Nokia N96 phone

Rumored for a few weeks now as the N95's successor in waiting, the mighty N96 dual slider has gone all official on us at Mobile World Congress today. Though the phone it replaces is still a beast by any measure, the N96 pushes the envelope further by packing a solid 16GB of storage internally in addition to a microSD slot, something the N95 8GB lacks. The 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens carries over, but there are now two LEDs doing flash and video light duty. The 2.8 inch QVGA display will come in handy for the integrated DVB-H mobile TV tuner, while a 3.5mm headphone jack, A2DP, and integrated stereo speakers should handle audio with aplomb. Other features include WiFi, AGPS, and morphing lights on the smaller second slide that hook the user up with game controls when it's time to relax with a little N-Gage action. Unfortunately, the first version of the N96 (and the only version announced thus far) supports HSDPA only on the 900 and 2100MHz bands, but we imagine the strength of the spec sheet should still be enough to sell a few of these stateside when it launches in the third quarter for €550 (about $797).

The were rumors, and there were pictures, but now Nokia's Supernova series is finally official! These latest phones will slot in as Nokia's new mid-range fashion phones. There are a total of 4 phones announced at the moment, the 7210, 7310, 7510, and 7610. The 7210 and 7310 are candybars, the 7510 a flip phone and the 7610 is a slider.

The 7210 is a tri-band GSM phone with EDGE, along with a 2 megapixel camera and FM radio, set to launch in Q3 for around $189.

The 7310 is much like the 7210, but supports Nokia's Xpress-On faceplates, TV-out as well as support for GSM 850. These additional features add another $55 to the cost of the phone, which surprisingly, is available now.

The 7510 sports the ever-popular flip design, and will have similar specs to the 7310, and is scheduled for Q4 at around $283 and in colors such as “Fatal Red”.

And last, but certainly not least, the 7610 features a slider design, along with a juicy 3.2 megapixel camera, and is scheduled for next quarter at $354.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Review: Express

XpressMusic may have two different meanings. Enjoys music with fast access, or express yourself through music which suitable with personality. And Nokia 5610 is perfect enough to use this name.

This phone is a product which launch almost separately with Nokia 5310. In a flash, both products look so similar. But besides the color factor, both are different product.

If Nokia 5310 launched without 3G features and has tiny designs, hence Nokia 5610 made bigger with WCDMA (3G) network support. It shows that the target market is also different. Nokia 5610 is targeted to middle-aged market with higher budget.

Slider style selected for Nokia 5610. This form can create compact and simple impression at a phone. Not aside from in this music phone.

But what so interesting is the present of some new mechanisms which becoming 5610 “key feature”. One of it can be seen precisely under the screen (top slider). There is a two direction switch. With shifting the switch to left or right, we may directly go to 5610 music player and radio feature without entering main menu and folder. This is the first Xpress factor.

Phone is made by plastic material with anti- scratch feature. Not seen glossy likes Samsung music phone. It is a positive progress, considering that expressive and active music lover no need be afraid to scratch the phone when keep the phone in pants pocket. And this is the second Xpress factor. Smart enough.

Nokia Mid-End phones trend always equipped by 24 bits (16.7 million colors). So do with Nokia 5610. Its resolution is also has reached QVGA 240 x 320 pixel. But, because the screen can be said big enough (2.2-inch), hence display impressed not too special.

This phone included into the newest Nokia S40 line. In consequence, 5610 display having “Today” style display. In which the shortcut of some menus is presented in standby screen. Even still simple, this thing is helping enough for user.

Nokia 5610 equipped with made in Nokia music player. File search system is done to all storage medium in the phone. This assisting enough in looking for music file quickly, adds it to library and makes the playlist which matching with your mood.

Even doesn’t have open OS, 5610 still be equipped by other appealing feature, that is 3.2 Megapixel camera. It’s not a something new, but interesting enough as an addition feature to express your self.

Maximum resolution yielded by this camera phone is 2048 x 1536 pixel. It’s big enough to produce picture with good quality.

5610 XpressMusic successfully announces the meaning of a music phone for Nokia. Expressive designs and musical support which can access expressly is a positive thing which you can get.
