It gets worse for the N-Gage 11/11/2003 03:18 PM
We wouldn't keep kicking the N-Gage when it's down like this, but the bad news keeps on coming. The latest calamity: the encryption that prevents N-Gage games from being played on other cellphones has been cracked, so now there's no reason to buy Nokia's gamephone if you just want to play one of its games. Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal since Nokia would at least see some money from people buying the games, but copies of N-Gage games are already being swapped online. So Nokia is doubly screwed. Read [Thanks everyone who wrote in with this]...

N-Gage: Backtalkin' 06/01/2004 10:29 AM

So you bought a first-generation N-Gage and now you're feeling sort of silly using it, tacohead and such. First of all, stick to your guns, cowboy. The N-Gage, for all its faults as a game device, is a pretty nice Symbian phone. Plus now, if you're feeling especially cavalier, you can modify your N-Gage to work just like a regular phone with a speaker/earpiece in the back, which is a little goofy, I guess, but nothing like the travesty that is Sidetalkin'. AllAboutNGage has a howto, which looks to be mostly a fairly simple (if delicate) one drill job. (Thanks, Ewan!)

We've all given Nokia a break with the launch of the N-Gage QD. I mean, they fixed Sidetalkin', added a longer-lasting battery, they dropped extraneous features like stereo sound ... wait, whaa happan? Digital Lifestyles has the first of a three-part review up, focusing on the hardware of the QD and while it seems like a perfectly capable Series 60 phone (much like the first N-Gage), I just don't know what in the hell Nokia is doing anymore. The way to gaming console success probably isn't to make a device that people might sort of be interested in if it's free.

With an expensive price tag and a clunky interface, Nokia's N-Gage mobile gaming platform has its share of detractors. But its biggest problem may be the lack of decent games you can play on it. By Suneel Ratan.

A thought about the Nokia N-Gage

A thought about the Nokia N-Gage 10/29/2003 04:59 PM

After playing with an N-Gage, I think sidetalkin.com is freakin' hillarious. One thought on this sidetalking thing, though:

At least it keeps the screen from getting all schmutzed. My Treo 300 screen gets absolutely filthy, due to me pressing the slab up against my head to talk. Also, there seems to be a defect in the LCD developing, which seems to have something to do with, again, being pressed up against my face.

In most other ways, this thing looks to be a flop... but the sidetalking thing might just not be such a bad idea.

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.)

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 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.

Nokia 7260

Nokia 7260 08/17/2004 11:27 AM

A Czech site has what appears to be at first glance an updated 7610, called the 7260, but upon closer inspection appears to be one of two things: either a cheaper, Series 40 phone for those who want the looks of the 7610 but not all the features (dumb people, some call them), or possibly a prototype of the 7610 that was never meant to see the light of day. I don't read Czech, though, so mostly I'm just extrapolating from the bits of familiar numbers I can fish out. Either way, kind of nice looking - wait, no, hideous - and certainly somehow related to the 7610.

In fact, doing a little snooping about, it seems a few European shoppers have seen these in stores and claim they are smaller than the 7610, while just sharing their general shape. This I cannot confirm.

Nokia 6670

Nokia 6670 09/23/2004 07:13 AM

Nokia rarely announces just one product at a time, and today was no exception. In addition to that Remote Camera, they also have revealed the Nokia 6670, a tri-band phone (in both US and Everybody Else tunings), that looks a lot like a 7610 without the strange keypad and the gussied up case. Instead the 6670 is a fairly plain looking model - although appealing, in its way, as long as you don't mind the New Era Nokia asymmetric styling - that runs Series 60 and has a one-megapixel camera.

Nokia's plan is all starting to make a lot more sense to me now. Release the eye-catching, weirdo phones first, then release a follow up model that people with actually buy. I don't understand why that's their plan, but that seems to be it.

On Malik likes his. I wonder if I can trade out my 7610 for a 6630? Charlie?

Here's Om's post....

It is hard for me to imagine that I am carrying around in my pocket a computer that is as powerful as my first generation Pentium powered AST desktop, I wrestled with back in 1995, typing out scintiallting stories about memory chip prices for Quick Nikkei News. It seemed breezy enough, running the now forgotten Windows 3.1. With some kicking around, the TCP/IP stack on it worked for me to get Internet access as well. Fast forward by ten years, and the new Nokia 6630 packs a mightier punch - a 200 MHz ARM 5 processor - in a small but lethal package. The Nokia 6630 is based on Symbian OS. It is a tri-band phone for GSM 900/1800/1900, EDGE and WCDMA networks. Weighing 127 grams and measuring 110 x 60 x 20.6 mm, it is world’s smallest megapixel phone for GSM and WCDMA networks. It has everything you would normally want in a good smart-enough phone. Clearly, this is the best 3G phone on the market, especially given that how the others are so clunky and well ugly! It is light enough that sometimes I forget it is sitting in my pocket. (more…)

Nokia 7710? 09/21/2004 10:38 AM

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.
