Here we go!
I took an exclusive tour around the Nokia Handset Test Laboratory in Farnborough yesterday — see what you think. It really has given me a different viewpoint on (and a new-found respect for) Nokia handsets. I’ve always found them reliable and generally well-built, but when you take a look at the [...]
For all those wondering where I was this morning, the answer is Nokia.
Alas there was no smoke and daggers and X-Files Cancerman-style shenanigans as per my post this morning. I got a little bit carried away.
I actually got a phone call from Ray Haddow, one of the chaps in Nokia’s Social Media/Communications team. [...]
Check out the management speak in this recent press release from Nokia Siemens Networks….
Nokia Siemens Networks has completed the preliminary planning process to identify the proposed remaining headcount reductions necessary to reach its previously announced synergy-related headcount adjustment goal. As a result, the company is now starting the process of sharing these preliminary plans with [...]
Launched today Mobile Industry Review are among the lucky few to receive this new handset for a first hands-on. We have a first look.
Continue ReadingThanks to the people at Nokia Womworld, the best surprise of the day has just arrived - a pre-production E63 (the model we caught a glance of unofficially the other week) not even in final packing! I’ll be trying it out and reporting back.
Looking much like an E71, it has a 3G chip-set, an all-plastic [...]
Continue ReadingWith the mobile industry appearing to have more leaks than the Welsh rugby supporters at the weekend’s international game, Nokia has come out and trumped them all.
It appears the entire Nokia hush-hush-ever-so-secret product line up from now until the end of days has been leaked to the website Engadget.com
There are just so so many to [...]
Dear me.
We’re all rooting for Nokia, we really are.
But consistently, it’s a total fook up. Clearly, there are some smart folks at the company, but these smart cookies don’t appear to be actually running the company.
Nokia, alas, is still stuck in its rubber-boot-manufacturing mindset.
If you’re an N-Gage customer (cue: groan), then Nokia are counting [...]
Those natty guys over at SymbianV3.Com have posted an application for Nokia mobiles, which effectively turns them into an optical character recognition scanner via its camera.
This could be the best use of a Nokia since someone turned the humongous N95 into a paper weight.
In luddites terms the software takes a photo of a page from [...]
It is always interesting to see how companies try and promote their services and engage with their target market.
First up is Nokia’s Comes With Music, previously we have had a lot of coverage here on MIR however this post is written in the position as head of sales and promotions at my student radio station [...]
Respecting developing countries and helping them getting their first footing on the mobile ladder, Nokia has come up with 7 handsets aimed at such markets.
They’re focussing this spate of devices on providing internet access, email, agriculture and education to those places in an effort “to bridge the digital divide”.
Besides offering their lowest cost phones to [...]
Only applicable to UK-based readers: Not our normal type of post, but too good to miss in these credit crunching times. Online cash-back website TopCashback is offering 30% back on purchases from Nokia’s own online store until the 1st December, repeating an offer Nokia made earlier this year through a competing site. It may [...]
Continue ReadingIf you’re a Ferrarri fanatic, chances are you’ve probably come across the many Ferrari branded devices and gadgets brought to the consumers by different companies. Nokia’s Vertu range had just added itself to the array by announcing the Ferrari Ascent Ti.
Bearing a sturdy titanium body, which apparently has been forged at 850˚C, the phone features [...]
If you buy a Nokia N96 you only have yourself to blame.
Before we go on, please note – if you are new to this site – understand that Nokias are my thing.
Resident expert if you will.
This is my opinion and I give it freely to you, the lovely readers of Mobile Industry Review.
So, in [...]
In an effort to promote its highly touted ‘Comes with Music‘ service, Nokia, the leading handset manufacturer has now started placing special benches at various public places in the UK.
Now, before you start wondering what’s with Nokia and the Benches, let me elaborate. The benches are actually a clever advertising medium to promote their ‘Comes [...]
We met Mauricio of Visto walking round the Symbian Smartphone Show last week and — well — you could hear an audible squeak of excitement from us as he brought out a Nokia ‘Exx’.
That’s right.. it’s an E— something. We thought it could possibly be the E63 — and Mauricio did let slip that [...]
After a busy day at the Symbian Smartphone Show we dashed across London to the Nokia Comes With Music launch party.
(In fact I almost bought one of their handsets today when I was passing a Carphone Warehouse on the way to Earls Court).
There was a predictable riot of good looking young things queuing round the [...]
If you’d like a first-look at Nokia’s Comes With Music, you can read Stuart Dredge’s experience here.
As ever, Mr Dredge does a super job with the piece.
Me? Well, I can show you some silent B-Roll if you want.
Other than that….
Wow! Doesn’t time just fly by? I’ve been away for a month – organising myself with school and the various activities I’m involved in, and it feels like forever! Never fear though, because now I’m back. Well, for once a week that is!
Now school’s are a hostile environment (well, at least mine is), and navigating [...]
If the iPhone without 3G or Wi-Fi was bad enough, here’s some more bad news for the mobile users in China.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which has been more widely referred to as the “Tube” is all set to hit China, albeit without 3G or Wi-Fi. The lack of 3G may be due to the lack [...]
The keen eyes of Steve over at AllAboutSymbian have just come across an update available for Nokia’s E90 Communicator. Currently running firmware version 210.34.75, Nokia has made the jump all the way to v300.34.84.
Initial reports by him suggest that the following changes have been made:
Much faster orientation switching (open/close lid etc)
Nokia Maps 2.0 now built-in

Business Week has the details.
And oh, what interesting details they are.
INQ, a subsidiary of Hutchison, is going ballistic. On the back of the success of the S2 Skypephones, they’re lining up a big, big market challenge.
“We’re tired of paying a fortune for phones that are unusable,” says Frank Meehan, the chap in charge.
Unusable in [...]
To all 250,000 readers, if you’d like to check out Comes With Music, Nokia’s latest wannabe attempt to make music work for normobs accustomed to absolute rubbish Nokia user interfaces, then check out some other sites. All About Symbian might be a good start.
A Google for Comes With Music should work, also.
As always, we [...]
It’s here, folks. Nokia has finally unveiled the first touchscreen Symbian S60 powered music phone, which has been majorly successful to draw all the attention towards it over the past few months, being dubbed simply as the “Tube” throughout its development cycle and even making a quick cameo in ‘The Dark Knight’.
This touchscreen beauty has [...]
That’s apparently what we’re about to find out tonight at T-Mobile, according to a highly placed source who’s been texting me. We won’t have to wait too long to find out as the MIR Team is descending on the T-Mobile Winter Preview as I type.

The beers are on OZ Communications.
Big time.
They’ve just been acquired by The Big N.
Congratulations to all.
This is a move that is sure to get tongues wagging some more — Nokia, becoming an internet company? Oh aye. There are a heck of a lot of benefits to Nokia acquiring OZ, not least the existing carrier [...]
