[Nokia Phones] - Nokia 5800 gets touched in the wild — again

27 07 2008

At this point, we’ve seen the Tube from everyone but Nokia — heck, even Morgan Freeman got a chance to show it off — and it looks like that trend isn’t going to abate any time soon. Another round of in-the-wild shots of the supposed XpressMusic 5800 have popped up (yes, the latest prototype seems to have dropped the “XpressMedia” badge), showing off a pretty uninspiring keyboard that we can only hope has no bearing on the final product. Guess that’s why they haven’t announced this sucker yet, eh? We hope?

[Nokia Phones] - Analyst says Android and Symbian to merge, Nokia and Google to get matching tattoos

26 07 2008

, Nokia, Symbian, Android

According to the oracle-like superbrains at J. Gold Associates, Google’s Android OS and Nokia’s Symbian will “combine to provide a single open source OS,” sometime in the very near future… say, three to six months. Sure, Android is just about to launch on devices in late 2008, and Nokia just announced in June that it will be moving Symbian towards open source — and of course the two companies have no formal relationship that would come close to permitting such a collaboration. Still, J. Gold assures us this is happening, stating, “A combination of the Android and Symbian efforts would be good for the industry, good for Google and good for Symbian.” In related news, we understand a handful of similar mergers are in the offing: Linksys and Belkin, Red Hat and Ubuntu, Engadget and Gizmodo, and the inevitable one-two punch of Coke and Pepsi.

[Nokia Phones] - Nokia adds trio of recent models to N-Gage compatibility list

24 07 2008

, Software, Nokia, Symbian If you’ve been desperately seeking some Snakes Subsonic gaming partners on that N82 of yours, your pool of potential playmates just got a little (emphasis on “little”) wider. The N78, N96, and XpressMusic 5320 have now been added into the N-Gage client compatibility mix — though of the three, the N78 is the only one that’s really widely available at this point. The 5320’s just now starting to trickle into distribution around the world, and if you happen to end up playing System Rush with an N96 owner in the next few weeks… well, you’re playing with a very special individual, indeed.
