Red Nokia N95Much to the excitement of no one, the N95 is now officially available to order in red. Carrying the same specs and lack of firmware updates as previous N95-3's, the red N95 carries a hefty price tag of $699 and is obtainable here. I would personally hold off a few weeks until other dealers have the phone, as we have seen prices nearly $200 USD cheaper for the exact same phone in different colors.

Also, it appears Nokia skipped out on the promoting this product under the (Red) network. This is a bit disappointing as multiple other manufactures are offering their products (Apple iPods, Motorola Razors, etc) under the (Red) label, which helps woman and children with AIDS in Africa. Tsk, Tsk, Nokia……

Nokia announced the 3120 classic, although designed like that of the old 3120 this new classic (I know it’s an oxymoron) candy bar slim phone packs a good punch in it's small frame.   According to Nokia’s site under European Phones (its current location) the phone features a user friendly S40 interface for navigation.   Operating frequencies are GPRS: MSC 1(850/900/1800/1900), Quad-band GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900, Dual-band WCDMA 850,2100 / 900,2100 / 850,1900.  Having a large operating frequency range I could see this phone being in the United States soon after release, but don't quote me on that.   Other features that will grab your attention. the phone boasts 3G, a Micro SD slot up to 4 gb, 2” QVGA screen, 2 mega pixel camera on back and another cam on the front, MP3 Player, FM Radio supporting Visual Radio, and slim dimensions of 4.3" x 1.8" x .5".  According to EngadgetMobile , this phone will run €150,  $223 at release next quarter in a large range of colors such as Plum, Graphite, Chestnut Brown, Powder White, and Deep Red.  Wow, that’s a lot of bang for the buck, also check out more pictures after the jump.

JoikuSpot - Your Nseries as a WiFi Hotspot

JoikuSpotHere's something I've been hoping for ever since I strapped on my first WiFi Nseries device- JoikuSpot. This wicked little app turns your Nseries mobile into a WiFi hotspot, sharing your 3G connection to anyone in range- even if that's some poor schlub with an iPhone. Now that lot too can appreciate HSDPA and revel in the marvel that is how mobile browsing should really be.

One thing to note is that this beta release does not allow for encryption, nor does it care about MAC addresses, so you'll want to be careful with it- lest you share your 3G with the world (I say thee 'yay' open networks and share with my brother, though you may disagree). A roadmap is in the works that adds such needful security features, but for now- if you're part of a crowd that needs data now, and there's no WiFi access, be the guy that saves the day. Just be sure to tether yourself not only to your fellow data users, but to a wall as well- this app will no doubt beat the living hell out of your battery. I hope to do some testing on that later and report back, and will most assuredly be taking JoikuSpot with me on the trip to Mobile World Congress next week.

I've just used it to connect an N82 to my N95-3, and it works great- though you want to make sure you're not currently connected to a WiFi network or you will see startup errors. Click here for the download, and happy sharing. :)

 

Black N82 Release Imminent

Black N82When the N82 was launched in November last year, we were promised more color options- a promise that was fulfilled with the white N82- though that model was only an N82 with a white backplate. When rumors began to fly about the black N82, a lot of speculation was made as to whether this will be the same old N82 with a black backing. The discussion is over now. Stefan at Intomobile.com has spotted the black N82, and just as many had hoped, it's full on black. I have to admit, at least in the pictures, this is one great looking device in the new color. I would have to imagine we'll be seeing the announcement at MWC next week- so keep an eye out here as we hope to bring you live pictures of this saucy little black number and whatever else pops up at MWC.

The price is $630, and the ETA is set for February 12th, in the USA only. Not even Canada is getting this one yet it seems as it's not listed on the Canadian Nokia site.

This strikes me as quite odd- because the specs state that it is a WCDMA 2100 device, meaning US buyers will be limited to EDGE, no NAM 3G this round. It's nice to see Nokia pay attention to the American market, but seriously... are we going to see a real NAM variant down the road? Should we take past actions as a warning, and wait this one out? Who's going to buy this thing in the US with Euro 3G, assuming that there will be a NAM variant right behind it? Perhaps we're all jumping too far ahead of the announcement and we'll be seeing the black N82 released globally next week- at least it would make sense.

