Nokia’s Mobile World Congress news is over with, having announced a total of 5 phones (6710 Navigator, 6720 Classic, E75, E55, and N86), as well as the new Ovi Store. You’ve seen our coverage of the various models, but in the storm of press releases, I kept notes on a few things that no one [...]
One of the unique things about the 2009 Mobile World Congress is that four major manufacturers all announced at least one S60-powered smartphone, in one form or another. We have the Idou concept from Sony Ericsson, which will be their first S60-powered device (they previously only used UIQ), the OmniaHD (i8910) from Samsung, the LG [...]
Coming to you from outside Sagrada Familia, this week’s episode takes a look at the S60-related announcements from the 2009 Mobile World Congress. There’s news of the Sony Ericsson Idou, as well as the Samsung OmniaHD (i8910), the LG KT770, and Nokia’s 5 smartphones that were announced this week. I’ve also got some thoughts on [...]
If you want to hear honest opinions from three guys who probably know more about Symbian, S60, and the mobile industry in general, then you need not look further than the All About Symbian podcast: Mobile World Congress Editions.

However, [...]
Last year at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, Spain, Texas Instruments unveiled its OMAP3 chip, which supports up to 720p high-resolution playback and a handful of other robust mobile processing enhancements. Fast forward 12 months, and the Samsung OmniaHD (i8910) features this 720p capability, plus Nokia has announced that its next Internet Tablet [...]
Being that I’m the ‘at-home correspondent’ for MobileBurn.com again this year, I sent Michael over to the LG booth at the 2009 Mobile World Congress to check out the LG KT770 that they’re hiding over there. Not only was Michael able to get some great hands-on photographs, he also put together a quick video, running [...]
Following up on the news from earlier today that Nokia and Skype will be integrating the Skype service into Nokia’s Nseries smartphones, I have a picture that I found on the Skype blog, courtesy of TechCraver.com. While the Nokia press release made it sound like the S60 contacts app was going to get a web-enabled [...]
If you didn’t know, for the past several years, Nokia and Qualcomm have been battling it out in courtrooms around the world over patents and licensing fees. The two finally made up last year, in the form of a rather large settlement, and today announced that they will be taking the North American market by [...]
