Orange Switzerland to unleash the Nokia N9 on September 15th - GSMArena.com news

01 August, 2011

As you may be aware, the N9 is the swan-song device that represents the end of the Nokia/MeeGo marriage. A fitting end but still a sad one to be sure.
The N9 has received plenty of praise during its pre-release life from reviewers and industry types to boot. Even we have had the pleasure of being charmed by its unique user experience and its wonderful design.
But of course despite all the buzz surrounding its existence and its lifespan, it still hasn't actually been unleashed on the general public. One of a small handful to put a time to the release of the N9 however has been Orange Switzerland. Their online store quotes the N9's expected arrival from September 15. Wonderful news, especially to those who are MeeGo fans.

Nokia's WP7 phones to use U8500 dual-core 1.2GHz chipsets? - GSMArena.com news

Nokia's WP7 phones to use U8500 dual-core 1.2GHz chipsets? - GSMArena.com news

The CEO of ST-Ericsson got chatty in front of Forbes and said that Nokia’s Windows Phone 7 devices will be powered by the U8500 dual-core CPU and its successors will go on to power Windows Phone 8 phones too.
So far, Windows Phone 7 devices have been exclusively powered by Qualcomm chipsets (due to Microsoft’s limiting guidelines, which were revised recently). ST-Ericsson’s CEO however says that they will be one of two chip suppliers for Nokia’s WP7 phones (he didn’t who the other was).

The first Nokia devices will use the dual-core U8500 chipset, which has been seen running at 1.2GHz. Things might change by the time these devices come out, but they look to be the first dual-core Windows Phone 7 handsets.
The CEO also said that over the course of 2012 Nokia will release 12 Windows Phone 7 devices that will be based on future versions of the U8500 chipset. He also believes that ST-Ericsson will be a key supplier for Windows Phone 8, yep that's 8.
The Mango update is v7.5, so Windows Phone 8 is already very likely in the works (and the rumor mill suggests that it and Windows 8 will be closely related).
The U8500 has a powerful Mali-400 GPU, the same as on the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II.

Hands on: Nokia X7 review By Gareth Beavis

Techradar.com - Up close with Nokia's new touchscreen titan

Nokia's pledge to keep Symbian alive and well has been tested with the Windows Phone 7 announcement, and the Nokia X7 is the first device since the shift to launch with the original platform.

The Nokia X7 features a large widescreen 4-inch screen, and comes in at less than 12mm thick - not the thinnest on the market, but certainly pretty svelte with rounded edges.

However, it still feels pretty chunky in the hand

An 8MP camera is flanked by a frankly blinding dual LED flash, capable of HD video recording - the shutter speed is pretty decent in our tests, although it could do with being a little better at jumping back to the viewfinder once the snap has been snapped.

The new Symbian Anna update is, in our opinion, simply a very small in the general direction of where Nokia needs to be going to bring its new phones up to speed in the smartphone wars.

The home screen scooches along with a finger now, rather than waiting a couple of beats to move, and the portrait QWERTY keyboard has been added to the mix.

However, the widgets are still in the same 4-icon rows, with very little available in the way of customization. Nokia claims that this is fine and simple for its users, but we really can't agree - if users want a full screen music widget with huge album art and a few random application icons dotted around the

place, they should be able to have them.

The portrait keyboard is fine at entering text - the placement of a few of the keys feels a little counter-intuitive, but it won't take long to adjust to the new system if you feel like picking up the Nokia X7.

The video playback is pretty sensational, as you might hope - the ClearBlack OLED screen does its jobs admirably at showing high-resolution video although there's no HD video out option here.

Nokia E6 hands-on: First look - GSMArena.com

Nokia E6 hands-on: First look - GSMArena.com

Introduction

The E6 is Nokia’s latest business offer and it has just landed in our office. It’s the company’s first smartphone running the new Symbian Anna OS out of the box. The E6 is a touch phone with a QWERTY keyboard and it even has a higher pixel density than the iPhone’s Retina display.

It was a while since we’ve seen a high-end Nokia messenger. We are not trying to dismiss the previous E-series achievements, they’ve just became too conventional. Lucky for us the E6 brings a few interesting innovations to freshen up the lineup. It was about time!

The E6 is Nokia’s first handset with VGA resolution and also Nokia’s first QWERTY bar with a touchscreen. Its pixel density is even higher than the Apple’s Retina display. The E6 doesn’t stop here though – it packs the same camera module as most of its Symabian^3 siblings – an 8 megapixel fixed-focus sensor capable of HD video recording. Add the new Symbian^3 update – Anna – and we might have a potent business or messaging phone if not else.

Nokia E6 at a glance:

• General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz, HSDPA 10.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
• Form factor: Touchscreen bar
• Dimensions: 115.5 x 59 x 10.5 mm, 87 cc; 133 g
• Display: 2.46-inch 16M-color VGA TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen
• Memory: 8GB storage memory, 1GB ROM, hot-swappable microSD card slot (up to 32GB)
• OS: Symbian Anna OS
• CPU: ARM 1176 680 MHz processor, Broadcom BCM2727 GPU; 256 MB RAM
• Camera: 8 megapixel fixed-focus camera with dual-LED flash, geo-tagging; 720p video recording@25fps
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, microUSB port with USB on-the-go, 3.5mm audio jack, GPS receiver with A-GPS, HDMI port
• Misc: Accelerometer, Stereo FM radio with RDS, Flash support in the web browser, proximity sensor, Battery: 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery

As you can see the E6’s hardware is not top of the line, but we can assure you it’s perfectly fine for what it’s meant – replacing the Nokia E71 and E72 business messengers. The new Symbian Anna has lots of optimizations and seems to work seamless inside the E6. Surely, the E6 won’t attract everyone, but it has enough features to prove worthy.
