Nokia today unveiled the Prism collection, aimed at style-conscious consumers. The Prism collection consists of the Nokia 7900 Prism and the Nokia 7500 Prism, handsets which combine individual style and state-of-the-art technology. The two mobile models will be available in the third quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of EUR 400 for the Nokia 7900 Prism and EUR 210 for the Nokia 7500 Prism, before taxes and subsidies.
There are rumors saying that Nokia plans to launch its new Nokia N81 music phone on August 29th. The pictures you see here are nothing but a mock up, but the final product shouldn't differ much.
The upcoming phone is designed to become Sony Ericsson Walkman handsets' main competitor. And judging by the specifications listed below (which by the way are not yet confirmed) it is true.
Microsoft has extended Nokia's license to include Microsoft PlayReady in its future S60 and S40 mobile phones. PlayReady digital rights management technology allows users to easily transfer multimedia content between devices such as mobile phones and computers. The technology supports most standard media formats, and is fully compatible with previous Windows DRM content.
The famous finnish cell phone maker Nokia had invested much in India already. And now Nokia is opening a new design studio in Bangalore. According to Nokia's representative: The studio, also the company’s first anywhere in the world, will explore a range of design trends and themes, including detailed research into colour and material trends in India.
FCC has approved the new Nokia's Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W. This is a GPS add-on for Nokia's smartphones with Bluetooth support and for the Nokia 770 phone. The company already has a GPS-enabled smartphone, the N95, but not everyone can afford it. So the add-on was an excellent solution.
Despite that all information about the device is strictly confidential, one photo leaked though.
The Nokia's Assisted GPS (A-GPS) service allows Nokia Maps users to quickly find their current locations and get to their destinations faster “by decreasing the time wasted while they wait for a first fix”. In addition, by using a technical framework that works in tandem with Nokia's service, cellular operators can provide their own regional A-GPS services “making fix times even faster in certain areas”.
