Nokia this week launched the Nokia E6 and the Nokia X7 to add to their already existing range of symbian^3 devices the N8, E7, C7 and C6 to bring the total to six. The new device E6 adds to the E-Enterprise Business range made popular by the E71 and latterly the E72. The X7 compliments the line-up of the X-Music Media devices.
The X7 is a 4″ AMOLED music-media centric device and from the rear looks similar to the C6 in that it has a curvature to the back of the handset to add to the design asthetics. Above you can see the slot for the sim card and memory card. The camera is 8 megapixel with a dual-led flash. The X7 is sealed -stainless steel meaning that you do not have access to remove the battery and it uses Gorilla glass for the display. Read More »
You will no doubt be aware of a Nokia Event to be held next week. Rumours are surfacing that it is the long awaited symbian^3 update, now supposedly renamed the ‘summer update’. Yours truly has been invited to ‘lunch and chat’ with the Nokia folk at the kind invite of WomworldNokia on the same day. I still hope for a symbian^3 qwerty/touch hybrid seeing that I am ‘rolling’ with my Nokia N82 until then. Jay Montano has spoken more about the ‘summer update’ here. What are you ideas?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is the connection of two devices, similar to wifi and bluetooth. NFC uses technology that requires the two devices attempting communication are situated literally next to one another. The new idea is to reduce the use of cash or card payments by carrying the technology in your mobile phone. However, as with all new technology there are pro’s and con’s to this method. Check here for a full in-depth analysis. Check back to leave your comments and ideas in the forum.
In preparation for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, the Xperia Launch Party was held on 31 March 2011. After a false start, with booing and calls for ‘down with the dj’ after he inadvertently welcomed everyone to the ‘Nokia’ event, invited guests, press and competition winners made the night truly special.
The featured entertainer of the night was the rapper Tinchy Stryder. The Xperia Play launches with 60 games in the first week, 6 of these are PlayStation 1 games.
The iphone 4 and selected other modules has today received an update to 4.3.1. As usual there is no mention of the battery drain fix that many of us have been experiencing seeing as Apple has made no acknowledgement of such a problem. Hopefully I and others can confirm in a few days whether this update solves the problems.
