Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600 smartphones introduce latest Symbian software update while new NFC-enabled stereo Bluetooth headset takes advantage of NFC pairing and sharing functionality

While all three smartphones contain recognizable Nokia features, they each represent a very distinct set of priorities to allow users to choose what matters most in a smartphone. The most compact touch screen monoblock smartphone in the world (Nokia 700); a sleek and stylish smartphone with the world's brightest mobile display for indoor or outdoor use (Nokia 701), and Nokia's loudest entertainment smartphone (Nokia 600) all bring firsts to the Nokia product portfolio.

"After bringing exciting new features to the Symbian user experience only two months ago with Symbian Anna, we are now driving the platform even further with our most competitive Symbian user experience ever," said Ilari Nurmi, Vice President at Nokia. "Symbian Belle and the three new handsets we are launching today show our commitment to continue delivering Symbian products that allow people to choose what is most important to them in terms of user experience, design, functionality and price.  These will not be last products or updates we will deliver on Symbian."

"With the announcement today Nokia has made it clear that Symbian will continue to play an important role in its product portfolio along side Windows Phone 7" said Nick McQuire IDC. "There is a sense of urgency in the way improvements and innovation are being delivered to the platform that demonstrates how committed Nokia is to make Symbian products a competitive smartphone choice."

Nokia yang kita kenal sebagai raksasa produsen ponsel dari Finlandia itu kini ikut meramaikan pasar Netbook dengan produk perdananya diberi nama Nokia Booklet 3G.

Produk Netbook buatan Nokia ini akan menggunakan sistem operasi Windows, diotaki dengan prosesor Intel Atom dan dalam penggunaan standar baterainya dapat bertahan hingga 12 jam. Netbook ini juga memiliki fitur-fitur yang sama dengan Netbook lain pada umumnya seperti webcam, layar berukuran 10.1 inci, Bluetooth, WIFi dan Card Reader.

Sejauh ini, Booklet 3G bisa menjadi pesaing untuk produk sejenis, namun walau bagaimanapun ini merupakan Netbook produksi perdana bagi Nokia karena itu ini baru permulaan. Kami masih harus menunggu detial dan informasi lebih detail dari kehadiran produk ini di acara Nokia World ‘09.

Saat ini seluruh muslim di dunia sedang melaksanakan ibadah puasa, sebuah ponsel pintar dapat menjadi alat yang membantu seorang muslim dalam menjalankan ibadah puasa, mulai dari jadwal waktu shalat, imsakiyah dan juga buka.

Nokia telah merilis ponsel Nokia 5530 yang memiliki teknologi kinetic Scrolling, fitur ini mirip dengan apa yang telah dimiliki oleh ponsel Apple iPhone. Video berikut menunjukkan, bagaimana fitur ini digunakan pada perangkat Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

Baru-baru ini tersiar rumor bahwa dalam waktu kedepan, perusahaan asal Finlandia ini akan memproduksi ponsel seri "C". Saat tulisan ini dibuat, saya belum menemukan informasi resmi dari pihak Nokia mengenai hal ini, namun saya melihat bahwa dengan adanya kerjasama jangka panjang yang dilakukan antara Nokia dan Intel, kemungkinan Nokia akan memproduksi sebuah perangkat konverjensi seperti MID (Mobile Internet Device) atau mungkin juga Netbook.

Sementara ini saya menyimpulkan bahwa produk dengan embel-embel "C" yang nanti dikeluarkan Nokia akan mengacu pada produk komputer, dimana "C" adalah singkatan dari "Computer". Apakah perkiraan saya benar?, kita tunggu saja.(Q)