Buyer beware....? If you're still feeling frisky- order away.

    Nokia is becoming a company that just cannot be stopped.  According to an article in the New York Times on January 25, 2008, Nokia has obtained an outstanding market share of 40% of the global handset market in the forth quarter.  Nokia said that they have sold 77.8 million phones in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, almost doubling the 42.3 million sold in Europe and North America.  Nokia also claims to have sold over 133 million handsets from October to December.  Who would have thought that one company could have gained so much when holding only 20% market share back in 1997.

NGage Launch N81 users can now download and install the NGage gaming platform application where select NGage titles can currently be trialled and purchased. The First Access Ngage launch is limited to the Nseries N81 at the moment and will be available to other compatible Nokia users, one would imagine, very soon.

All About Symbian has screenshots as well as the download and NGage FAQ links and promises to bring more news shortly.

Ricky, the Symbian Guru, has an N81 and is getting ready to pump out some screenshots and his impressions on the Ngage First Access as well.

 If you have an N81 and want to get right into it right away, click away.

Anyone out there have an N81 with Ngage up and running, I'd love to hear how it's working for you so far!

YouTube Mobile AppYouTube has released a Beta version of their own FlashLite3.0 app that allows the users of several S60 devices from Nokia, and a couple Sony/Ericsson devices as well to view the entire YouTube catalog, browse favorites and subscriptions associated with your good ol' standard YouTube account. Devices currently listed as compatible are the Nokia 6110, 6120, E65, N73 and N95, and the S/E K800 and W880.

As always with first run beta software, there are a few issues with this release. I’ve been running the YouTube app on the N95 this morning- so my experience is limited to that device at the moment.  For starters, one of the most annoying hitches with this release is that to hear the audio of a file, you must not be in Silent Mode, and your warning tones must be enabled- the later is quite nearly a deal breaker for me. There is also no option to view the video clips in full screen mode either- even if you swap to landscape mode via operating the slider or with the use of RotateMe. Though a couple of the icons and such are hidden when playing videos in landscape, it just does not fill the screen as EmTube users may be used to.

Samir = Genius It's been quite a while since this was first mentioned and pretty much got overlooked with FlipSilent being released. But as promised, Samir has released the first beta of ShutUp (Even if it is a little fashionably late). Donators have exclusive access to this application currently whilst it is on Samir's forum. If you have not donated already, let me give you a few reasons why you should.

FlipSilent was released a good few weeks ago now and generally took our minds from ShutUp, thinking that Samir had lost his chance in getting this application out to us. But living up to the standards and expectations he has personally produced, he has addressed us with this; my first nominee application of the year! ShutUp has a few more minor features than FlipSilent currently has, including a sensitivity setting, though it lacks the support for alarms. But there's one thing that's caught me totally by suprise! Get this.. ShutUp also includes the fully featured support of call answering and ending with opening and closing of the slider!! (Respectively)

This is one feature I have been waiting 6 months for, since the day my N95 arrived on my doorstep. I cannot express enough how wonderful it is to have this feature back again. It's so simple yet Nokia (For one reason or another) decided to leave it out of the N95, leaving many users a bit lost. A small feature, definitely; but one that I now cherish very much. Thankyou Samir!

I very much recommend going and grabbing yourself a copy of this by donating to Samir now and gaining access to his forums. I can guarantee this is one application you will love! I have more details and pictures after the jump..

NiiMe!NiiMe is a brand new application, and infact the newest on the scene to take advantage of our accelerometers. Asier Arranz (A.k.a. A2J), the developer, has just released the second installment (v0.02) with some bug fixes, all for our geeky thrills. The simple mouse controlling application runs in Python via the phone and the PC to record and transfer data of movement on a 2 axis basis, which in turn gives you a 'Wii like' experience when using your computer. As you can guess, it's not amazingly accurate and would require alot of practice before it could be considered a practical form of input. A novelty? Maybe so, but we love it! :D
