Attention! The first wave of fake Chinese 8GB Nokia N95 smartphones has entered the UK market.

Everything, including the package is counterfeited, and costs just £150. The casual eye probably won't notice the difference between the original and fake handset, and that's disturbing...

We would advice you not to pay attention to any unrealistic offers, that is if you don’t want to buy a toy instead of a phone.

You all have probably already heard about the recently announced Nokia 5800 XpressMedia Tube, the iPhone-like handset with the similar multi-touch interface. It should be released in the end of the year, much later than the 3G iPhone, but this won't reduce our interest in it. Today we have a decent list of its specifications, check them out below.
Nokia 5800 XpressMediaTube specs:

• S60 platform;
• 3.

Apparently, there's a new firmware update available for the Nokia E90 smartphone.

Apart from tons of bug fixes and performance improvements, the new build (200.34.72.) offers support for Flash Lite 3 and upgrades the Quickoffice software to a new version 4.1.27.5. If you own a Nokia E90, consider upgrading your handset.
Below you see a more detailed list of changes.

The newly announced Nokia 5000 is an entry-level cell phone with an integrated camera.

It has a monoblock-style body measuring 106 õ 46 õ 11.1 mm, and resembles the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. In fact, if this phone had a microSD slot, it could be considered a music handset, as it supports several audio formats.

The Nokia 5000 will be available for purchase in Q2 2008 for a suggested price of 90 Euros.

N-Gage blog has spread the information, that the N-Gage 2.0 Cellphone Gaming Platform has been released.

Owners of the Nokia N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95 or N95 8GB smartphones can download it now at http://www.n-gage.com/.

Next in line are the N73, N93i and N93 models.

Nokia unveiled two new entry-level CDMA handsets with support for 1700 MHz (AWS) band.

• The first is the Nokia 1606, a basic clamshell cell phone with 8MB of internal memory, flashlight, 1.8" internal 262k color and external monochrome displays, and a battery, which provides up to 3.5 hours of talk and 10 days of standby time.
• The second model is the Nokia 3606, still a low-end phone, but a little more advanced.

Nokia's new 1680 classic is the most affordable cameraphone the company has.

It comes with all the essential functions of a mobile phone (quad-band GSM, GPRS/EDGE data, 128x160 65K color TFT screen, poly/mp3 support, Java), and features a crappy VGA camera, which even has video capturing capability.

The price is just 50 Euros.

And here's yet another budget cell phone from Nokia, the Nokia 7070 Prism.

It has a cool folding design with geometric patterns and external light effects, and comes with basic features, including some personalized multimedia content.

It should be available in Q3 2008 for 50 Euros before taxes and subsidies.

The new Nokia 6220 Classic has been approved yesterday by the FCC.

It is a high-end cameraphone with a 5Mpix camera with Xenon flash and geotagging capability, thanks to integrated GPS, as well as the ability to shoot videos at 30fps in VGA resolution.

Also it runs on the latest version of the S60 operating system, has a TV-out port, but unfortunately lacks Wi-Fi connectivity.

Nokia Siemens Networks have doubled the speed of the existing EDGE network using a software-based solution to 592Kbps.

The so-called EDGE Evolution will be available in the third quarter of this year.

In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks is working on the new EGPRS 2 technology that will deliver uplink and downlink speeds of up to 1.2Mbps and 472Kbps, respectively.
