a 5MP camera with Carl-Zeiss optics and a secondary camera in front. Nothing else is known about the handset, but the questions that arise are will it also have DVB-H support? And since the N81 and N96 have Nokia’s Navi Wheel feature, would this one have it too? And what about GPS? The bigger question would be - Why make a clone of a handset that already exists? We’ll just have to wait and see if any of these questions are answered by the company. Nokia N79 Another upgrade that's on this list is the apparent successor to Nokia’s recently launched N78 and guess what... it's called the N79. Nokia seems to be running out of design ideas with handsets that look almost identical to their predecessors and only a slight alteration to the form factor. The N78 looks quite like the N82 and now the N79 doesn’t look all that different from the N78. Once again it wouldn’t be speculation as much as a lucky guess to assume that this S60 enabled handset would also have very similar features to the N78. But let’s just wait for Nokia to come right out and say it. Nokia 6260 The last one on the list is what looks like the upgrade to either the 6220 Classic or the 6120 Navigator slider handsets. What we can tell from the rather unclear images going around is that it has a 5MP camera but will it be another Navigator or just another high-end handset from Nokia much like the others on this list. Of course there’s no word on most of these phones, save the Tube, (since it’s been making the scene for a while now) being official in any way. The live images don’t tell us too much about the handsets so as of now it’s just a waiting game. Stay Tuned. Courtesy : Tech2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 Nokia Tube Makes its Movie Debut I was never skeptical when I first heard that Nokia decided to compete with Apple and jumped on the i-Killer bandwagon. But the Tube or rather the 5800 XpressMedia is making its mark all over the place. From videos on YouTube showcasing Nokia’s Touch Sensitive UI in ads and new technologies coming up to blockbuster movies the Tube is making the scene. It looks like we could expect it anytime soon. My fingers are crossed. As a bit of a spoiler, which might I add, you’ll get a chance to see a live working model of the Tube in the new Batman movie the Dark Knight and believe you me, though I seriously doubt the handset is capable of what they show, it still looks quite good.

Honest 836 Report post Posted October 13, 2008 Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Comes to India Priced at around Rs. 20k -- the touchscreen phone debuts in Nov While most of the countries will not be able to get Nokia 5800 XpressMusic by this year end, India is amongst the lucky seven to have this phone by November. The phone is expected to start retailing from third week of November at around Rs. 20,000. "What iPhone did was to bring the touch element to a multi-media converged device. Since we are already the leader in converged devices in India, Nokia 5800 will be a revolutionary launch from our stable. Our touchscreen bet will have the latest features and will be packed with music." said Nokia India's MD, D Shivakumar. The price is competitive and plays a crucial part for Nokia to gain a foothold in the touchscreen market as most high end phones like iPhone, Samsung Omnia are priced above 30k. For the uninitiated, 5800 XpressMusic is Nokia's first offering to run on Symbian S60 5th Edition OS and has 8GB memory, stereo loudspeakers, 3.2 megapixel camera, motion sensor and GPS.

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) ^^^ Is it worth 22k? what are the pros and cons of this handset? Is it like the Iphone or something similar or better than Iphone? I know its too early but then there are a lot of techies out here who have more info.... I understand they are offering some headset (not too sure if it is a bluetooth one) free for those who pre-book it with Rs 2000. I went to the Nokia store but could see only a dummy model and not a live model. Edited December 24, 2008 by KumaarShah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
