Nokia has unveiled its new 7900 Crystal Prism cell phone, the latest addition to its Crystal collection.

Designed by Frederique Daubal the phone has a seamless diamond-cut design with a crystal centre key, and comes with distinctive wallpapers and exclusive accessories.

Features of the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism include a large OLED display, 2Mpix camera, 3G connectivity, 1GB of on-board memory and a music player with a matching headset.

Check this out. :) You'll be able to buy 2 new Nokia handsets for just 100 Euros soon.

Both are entry-level and are targeted for developing markets.

The first one is the Nokia 2600 Classic model for 65 Euros. Its features include dual band GSM/GPRS, S40 OS, VGA camera, Bluetooth, FM Radio, email, MP3 ringtones, and a 128x160 65K color screen.

The Nokia N95 8GB became the first DLNA certified mobile handset.

This means it can now share various multimedia content, such as music, photos or videos, with other DLNA certified consumer electronics in your house via Wi-Fi.

Here is a definition from the press release:

"The DLNA is a body advocating the interoperability of wired and wireless consumer devices.

Apparently, Nokia fans in Canada will soon get their hands on the company's N95 smartphone.

Rogers wireless in the most likely carrier for the device, but we don't know yet whether they will receive the North American version of the N95, which has 128MB of RAM and a more durable battery, or the "old" one.

Nokia 5700 was cloned again.

This is the second clone you see here; the first one was a pure media player in disguise. :) Despite that its features seem pretty decent, including a 2Mpix camera, 3" QVGA touch-screen, FM radio, TV receiver, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot, their quality leaves much to be desired.

Nokia hopes to launch 6 to 12 new phones customized for North American carriers in 2008, versus three in 2007, as the company aims to improve its No. 4 U.S. market share, the president of its North American business said on Wednesday.

Nokia leads the global cell phone market but has struggled to compete in the United States, where it had an 11 percent market share in the third quarter, according to Strategy Analytics.

The recently revealed patent from Nokia unveils complany's plans for integrating a new gesture control technology S60 Touch that will allow users to control a device without even touching it.

The new technology is based on Ultrasonic Transducers (USTs) set around the perimeter of the device, which would create a 3D gesture touchless interface, a perfect alternative to the iPhone's multi-touch screen.

FCC has recently approved the new Nokia 3555, a 3G (1700MHz) flip phone, similar to the 6555 model.

It will be available from for AT&T and T-Mobile, but we have no idea when Nokia 3555 will be released, nor what features it will include.

Stay tuned.

Nokia has finally announced the launch of their flagship N95 8GB handset in the U.S.

This Symbian S60 based 3G HSDPA-enabled smartphone should be available in Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago and from online retailers during this quarter.

You can get one unlocked for $749, or if you think the phone is too pricy wait until AT&T picks it up.

Many rumors have appeared in the net about the upcoming Nokia E71i, which is the E61 's successor.

As there is no official information about the device we will just tell you what we heard. :) So, the phone should be announced at 3GSM and will probably be released sometime in Q2 2008.

Nokia E71i features will include HSDPA and Wi-Fi support, GPS functionality, 3Mpix camera, and full support for device and memory card encryption.
