Starting today, the Nokia Music Store is accessible for music lovers in Australia.

Owners of the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N81 8GB and the N82 smartphones will be able to purchase songs for 1.70 Australian dollars per track and albums from AU $17.00 and download them directly on their device. PC downloads are also available, and cost AU $10 per month for unlimited access.

Users can synchronize the music collection between the PC and a mobile via Windows Media Player 11.

Nokia introduced two new members of the XpressMusic line-up.

• The first is the HSDPA-enabled 5320 model, which features dedicated music and N-Gage gaming keys, a 3.5-mm headphone jack, up to 24-hours of play time, up to 8GB of expandable storage, and a "Say and Play" voice controlled playlist. It costs €220 (or $351).
• The second one is the cheaper 5220 model.

Nokia N95 8GB received a new firmware update v20.0.016, which allows for automatic screen rotation.

The new function is based on the device's in-built accelerometers, the fact that makes us wonder: why didn't they add this feature in the first place? Other updates include Wi-Fi and browser improvements.

The upgrade will be available first for the Euro-spec N95-2, followed by the N95-4 in the near future.

Nokia 6500 Classic will soon get a new color - silver.

It should be available in a couple of weeks in the UK for the same price as the existing variant.

Some retailers like MobileFun in the UK are already accepting pre-orders.

Nokia has revealed its first NFC-enabled (Near Field Communications) 3G cell phone, the 6212 Classic.

For those who forgot or didn't know, NFC is a wireless technology developed by Nokia that provides easy interconnectivity between the two devices and allows for fast and convenient data interchange. The handset should be available for 200 EUR in Europe and Asia in the Q3 2008.

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.
