Nokia 5902 and 5903 Concepts, More Promising Than the X Series Handsets
05/09/2009 21:58
As you might already know, Nokia launched this week its first X series devices, that are quite hot, but still we’re pleasantly surprised by Esato board user RKSD’s concepts shown below. The first is Nokia 5903 Classic, an Android 2.0 handset with a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, 512MB RAM and 32GB of internal memory.
You can see a “live” shot of the Nokia conceptphone below, followed by a render of Nokia 5902, an even more hot looking handset. The 5902 model is also slimmer, probably runs Android as well and, as you can see, both devices use touchscreen displays.
This means that Nokia will quit using Symbian and the promising Maemo 5 platform, which I really don’t see happening too soon. What do you think?
Deux nouveaux mobiles orientés musique font leur apparition chez Nokia avec les modèles Nokia X3 et Nokia X6, le premier sous interface Series 40, le second, tactile, sous Symbian S60 5th Edition.
On a affaire ici à un smartphone Symbian S60 5th Edition qui sera intégrée à l'offre de téléchargement Comes with Music de Nokia ( toujours pas disponible en France ). Le Nokia X6 dispose d'un grand écran tactile 3,2" 640 x 320 pixels et d'une mémoire interne de 32 Go.
C'est un smartphone quadribande GSM / GPRS / EDGE et tribande UMTS / HSDPA de dimensions 111 x 51 x 13,8 mm doté d'un processeur 433 MHz. Il embarque un APN 5 megapixels avec optique Carl Zeiss et double Flash LED, associé à des outils d'édition, une sortie TV et un partage en ligne.
Il dispose des connectivités sans fil WiFi et Bluetooth, d'un module A-GPS ( Avec le logiciel Nokia Cartes 3.0 ) et il est compatible avec les services mobiles OVi ( Nokia Messaging, Ovi Share, Nokia Music Store, Ovi Files, etc. ).
Le Nokia X6 offre donc un programme plutôt polyvalent et complet, entre musique et réseaux sociaux. Doté d'une autonomie de 8 heures en conversation GSM ou 5 heures en UMTS, et de 506 heures en veille ( et jusqu'à 35 heures en lecture audio ), il devrait commercialisé au cours du dernier trimestre.

Nokia étend sa gamme de téléphones portables dédiés à la musique avec deux nouveaux mobiles à l'aspect relativement semblable mais n'offrant pas les mêmes possibilités, le premier étant un feature phone sous interface Series 40 et le second un smartphone sous Symbian S60 5th Edition.
Nokia X3 Le Nokia X3 est un téléphone Series 40 quadribande GSM / GPRS / EDGE doté d'un affichage non tactile 2,2" QVGA ( 240 x 320 pixels ) en 262 000 couleurs, doté de 46 Mo de mémoire interne extensible par port microSD.
Il dispose d'un clavier numérique coulissant et se pare de touches pour la musique sur le côté de l'écran, faisant de lui un véritable baladeur audio numérique, épaulé par un haut-parleur stéréo. En façade, il intègre un pad multifonction navi qui s'agrémentera d'effets lumineux.
Au dos, on trouvera un APN 3,2 megapixels, associé à de nouveaux outils d'édtion photo. Le Nokia X3 intègre également la connectivité Bluetooth 2.1 ( avec profils A2DP et AVRCP ) et la Radio FM. Il permet de profiter des contenus de l' Ovi Store et dispose du service Nokia Messaging, avec une vue commune pour tous les types de messages associés à un contact.
L'autonomie annoncée est respectable, jusqu'à 7h30 en conversation et jusqu'à 380 heures en veille, pour 26 heures en lecture audio. S'il est dépourvu de la 3G, le Nokia X3 se distinguera par son petit prix, 159 € TTC nu, pour une disponibilité annoncée pour le dernier trimestre de l'année.
Full touch Nokia 5230 announced, 3G and GPS onboard
25/08/2009 17:49
Nokia are obviously getting more and more serious about their touchscreen portfolio. Hot on the heels of the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, they have announced the Nokia 5230 - an entry-level touchscreen handset. The newcomer has the same dimensions as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic but looses the Wi-Fi and has only a 2 megapixel camera.
Much like the Nokia 5800, the Nokia 5230 sports a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels, FM radio, 3.5 mm audio jack and microSD card slot. The camera has been downgraded to 2 megapixel resolution but manages the decent VGA@30fps video recording.
Nokia 5230 runs the latest Symbian S60 5th edition and is powered by the same battery as 5800 - a 1320 mAh one, which is good 320 mAh larger that that of the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. According to the manufacturer the 5230 will be capable of 33 hours of non-stop music playback.
The final noteworthy features of the the 5230 include Ovi Maps and social networking integration such as Facebook, MySpace and YouTube.
The available inbox colors for the Nokia 5230 are black and white for the front panel and red, pink, blue, yellow, silver and dark silver for the rear covers.
The handset will be available in Q4 this year for a recommended price of 150 euro before taxes or subsides. It will also be distributed in a Comes With Music package in certain markets, priced at 259 euro before subsides and taxes.
And here is a short promo video of the new handset, that underlines, what Nokia consider to be its key features.
Today Nokia unveiled the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition - a full GPS-centric variant of the Nokia 5800 XpresMusic. Using the momentum gained by the original XpressMusic handset, the new gadget matches the functionality of its predecessor almost perfectly. The main differences are the added lifetime Drive and Walk navigation license and the cool looking stand and car charger that allow you to easily use the phone as an in-car SatNav unit.
There's only one other difference compared to the original model according to the data sheet of theNokia 5800 Navigation Edition. It will be available in Chrome and Black color combo rather than any of the two-colored versions of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition will come in three different flavors, each packing quad-band GSM connectivity. Two of them will also pack WLAN and dual-band 3G with HSDPA, while the third one (we are guessing it will be available in either China or some emerging markets) will lack both connectivity options.
Unfortunately, judging by the promo video published, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition's 3.2" screen seems to be as poor under direct sunlight as the one of the first S60 5th edition handset. Considering that the handset is meant to sit on your dashboard, frequently exposed to sunlight, this flaw might make it somewhat less than a perfect travel companion.
But never mind our concerns, here goes the video in question for you to check out. It introduces the keys features of the Nokia 5800 Navigation edition and demonstrates the last version of Ovi Maps GPS navigation software that comes preinstalled.
Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition will start shipping before the end of the current quarter for an estimated 285 euro before taxes or subsidies.
