Nokia E52 'steals N-series limelight'
Posted: 28 October 2009
The Nokia E52 is a handset that may be capable of stealing the limelight from the firm's other devices - if just for a moment, it has been noted.
Niall Magennis said in an article for Trusted Reviews this week that very often it is the likes of the N97 and N900 that take up the column inches, but this particular E-series model is also worthy of attention.
This is because the gadget looks like a simple candybar style option, but in fact carries the type of email and document editing functionality that might appeal to business users.
For this reason, Mr Magennis described the E52 as "a smartphone for those people who don't really want a smartphone", adding: "The fact that i ...

The upcoming Nokia N900 smartphone has continued to impress one specialist website.
Following an article for the same online news resource, which closely follows the latest devices and developments at the Finnish electronics firm, more features have been discussed which may interest consumers.
Nokia Conversations previously pointed out that the intuitive aspects of the N900 become more apparent the more they are played with, but added this week that there are some other facilities worthy of note.
In addition to a handy kickstand, the site highlighted the phone's web browser, which has an autofill option to take the pain out of repeatedly filling details on online forms and the ability t ...
Nokia 5530 'great for those who do not need 3G'
Posted: 21 October 2009
Nokia has added to its range of music-focussed touchscreen mobile phones with a device that one reviewer has singled out for praise.
Mobile Burn's Ricky Cadden looked at one of the latest budget models in the Finish manufacturer's line-up and explained that although it is lacking in 3G, it is overall a solid device.

Mr Cadden concluded that, with "decent build quality" and a host of useful features, he was able to give the gadget a "highly recommended rating - provided you don't need 3G".

Nokia 5530 'the more affordable 5800'
Posted: 1 October 2009
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic may be an affordable alternative to other more expensive touchscreen models, it has been asserted.
Frank Lewis explained in a review for Cnet this week that the manufacturer has tempted consumers in the past with models like the 5800, but some may have been put off by the cost of the handset.
He added that although services like GPS and 3G connectivity are missing from the 5530, it is currently one of the most affordable full-touchscreen mobiles on the market.
"The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is far from a perfect handset … But, given the phone's low price … we think the handset offers a good user experience for the money," Mr Lewis explained. ...

Posted: 29 September 2009
Those shopping for new mobile phones with text messaging facilities may be interested in the comments featured in a new article.
Frank Lewis explained in a recent review for Cnet that Nokia's E55 is a device that will divide people with its innovative new keypad layout.
The handset uses each button to offer two separate alphabetical options, which the expert explained can be tricky to master, but works well with a little bit of practice.
However, he added it is not just this feature that makes the E55 worthy of consideration.
"It's also amazingly slim for a smartphone, has very long battery life and offers good messaging features, making it easy to recommend," Mr Lewi ...
Nokia Ovi Maps 'simple and useful'
Posted: 28 September 2009
Those considering Nokia's current range of smartphones may be tempted by the recent comments of one expert.
In an article discussing the Finnish manufacturer's Ovi Maps system, it was suggested the service is not only simple to use, it is also something that can be particularly handy for navigation.
Nokia Conversations contributor Charlie explained that this is something he learned during his time in Europe, but added that moving to the US has seen him lose access to the product due to poor support and coverage.
He recalled the easy set-up options and synchronisation facilities that link landmarks and other features together seamlessly.
"There is no doubting the geeky thri ...
Reviewer tests "no frills" Nokia business phone
Posted: 22 September 2009
The Nokia E52 is a device that could be of interest to professionals looking for a reliable business-focused mobile, it has been advised.
In an article for Mobile Burn this week, Russell Jeffries turned his attention to the Finnish manufacturer's new model and noted that the simplicity and practicality of the gadget could interest some buyers.
Attention was given to a numeric keypad that - although missing the full qwerty option of the E71 - was praised as "very easy to type with", while surfing the mobile internet using Wi-Fi and 3G was also said to be a pleasant experience.
This was partially due to the inclusion of an internal processing unit that operates at 600 MHz and &q ...

A new report has been published which lists one mobile phone manufacturer above all others in terms of eco-friendliness.
The Dow Jones Sustainabilty Index 2009/10 highlighted Nokia as the most socially-responsible technology company in the world.
With models including the E71, N97 and 5800 XpressMusic in its range, the Finnish manufacturer has a number of smartphones and audio-focused devices which could interest shoppers.
However, this new green accolade may also help it attract more fans and a spokesman for the firm welcomed the announcement as something reflective of the group's overall attitude.
Rick Simonson, Nokia's executive vice-president and chief financial officer, sa ...

According to Nokia Conversations, the Finnish manufacturer has continued its legacy of bringing these mobiles to the market with the launch of the new X6 and X3 models.

A new Nokia handset designed to target fans of sites like Facebook and MySpace has been put to the test.
Mobile Burn's Ricky Cadden put the Finnish manufacturer's 6790 Surge under the microscope this week and drew attention to the many features which may make it a tempting option for those who communicate via social networking portals.
With a two-megapixel camera onboard, the device is not at the top-end of the photography-focused mobile market, but it does boast a software system that allows rapid video and image uploading.
In addition, Mr Cadden said a slide-out qwerty keyboard has been fitted to the model, while Nokia's decision to "bless the 6790 Surge with plenty of onboard R ...
