Nokia news, reviews

Nokia today sent notification to all of their subscribers about Nokia N810 available at Buy.com for $405.

The application fetches you the latest text messages from your connected Nokia device. Naturally, the latest messages are displayed first. (more…)

Tablet-Guru.com has a high-resolution print out of the Best Buy Mobile Guide, which inadvertently leaks the next-generation Nokia tablet - N830, and the fact that it will have WiMAX support. Their theory is that the device will be launched at CTIA Wireless this April. Adding WiMAX support is a bit of a game-changer, as some companies like ClearWire have WiMAX coverage of entire US cities (although their selection is limited), therefore enabling entirely different modes of usage.

Remote’EmAll is a remote control program for Winamp, Media Player Classic (MPC) and VLC Videolan Player. It uses network (GPRS,EDGE,3G,WLAN) to send commands to PC. It works on phones and mobile devices which support J2ME (Mobile Java MIDP). It has been tested with few Nokia phones, but it should work on any phone supporting Java MIDP2.0. (more…)

Nokia Maps is taking maps and navigation experiences to the next level and introducing Walk - pedestrian navigation, in addition to Drive - world class car navigation, multimedia city guides, satellite maps and other innovative features. With free maps of more than 150 countries, over 15 million points-of-interest, the world is in your pocket. Don’t get lost or choose to get lost in the right places to explore, and let Nokia Maps show you the way.

Should work but not fully tested with all devices based on S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, including N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95, N95 8GB, E90. If you are using N95, please make sure you have the latest firmware (20.0.015 or newer). You can update the firmware with Nokia Software Updater.

Navigation features require either built-in GPS or external Bluetooth GPS receiver such as Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W.

Using his experiences on The Urbanista Diaries, Devin Balentina of The Nokia Guide has reviewed how the Nokia SU-8W keyboard and BH-803 headset work for the world traveler when paired with the N82.

Devin splits the review down to consider ‘rugged build’, ease-of-use and power consumption (amongst others) in seeking whether these accessories really are suited to the globe-trotter, or are better left at home. His conclusion is that the SU-8W keyboard is a must-have travel companion giving you a full keyboard in a very compact and durable form. The BH-803 however, while a great product, is not so suited to trekking round the world, being a little stylish and fragile for the great outdoors. Though it is sure to wow in a more metropolitan setting.
