New Nokias: Nokia 7280, Nokia 7270,
Nokia 7260

Okay, so Nokia just dropped three phones onto us, and they're pretty crazy, and by 'crazy' I mean 'sort of ugly.' I have to cop to sort of liking the Tron-style and the asymetrical design - the one round corner, one square corner 'new Nokia' look - but I have a feeling I'll be in the minority. Would it kill them to just release a nice, silver phone that you could take home to mom?

Anyway, here's the breakdown, and I'll probably go after this post in a couple of waves. The one pictured here is the Nokia 7280, which you might notice doesn't have a keypad. That's because Nokia designed it to be "sleek," "sexy," and "edgy." (I'm not joking.)

Nokia 7710?

Nothing is more fun to write about than mystery gadgets that have no backstory and no included information, but sometimes you gots to take what you gets. So here you go: an unnamed Series 90 phone/pda/thing prototype from Nokia. I'm not even positive it's Series 90, but the widescreen would certainly imply that. You can be sure it's from Nokia, though, because it looks like a crappy science fiction chess board.

The picture is labelled Nokia 7710, for whatever that's worth. If you recall, the 7700 was the Series 90 showcase phone that Nokia cancelled before it hit the market.

Nokia 7710 Strikes Again

Here's another picture of that mystery "Nokia 7710," the Series 90 device that we basically know next to nothing about. I'm still hoping that it's a real device and not just some one-off prototype that Nokia forgot to incinerate.

Nokia Updates Lifebl0g

Nokia has updated their blogging software for Series 60 phones, "Lifeblog," to version 1.5. Improvements include the ability to back up you data to a CD or DVD (using your PC, of course, not your phone) and an improved interface for looking through your content and making edits.

Technically Lifeblog is a Euro-only application, although there's likely nothing stopping you from using the software, if you can find a way to purchase it. The upgrade is free for existing users.

Nokia LifeBlog Beta Released

Nokia has released a free beta version of its LifeBlog software for download, new software designed for quickly adding pictures, text, and movies to your own personal blog. While they say it "works best with the Nokia 7610 phone" (sadly, not yet available in the US), there is an outside change it might work with another phone -- they list the Nokia 6630, specifically. If any of our European readers have already gotten a hold of a 7610 or 6630 and want to write up their a quick review/preview of the LifeBlog software, we certainly would be happy to read it.

Why the Nokia 6600 Might Be Better Than
a Treo

Paul Boutin has a nice write up of the Nokia 6600 over at Slate, putting that relatively staid phone up against the Treo 650 and explaining why the generally less-impressive Nokia might be a better choice for many. It all boils down to the beauty of Series 60, to me. Nokia may be a heartless ice queen running down freedom on her iron, lawyer-pulled sleigh, but she makes an amazingly polished operating system for phones. It's not as PC-like as Palm or Windows Mobile, but it puts the phone functions first, instead of hidden behind layers of intelligent abstraction. That's worth a lot—especially when the phones are essentially free.

Plus there's still plenty of whiz-bang to be had from a Series 60 phone. People still marvel that I can get to a terminal on a Nokia 3650 and that phone is like two years old. (Thanks, John!)

Nokia 8000 Series?

My ability to decode Czech web sites not at all what it used to be, all I can tell you is that this looks like the Nokia 8000 (or 8xxx) and rumor has it it'll be available in three weeks. It's a slider and it's coated in shiny aluminium. It's also only slightly larger than a Swiss Army Knife, it appears. If you know anything else, please pass it along and perhaps there will be cookies and milk for you. More metal-coated pics after the jump. (Thanks, David!)

First Nokia Series 60 Worm Discovered,
Infects Via Bluetooth

It's only a proof of concept for now, but Symantec's Security Response site is listing the first worm for Nokia Series 60 phones, called EPOC.Cabir. The worm transmits itself over open Bluetooth connections to other phones, copying itself over where it continues to search for other Bluetooth-enabled devices -- after copying itself to another, hidden directory from where it executes, meaning even deleting the trojan .SIS file and rebooting won't stop the worm from replicating.

Since EPOC.Cabir is proof of concept alone for now, there is no payload (like deleting all your contacts or something), besides the diminished battery life of a phone always actively searching and copying over Bluetooth. Don't get too worried, for now, but make sure you have disabled Bluetooth when not in use and never accept Bluetooth connections from unknown sources or open/execute files from unknown sources -- you know, all the basic network safety tips you should know from when we all collectively saved the internet from Outlook viruses.

Nokia Wireless Headset HS-11W and Nokia
Wireles GPS Module LD-1W

And last but not least (if you're reading from the bottom up; otherwise, welcome to the Nokia posts!) are these two new peripherals from Nokia, a new Nokia Wireless Headset HS-11W headset with a 6 hour talk time, and this Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-1W that also connects to your phone or PDA via Bluetooth (the GPS may not actually be new - it seems sort of familiar - but I don't exactly recall hearing about it before). The GPS unit uses the same battery and charge plug as most Nokia phones, so you can use your existing charge to go along with it.

The headset should be out later this year, while the GPS unit isn't scheduled until Q1 2005.

Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600

Nokia announced their 1600 and 1110 models, meant to be affordable, easy-to-use and light on frills. Nokia is targeting developing nations with these models and they look well enough to suit their purpose as part of a plan to eventually offer mobile service for just $5 a month. They both feature talk times of over 5 hours and the Nokia 1600 has a 65k color screen while the Nokia 1110 uses a sunlight-friendly inverted black and white display. They're expected to retail for $105 and $85, respectively, and will be available later this year.
