If you're unsatisfied with the performance of your Nokia N96, you might want to check out the latest firmware v12.043. According to user's feedback, they're happy with the new update, and say that it even boosts the device's overall performance.

So what are you waiting for?

Rumor has it that Nokia's upcoming beast, the N97, will operate on an ARM11 processor - the same that's used in the N95, but clocked to a higher frequency. This may come as a dissapointment to some of the readers, as many hoped the N97 would integrate a faster and more power-efficient TI OMAP 3 chip.

However, we should note that previously Nokia has stated that the N97 will have 430 hours of GSM standby time, and 6.

Owners of the Nokia N85 can now update thir handsets to version 11.047 through the Nokia Software Updater. You can find the full change log below:

If you’re looking for a simple flip CDMA phone, then you should consider buying the new Nokia 2605 Mirage, especially since there are so little CDMA Nokia's in the U.S. The phone costs $49.99 after a $50 rebate at Verizon, and features Bluetooth, a VGA camera, an external display, support for VZ Navigator, and Xpress-on changeable covers.

Today Nokia has announced its latest flagship smartphone, the N97.

• 3.5" 640 x 360 pixel touchscreen with tactile feedback;
• Slide-out QWERTY keyboard;
• HSDPA;
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth;
• A-GPS;
• 3.5mm headphone jack;
• 32GB of on-board memory;
• microSDHC card (up to 48GB);
• 5Mpix camera with Carl Zeiss optics;
• Battery good for 36 hours of continuous audio playback, or 4.

We have already reported about Nokia N85 coming to the US some time ago. And now it has already appeared in Amazon store and available for purchase.

The only thing which makes us sad - the shipping time within 2 to 4 weeks.

Just to remind you, Nokia N85 features:

• 3G support
  
• a 5-megapixel camera;
  
• a 2.6-inch AMOLED QVGA display;
• GPS;
  
• Wi-Fi;
  
• OS S60.

Nokia 2608 is the latest CDMA phone, announced by company. Basic features include:

• voice memo recording;
• speaker phone;
• FM radio.

Nokia 2608 is presented in 3 different color schemes: fuchsia with a pink stripe, silver with a green stripe, and black with a blue stripe.

The phone will be available in Q1 2009.

A new SDK for the Nokia's Series 40 6th Edition has been released. It will allow developers and network operators create new applications and services. The Series 40 6th Edition focuses on:

• Nokia WebKit Open Source Browser for a complete web experience;
• Adobe Flash Lite 3.0 for vivid yet mellow content for mobile phones;

As expected, Rogers has released the Noki E71 yesterday. It is available for order now through telesales and is priced at $99.99 CAD, including a 3-year contract with a  $45+ worth voice/data plan.

And even if you don't like the E71, there's always the recently released BlackBerry Curve 8900 at your disposal.

The Nokia new N85 is a cheaper alternative for those, who don't can't afford to speng big bux on the N96. The handset is now available for pre-order at Amazon, and will appear in stock on December 6th. The phone will cost you $556, and if you wonder, the MSRP of $1200 looks to be indicated mistakenly.
