As I hinted about on our Twitter account recently, I got a new toy yesterday – the Nokia E73 Mode for T-Mobile. I like reviewing the carrier-branded phones because it’s interesting to see how much progress Nokia has made with each carrier, specifically when comparing the phone to a similar unbranded device. Nokia normally releases [...]
Yesterday, news came over at Engadget that an unannounced Eseries, the E73, is apparently coming to T-Mobile USA on June 16th. The phone will also go by the name ‘Mode’, which is kinda lame, in my opinion, but other than that, it looks basically like the E72, with a few cosmetic changes. While the E73 [...]
The Nokia E72 is already available in several colors – black, bronze, and purple. However, Nokia’s not done milking the color train, as they’ve recently outed the white edition of this QWERTY-equipped Eseries. Apparently, it’s only going to be available in Malaysia, at least initially, which means if you want to use it on AT&T’s [...]
This morning, at a time far too early for this American blogger to be awake, Nokia unveiled the latest Eseries, the E5. The Nokia E5 is modeled after the hugely popular E71 and E63 (which, in turn, were modeled after the RIM BlackBerry form factor, by the way). The Nokia E5 might look a bit [...]
After the Nokia N97 and N97 Mini, no other touchscreen smartphones from Nokia have supported the same homescreen widgets, which honestly had me worried that these would be single-use-case devices. Fortunately, that’s not the case – today, Nokia announced the C6, its next generation of hybrid touchscreen smartphone with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The [...]
It wasn’t too long ago that Sony Ericsson quietly went live with the Vivaz, a new touchscreen Symbian-powered smartphone with some impressive specs. Earlier tonight in Barcelona, Spain, at the 2010 Mobile World Congress, they upped the ante with the Vivaz Pro. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro has the same basic features as the Vivaz, [...]
If you’ve been using the AccuWeather widget on your Nokia N97 or N97 Mini, you’ve noticed there’s a small ad slot towards the bottom of the widget. Eagle-eyed Derek Hoffer noticed this, and was quite surprised to see an ad for the Nokia Saga, an unannounced touchscreen smartphone with what appears to be a slide-out [...]
Seven months ago, I was able to review the Nokia N97, then the flagship Nseries multimedia computer. This was a big deal for Nokia, and they needed to nail it, given several factors that I outlined in my Nokia N97 Review Conclusion. The unit I reviewed then had firmware v10.0.0.12, and it was a complete [...]
Sometimes, I really think Amazon.com got their name for their amazing prices. Even though the phone just started shipping in the U.S. and is available for $470 directly from Nokia, Amazon has already dropped its price for the E72 NAM to a feasible $407 with free shipping! That’s $407 for a full QWERTY keyboard, optical [...]
